It’s Witton St in Small Heath that I mean, it runs off garrison lane, when I look on google earth the numbers of the houses go up to 59 Witton St, then there are Park Villas
Thanks. The reason I asked is that from old maps it looks as if the street changed around WW1. I will have a look and see if I can work out if or how the numbering changed..
On the 1881 census the numbering goes from 61 to houses in court 8 and then goes to 62. I can't read the surname at 1 ct 8 - this is it
If this is the right place then it is where Park Villas are now. See red marker on both maps.
Thank you both for pointing this out, why for the life of me I never looked at the 1881 census too I don’t know ! William J Crump is my gt grandfather & yes the name is Village, such a shame the house isn’t there now.
Thanks for your help
Glad to help. This is why it is always worth asking someone else - a pair of fresh eyes or a new approach. Thought he might have been the person you referred to.
