Hi everyone,
Just received George's death certificate. This shows that he died at Selly Oak Hospital but resided at 145 Alcester Street (Rowton House). It also describes his occupation as a Brass Dresser. This fits with other descriptions over the years, on the 1911 census it also states brass dresser, but also says that this is for 'Naval Brass Founder Worker' This just leaves his occupation on his marriage certificate as a query. I think it says 'Church Metal Worker'
Also on the marriage certificate it states that Ellen was residing at 99 Grantham Road, but I cannot find any other details to see why she was living there.
Have also noticed on George's death certificate it states that the informant was Florence Wheeler, Daughter. This means that they must have remained in touch despite going into the home in 1912. It also says that Florence was living at 18 Dymoke Street, but again no trace on this either. When I have cross referenced the details I have so far, I can also see that Florence was a witness to Ellen's marriage in 1929, so further proof that they were still in contact with each other.
Have ordered some other family death certificates to see if this will help (Lily DOD 1958 / Florence DOD 1958 / Doris DOD 1926)
Help needed - I cannot get the copy document to upload,any advice?
Many thanks,
Jane
