Durows, although it is in as Darows
Very many thanks , zany idea what sort of dwelling it was?
Thanks
Thank you again, why I asked about Solihull is because on page 8, Solihull Borough 1841 census, second entry is a Henry Durose an agricultural labourer and I have often wondered if this was my Henry and the name misspelt so many times was written Incorrectly. But can you translate the address again please and where was it?
Thanks for the map, the address translation I wanted was the Solihull one, but looking at your map, this is a long way to go every day
Thanks again I have always assumed brougham to be a misspelling of Birmingham and unfortunately there was no house number in the church entry for the burial, just Cregoe Street.
You are an absolute star to go to all this trouble for me, Henry has been a pain in the butt ever since I discovered him. His only records are on IGI, on FreeBMD and ancestry etc he does not appear until his misspelt name in 1851 living in Stoney Lane and then three years later he dies in Cregoe Street and of course there are children born after his death, I really must invest in some birth and death certificates, but thanks for all your hard work, I am really grateful.
I've never heard of Beggarly Green (and I was brought up in Olton!). I too found a reference https://midland-ancestors.uk/resources/birmingham/tyai-birmingham/acocks-green/ probably the same one you found but have not been able to find it on a map. Will be interested to know if you find anything.
From these maps it looks like Beggarly Green disappeared when what is now the Warwick Road was struck through/straightened and became a Turnpike Road. It would be good to have a new thread on Olton and James Kent in place of 'The Red House, Snow Hill' which doesn't allow for much expansion, can anybody help on this please.Sorry - mods we have gone a bit away from the title of this thread.
Haven't found a map showing the area but by the 1851 census the local area is Ulverley Green. That part of the census includes Olton Hall which in 1841 was in the section of the census including Beggarly Green. I assume that in that decade the name changed.
I think have found the chapel (from post 23) on a map - there is still a chapel building there but last time I went by it was a bridal wear shop- just by the railway bridge.

Did Kineton Rd become Kineton Green Rd at some stage? I think the Beggarly Green chapel was on the corner of what is now Brookdale Rd. not the one that is now a bridal shop, why two chapels so close no idea.Sorry - mods we have gone a bit away from the title of this thread.

Kineton Lane may have became Kineton Green Road when what was likely a cart track to Warwick Rd was urbanised when Olton Station opened in1869. The building next to the railway bridge in Warwick Rd was formerly a butchers shop with a blacksmiths shop underneath, this was bought by Congregationalists and converted to a Chapel in 1879, the upper part was the chapel run by a lay preacher and the lower part (the cellar) served as a school classroom although the dampness due to the brook running next to it made it unsuitable for children and in 1883 closed. The United Reform Church in Kineton Green Road on the corner of Brookvale Road by the architect John Osbourne opened on 1st January 1901.
