Hi to everyone,
My grandad David Downing 1868-1956 was listed on the electoral roll for 1957 living at the address of my late aunt and uncle Edward Arthur Slaney and Patricia Sarah Slaney nee Downing. The address was 134 Great Tindal Street Ladywood.
I stayed at this address when I was very young most weekends. Suspicious my mother and father were trying to get rid of me but that's another story.
We moved house from Heath Street Winson Green in 1954, this was David Downings house but I don't remember him being there when we left, I was only 7 years old at the time so I think he went to live with his daughter Patricia Slaney at Great Tindal Street. This is where the mystery comes in, he died in Western Road sanatorium on the 7th January 1956. The electoral roll was done in the January of 1957, or was it done before the date on the roll?
Any answers to this mystery would be very much appreciated.
