Burrows (Sydney )
Hi Astonian, What have I started here? Do you happen to know why Stanley had nothing to do with his natural father Sydney after his mother met Josef? I thought being as he never got on with his stepfather he would have gone and lived with his real dad instead. Did he ever mention anything about... -

Burrows (Sydney )
Hi Janice, Thank you so much for this info. I've just found out apparently Sydney was married before so you were right about that and yes it would be a good idea to go to the library and look at the records to see how long they were there for at May Lane. We knew there was one son but now there... -

Burrows (Sydney )
Hi Janice, No that's the problem, we don't. All we do know for definite was that he was still living in May Lane in 1967-68 Kingsheath area. I thought it was confusing at the start with not knowing his age but after seeing all other bits of info that people have sent me, it gets worse by the... -

Burrows (Sydney )
Hi Astonian, How strange is this story, we thought Sydney's son was called Michael? All I do know for definite was that Sydney Burrows was still living in May Lane in 1967-68 and that he was Foreman of a factory in the Aston area I think. Was Marjorie also known May do you know as she is... -

Burrows (Sydney )
Hi Bewdley, It's getting more complicated by the minute, Astonian has just told me the missing son could be Stanley and not Michael as we thought. Do you know who May was to Sydney when they were living in May Lane in 1955. Was she his wife or mother as there seems to be a mention of Marjorie... -

Burrows (Sydney )
Hi Bewdley, Thank you for that info. I don't suppose you know when he died do you and if there is a son. I've looked before and can't find any info for either of these queries? Many thanks again -

Hi there, I'm still researching the Vernon family on my husband's behalf. I definately know that Sydney Vernon born 1908, died in 1968 as his death was registered in June of that year. I'm trying to locate the 2 sons John and Ronnie who should be now around 79 and 65? Any idea how I could find... -

The Bell Marston Green.
Can't believe The Old Bell will not be a pub anymore. I live just up the road from there and hadn't heard anything about this before I read it on here. I hope it survives better than the Chestnut Tree did on Sheldon Heath Road and the Comet Pub at Hodge Hill. We just seem to be losing all our...- KARENW

Help with a Death Certificate Sidney Burrows
Hi Shera, I don't think either of them are him either but thank you so much for trying to help. All we know is he died in 1968 and lived in May Lane around the Hollywood, Wythall area. He had his own factory and a son called Michael. We have looked but there doesn't seem to be any trace of him...
