Have already looked on electoral roll and no Tony Hadleys come up and only anthony is an anthony A at 572 Bordesley Green in 1955-65, and an anthony J at 12b The Riddings in 1962 and 65. Could he have been under 21 when at Hospital St?

He was definitely under 21 when he lived there but I do think he lived there until he got married at 24. The others who lived there wer Mary(may) Hadley, Yvonne Hadley and maybe William Appleby. His name was Tony not Anthony
 
ok elaine maybe mike can check up the other names you have given but they would have to be over 21 years of age to be on the electoral rolls

Could possibly be only May over 21 then. Not sure when John Hadley his father lived there I think he died in 1945
 
In 1945 & 1947 there was John Hadley at 1 back 260 hospital St
In 1950 there was John Hadley & May L.Hadley at 1 back 260 hospital St
In 1952 ,1955, 1957, 1969 & 1965 there was May L.Hadley, at 1 back 260 hospital St

Yvonne Hadley only comes up in 1965 at 33 horseshoes lane, where lionel G & Lily Hadley had lived since 1952
William Appleby was at 95 Hospital St from 1920-1939

Mike thanks for this. John Hadley and May Hadley were my dads Steparents (long story and sad). So I think this is the address 1 back 260 hospital street. Would this be as described near Bloxams?
 
The 1950 Kellys describes William Bloxham, shopkeeper as 260 Hospital St, so I don't think it could be much closer

Mike do you see a Gladys Ada Hadley in hospital st at all although she died in 1941. I think that John and Gladys (she was his first wife )live in 13 corville rd quinton, how John ended up in hospital st I don't know. But he married may in 1950 then died in 1951
 
No Glady Ada in hospital Str, though there is one in 1935 at 1 court 49 Bell Barn Road

Hi Elaine.
Yes I lived in Hospital street until houses were demolished in the early 1960s.
I was born in 1945 but my late brother Billy Grigg was born the same year as Tony”Mo” and was a pal of his. I once saw a couple of photos of your dad at a darts presentation that took place at The Red House. I remember where his family lived and the shop you mention was not a corner shop but at the end of the entry where your dad lived “Mrs Bloxams” I think.
Best wishes moss

Hi Moss, my dad asked me to see if you know what happened to Teddy Williams and Ralph Sherrington two more that he remembered. I remember as a small child going to visit with Teddy and his wife Rose (maiden name Badger according to my dad). I don't think it was in hospital street though.
 
Hi Elaine,
I don’t know about Teddy William’s other than they moved to Chelmsley Wood and Rosie married again.
Unfortunately Ralph passed away in 1977 at the age of 40.

Regards to you and your dad. Moss

Aaah well it would have been nice to know Teddy was doing ok, he will be sorry to hear about Ralph. My dad also said he thought you had a sister who also married one of the crew who I think he said played football or maybe he meant your brother.
