Can any one help us with information on Florence Froggatt of Peel St circa 1949. My father was born to her but was given for adoption soon after birth.
We know they lived around 55 Peel Street in a shop with her sisters and mother. look forward to any assistance,

Hi Andy B
I have a Florence Froggatt in my family tree. a First cousin once removed. Is 1949 the date of Florences birth?
If so, it is much later than mine.who was born Ca 1905.
She married an Ernest Holt who did a runner, leaving her with at least a young daughter named Betty.

Hi dave ,

we have just had contact today from someone who has given us some infomation. Florence Froggatt was married to Alfred and had two sons 1946 Alfred and then Charles 1946- he was adopted for some reason.

Florence b1920 maiden name was Gurden and the family had a grocer store 139 Peel St.

Alfred died 2002.

I dont know if that fits with what you have told me Dave.

Hi,
this was my fathers brother, Alf was born in 1946. My dad was born in 1949 and for some reason was given for adoption. We cant find out why. Alf married Linda Wickham and had two daughters in the 70's. Alf died 2002 but Andy is still alive.
Florence Froggatt was Gurden and her family owned the grocery shop at 139 Peel St.

Re: Florence Froggatt 1949 Peel Street

the story so far... Florence Gurden(b1920) married Alf Froggatt and lived in Peel Street Birmingham.
Alf Froggatt jnr was born 1946-2002 but Alf snr died before young Alf was born. Three years later Charles Froggatt was born father unknown and was put up for adoption.
Florence then remarried to William Perry and had a daughter Dorothy J Perry born 1958.
Thats all we have leant so far but thanks to all who have contacted me, if anyone else knows anything please get in touch.

Re: Florence Froggatt 1949 Peel Street

I have found, in my late father's photography collection - a wedding invitation for a wedding between Miss Millicent Froggart (Froggat?) to Mr William Bradshaw on Aug 31st 1899 - ceremony at the Darby Hand Chapel, Netherton. I cannot find anything on marriage censuses or anything related to them - birth/death etc. Wondered if anyone has any links? I understand the chapel now is situated in the Black Country Museum! I must go and visit, Many thanks
