Biddle

Re: Biddle- More Biddles

I am trying to do a bit of research for my cousin who is a Biddle by birth.

Her father was Derrick John Biddle born in Birmingham 08/01/1940, I have found his birth record which states mothers maiden name as Horsell.

I have searched but cannot find any details that may suggest his mother and fathers first names (marriage record etc)

I may be able to get further details when I next speak to my cousin (unfortunately both parents died when she was a teenager)
 
Mrs Biddle, of Summer Hill Terrace had 2/3? houses which she converted into Bedsit accomadation, i rented one circa 1953, she had relatives who ran a guesthouse in Margate. Len.
 
Hi Speedy
Sorry I can't help with your query but was wondering if you are related to Philip Biddle - born c. 1944 as I am looking for an old friend whom I was at school with in Birmingham.

I was at school (Kings Heath) with a Biddle (Christian name will not surface). I was born 1943 so of a similar age.
 
I don't know the Biddles in your post but my cousin was Victor Biddle the chemist from Potters Hill, Aston and later Villa Road. His mother was my dad's sister, his father was James Biddle who would have been born around the late 1800's.
His family have been doing some research on their tree through Genes Reunited.
Maybe some connection? E.
Hello Second cousin Eric. Victor Biddle was my father. I know your post was quite a few years ago, but sure you still around? Please rely if so and I can validate this.

and how they went to the biddles house and venues of part,s of what ever occasion
but it was a regular thing with the jelfs and bidles get together at there part,s and at the certain pub on constitution hill
and i would like to asked i think it was a person named carole sent me an em about two years back saying she had a picture of a biddle whom she knew or was related to
I have been going through my old files searching for some think, a presto i found the dates i was looking for two years
Ago requesting the same question ,yes the biddles of Aston,
So as i have seen some one else serching the biddles, here is my connection to the biddles
