I am having a great deal of difficulty trying to ascertain when Elsie Frances Lawson died. She was born in 1885 to Sarah Ann and Ernest Worsey. She married George A Lawson in 1915. From the electoral registers, I have discovered that Ernest Worsey was living at 5 Thimble Mill Lane in Aston...

Joseph Worsey married my great aunt Eliza Herodias French in 1887. Eliza's mother was Sarah Ann Worsey, previously French, maiden name Taylor. Although her husband, Ernest Worsey, had a brother, Joseph, it seems unlikely that Eliza would marry her mother's brother in law. The Worsey family were...

From other threads concerning Blews Street west, I gather that The Vine was at number 1 Blews Street West. Does anyone know if any images of the area are available in the late 1890's are available anywhere. Also does anyone have any idea which brewery owned The Vine. If it was Atkinsons then...

Can anyone tell me which brewery owned The Rose and Crown in Hingeston Street, Hockley around 1880, and also which brewery owned it at the time it was demolished in the early 1970's

I realise that this may need to have been directed at a forum that deals with Staffordshire rather than Birmingham, but parts of Great Barr are now in Birmingham. My grandfather, Harry Robert Wynniatt lived in Grove Vale from around 1905, until about 1818. I know that he was shown as a Coachman...

My great grandfather originated in a village in Northamptonshire, and moved to Birmingham in the late 1870's where he is recorded as a beer retailer at a pub. His widow carried on as a beer retailer at the same address for another three years. She remarried and moved to another pub, where her...
