Pete, thank you…..
On page one of the census it looks as if the road goes from Trinity Road to witton Lane so my guess is Witton Road - just going to see if Kelly's helps.crikey jan he left a lot of money...this is just the sort of info i wanted so he was not actually brummie born then...the writing on the 1891 is just awful...cant make out the address so i will go back and forth on the census pages to see if that helps..thanks jan

1891 they were in Aston at 384 - I have no idea what this says. Is it Witton Road??
