Nechells

Thank you Pete. Wonderful stuff.
you are welcome. i come from nechells,and that was my hunting ground.going to elliot st.and spion cob park. i had a friends who lived in cucoo rd, so i know it as it was in the 1950s to date.there were a few shop along that rd.2 across from your grans old shop
 
Pete,
you need access to the erolls but Cattells Grove is not on Ancestry between those dates. Someone might have erolls on disc.
 
Following on from the 1955 scan, it appears that searching for some of those residents and the house numbers in 1950 lists them all on Trevor St (search results) which I assume is wrong and it would be Cattells Grove on the scan.

I only found 1955 because something made me check the 1939 reg and some names matched the 1960 eroll (which was Cattell's grove) and when I searched for one of the names 1955 came up but transcribed as "Elizabeth A" o_O
1945 was Stuart Grove
Just found 1950 and it starts

Trevpr Street is not even on the same page - have seen that quite often where the transcriber doesn't realise the road name has changed half way down a page.
No excuse when they are transcribing typed scripts - I can understand census errors when the writing is hard to decipher. Moan over. :rolleyes:

Hello everyone, I am related to the Pedley family who died in the fire in Adams Street in 1927. I am trying to find out what happened to Charles Pedley, the father, who did not perish in the fire. Can anyone help?
Hi Hockley Fan, I am related to Charles who survived the fire in Adams street, and my cousin is closer to him as charles was his grandfather.
