Family SILVESTER - Aston

dirtyden

Black Country Boy
Through my Website for Aston Commercial School/Holte Grammar School, I have been contacted by an individual to say that he has in his possession a book entitled "Hood's Poetical Works" published in 1895 and awarded in 1901 as a Prize for Mathematics to a Ms. SILVESTER at Aston Manor Technical School (Forename witheld for security reasons). Inside the front cover there is a certificate pasted.
The owner would be interested in returning this book to the winner of the prize, or more likely, to a relative.
Please contact me if you require further information.

Sorry I have no more info other than what is posted on my website by the current owner of the material.
 
Hi,
I am currently searching for the Silvester side of my family and looking for a Charlotte or Lottie Silvester who would have been my great grandmother. She had other family in the area and grew up in Clifford Chambers.
If your contact knows any info on Lottie, Minnie, Lily or their mother, Ada Susannah, it would be a huge help. I'm running out of ideas for finding them!!!
Thank you, and I hope you find what you are looking for too
