Shall soon move the posts about Teacher Training to an appropriate thread. Viv.

Edit: the posts about Birmingham Training College have now been moved to this thread here

Teacher Training

This is one of those panoramic views so it's divided up into parts. It's labelled Birmingham Training College 1950. Does that mean Teacher Training College ? Maybe someone recognises a person in the photo or are they themselves in it ? Many in the photo seem much older. Perhaps it's a mixture...

I was given several birth family photos, one uncle had 11 daughters, no sons, one had about 25 children not sure if it was 2 or 3 wives. In my family a great great aunt had umpteen children till I discovered she raised her husband's other 2 sets of children of his previous 2 wives who died,. She had at least six children and outlived him. And I am glad to have known her.

It would be really interesting to follow their life story. Are they or their families still in the Birmingham area?

As far as I can see all 3 were still alive in 2021. Georgina and Margaret married but Mary didn't. Mary was listed still living in Baldwins Lane in 2002 before having the same address (possible) as Margaret. Georgina was last listed in Coventry.
