Anyone heard of Helynge Street, Aston

[KarenHD]

The birth certificate for my great grandfather gives the place of birth as Marmon Peace (Place not Peace I assume), Helynge Street. The father (the informant) residence is 5 Watery Lane, Aston. I can't find any reference to a Helynge Street - has anyone heard of it?

I can only think of Heneage Street as being anything close.

Do you have a date for the birth? A name might help as there could be a baptism record. Thanks.

Never heard of it but 1892 directory lists this place


It seems to have been where part of Tilton Road is today. c 1890 map showing Kelynge Street.

c 1950 map with Marrieon Place marked and Kelynge is now Tilton. Looks as if some houses have already gone.
Red line is Garrison Lane and green is Tilton Road - had to map it large enough to read the place name.

May well have been also known as Marion Place, mentioned in the Birmingham Daily Post 1890.

I have an old Birmingham A-Z cost 6/-, no Helynge St

Not surprised with that spelling on the map.

Ooh this sounds a strong possibility - the father was a bricklayer and this street is right next to the brick works

Sorry PMJ - i forgot to include that piece of info. William Burton was born 1873

No reference to the Marrieon Place but Kelynge Street is listed in 1868 directory but not 1862.

This is great info thank you - I have found relatives who were living in Kelynge Street in the 1881 census, and couldn't find any mention of Kelynge Street anywhere (unsurprisingly) but know Garrison Lane and Tilton Road from my youth. I seem to have quite a few roots in the Aston/Deritend/Small Heath parts of Birmingham (especially in the 1800's).
The Kelynge Street connection was one William Harvett, a tin stamper, who is a great-great grandfather on my maternal side.

That was my first thought.

Hi,

Nice to see my old place 8/67 Tilton Road on the map in Janice's post #5.

Does anyone know when those back houses were built?

Kind regards
Dave
