Hi Pedrocut, thank you for that, the reason why I ask if anyone has him in there tree is that I have in my possession a medal, with his name on the back and 1922, which I have found whilst going through my parents house, which I would like to return to the appropriate family, thanks!
Adolphus Frankish was my Dads Grandfather and he was in the police force in Birmingham. Where was your parents house?

I've just read your article from April 2020, you said you are researching Pearsall family.
My uncle Charles Edgar Phillips d o b 18/3/1889 he married Martha Pearsall on 23rd July 1910. At the time she was living at 35 Cattlells Grove.
I also believe in 1901 census she was living at 46 Cattells Grove with seven family members.
I hope this is some help, if you feel I can help in any way please contact me.

Sorry you did not leave a name.
The Martha Peasall in my family tree married my uncle Charles Phillips on 23rd July 1910, I think her father was William.
In 1911 they were living at 298 High St Harborne.
In 1914 (28/4/1914) they had a son Sydney William Phillips.
If you feel we are looking at same Peasall family I may have more information but it would take a little time to search.

Just came across this site, as I was researching my family history. Adolphus Frankish was my great grandfather. After retiring, he and his wife moved to Rhos on Sea in North Wales. "Dolfie" kept a pub there, and is buried in the local cemetery. Interested to know more.

For a number of the baptisms of his children his address is listed as Steelhouse Lane.
