Barn Street Aston

Can see it now Phil, but am not sur eif it was I that originally posted it. i seem to remember that I looked for and identified the Francis shop after someone else posted it . Or it might be me getting a bit senile.

Thanks to every one who contributed to this thread, it's great to know so many indivduals join in and are able to help.
I will save the photos with my family tree-history.
Best wishes to all.
 
I have just seen the photo from the link from Colin.
I noticed the ducts/ shoots which appear on the fronts of the buildings. As a architect-surveyor I have studied buildings, and refurbished many from the 1900's but I haven't see this arrangement before. There seems to be a door at the bottom persummably for emptying something, perhaps ashes from the fire ?
Has any one got any other ideas ?
 
Hi Graham

Although it doesn't say so in the post, the houses in that photo were actually flats. So I was just wondering as they seem to terminate on a balcony if they were rubbish chutes.

Its great to see the pictures of Milk Street, looking at the old street map I have its taken looking down Milk st and whoever is taking the picture is standing in Barn St ?? I had family living in Barn St Court 9 Burbage/Jewkes any info on the type of houses or family members would be great =)

Lady Linda, I don't know where you get your fantastic information from but could you possibly find my great grandfather Joseph Savage who was living with his new wife Maria Sweet at 1 Court, 2 House, Barn Street, in 1902? I would be so grateful xxx:love_heart:
 
The information came from the census. these are only held every 10 years, so there was one in 1901 and another in 1911. He is not in 1911 living at the same house as you quote for 1902, and I have not found him by a simple search. Possibly his name has been corrupted while being abstracted, thus hindering the search.
 
someone on ancestry has the same family tree and they have - maria savage died in 1904. in 1911 joseph savage was living with one of his daughters and her husband phillip tunnicliffe 24, mary ann tunnicliffe 24, joseph savage (father) 48 widowed general dealer., and albert savage 9.
they were living 2a coleman st. aston.
 
following on, the family tree has info that joseph savage died 13 oct 1920 and had continued to live with his daughter and son-in-law, phillip and mary ann tunnicliffe at 5 may place, forster street, duddeston, nechells, bham. he was listed as a chemical manufacturers carter.
 
Joseph Savage is on 1871 census in Coleman Street.

no 7 Coleman Street
John Savage age 39 b Ireland
Arrabella age 30 b Ireland
John 11 b Ireland
Luke 9 b Ireland
James 6 b Ireland
Joseph 5 b. Birmingham
living with them is Johns widowed sister
Bridget Golding age 35 b Galway Ireland
all her children born Birmingham
Mary 5.Catherine 3,Julia 2,Thomas 6 months.

Joseph married Mary ann Turner in 1886 and she died in 1901 he then married Maria Sweet.
He is living with his daughter by Mary Ann turner in 1911.
 
Thankyou for that Shera, that is probably my tree you were looking at. I couldn't find Maria in 1901 but my great grandfather Joseph was still with my grandmother who died the same year. I just can't find Maria anywhere before 02. x
 
Thank you for taking the trouble Mike. I just haven't been able to place Maria anywhere before 1902. xx
 
There is a maria sweet on the 1891 census living as a lodger with william and emily newman at 3 oxford place inkerman st, occ. press worker.
 
It's cool to find this thread. My ancestors Joseph Chapman and Ann Higgins(Chapman) were both born in Sheffield but the 1841 census has them living on Barn Street with their four daughters (they also had one son who was born in Birmingham after the census). Joseph was an Anvil Smith (a maker of anvils). The 1851 census and all subsequent censuses shows the family back in Sheffield without any of the 4 daughters. It's just possible that the oldest daughter is living elsewhere either married or as a servant but I'm assuming that at least 3 of the girls died. I'm wondering:
a) What might have killed off the children? Could it have been connected to any particular type of manufacturing that dominated this area at that time?
b) I don't know, but I'm assuming they could have got from Birmingham to Sheffield in the 1840s by train but how would the family have got from Sheffield to Birmingham in the late 1830s? How long would it have taken? It seems like a huge journey in pre-train days.

(The couple had several kids on retun to Sheffield, most of whom seem to have survived into adulthood)
 
Memebers of my family during 1850 - 1890, lived in various house in Barn Street and what would haved been the back-back houses listed in census records as courts.
I'm trying to find any old photographs of the the road or courts, can anyone help.
