    Count me in as one of those people descended from Isabella. I'd love to see what information and pictures you have of Isabella and any of her 11 children that survived to adulthood. I've collected a decent amount of info over the years (including from Local History & SO73) but am always after...

Amongst these was his National Registration Identity Card which stated that he was a member of the 32nd Battalion of the Warwickshire Homeguard.

    Lilley Frederick & Lucy Looking for descendants

    Hi Sue, Yes, I am a subscriber to Ancestry. I've gotten some great results and contacts through there before including for the Lilleys but nothing of substance for this particular group of Lilleys. Same goes for Genes Reunited too. I'm not expecting any immediate replies from family to this...

    Lilley Frederick & Lucy Looking for descendants

    Hi John, Thanks for replying and for taking the time to look up what you have. I've been able to find Fred & Lucy in all the censuses and have their certificates so I have all the "official record" data. Amenah has been a good tool in making sure I had the right people. What I'm after...

    Price, Thomas and Mary Ann (nee Andrews)

    Hi Maureen Thanks for taking the time to reply and for letting me know the plot number they are in. In regards to filling out a consent form, if you send it to me I will ask her. If she doesn't want to, I'm sure her brother, my uncle, will instead. I have more questions regarding burials at...

    Hi again I checked the churchyard on Field Lane this morning and it was the right one - I found the grave. I also found a couple more for other family members that I wasn't expecting to find so that was a bonus. Cheers Iain

    Price, Thomas and Mary Ann (nee Andrews)

    Hi all I’m trying to find the grave of my great great grandfather, Thomas Price. He was buried in Nov/Dec 1950 in the same plot as his wife Mary Ann who died in 1926. My nan says he was buried in Bartley Green cemetery, which as she puts it “was at the top of Jiggins Lane”, which was where he...
