Hello my name is Kirk Leslie Bailey. I am Canadian born Toronto, Canada 1941. My father John Leslie Bailey was born September 30, 1910 in a place he called Lower Heath in England. My grandfather was Jack Bailey. My father's family have all passed so I have no one to ask. My Grandfather Jack I'm told worked in the Birmingham Carriage Works and was due to be the next foreman. The Works Manager said "Sorry Jack, you are going to have to wait, my son is getting that job". My grandfather Jack Bailey and his wife (my grandmother Edith Mary Hadley Bailey) packed up their family and immigrated to Canada in 1911 when my father was 1 year old and settled in London, Ontario. I would be greatful for any information anyone could provide about The Birmingham Carriage Works or Lower Heath. The Internet tells me very little. Much appreciated. Thanks very much.
