Joseph George Baines, dairyman (retail) was listed at 29 Station Road in both the 1901 and 1911 census and the also in the1939 Register. In the 1901, the building is named as Rose Cottage. It was situated opposite the junction with Osbourne Road. He had married Agnes Jay in 1898. Joseph and his family lived there until his death in 1942. Probate records reveal that he died on 6th Sept 1942 at the QE Hospital. Probate was granted to Francis Joseph Baines, his son.
what a shame numbers 25..23..21 still there but i think no 29 has gone and would have stood round about here on todays streer view but if joseph george baines is amandas family then thats a great piece of info from brasscaster along with a photo of the house..todays st view below 29 i think would have stood on the right corner below
When I was younger, it was St Thomas’ youth club. I had been in there a few times in the late 60’s.what a shame numbers 25..23..21 still there but i think no 29 has gone and would have stood round about here on todays streer view but if joseph george baines is amandas family then thats a great piece of info from brasscaster along with a photo of the house..todays st view below 29 i think would have stood on the right corner below
Maps showing 29 station road in c1915 and c1950 are below, Joseph George Baines, dairyman is listed there in the directories formA 1900 till 1938 (please remember that this is publication date and probably refers to the year before). In the 1930s by this is listed the St Thomas Association club, which would suggest , looking at the 1950s map, that the diary might have only been the front part of the site
amanda if you look at the map you will see that the club was at the back of the house

Thank you for this information. The names tie in with my brother in laws family. He is trying to find details of his uncle only knows his name was Philip and according to family tales he died in Egypt.

Amanda, your brother in law's uncle was Philip Austin Baines. Born on 23 June 1906, to Joseph and Agnes and he was living with them at 29 Station Road in the 1911 census. He married Irene Mary King in Birmingham in 1935 Q3. In the 1939 Register the couple lived at 28 Machin Road B23 and he was a milk delivery salesman. During the war he served in the RAF Volunteer Force as a Leading Aircraftman. He died on 4th August 1945 and is buried in the Basra War Cemetery in Iraq. One record mentions that he died of heatstroke in number 29 Indian General Hospital.
I have also attached some newspaper cuttings about Joseph and his dairy. Hope this helps.
Thank you
Hi, I came across your post. If its of any use I used to live at 29 Station Road. My mothers maiden name was Baines. The dairy was non functional when I was living there as an infant. I do have some recollections of its history as it was related to me. Message me if you want further details
