There was a Pledger, George, i think who was a builder and had a yard on the Coventry rd Sheldon. I think the 1912 address would have been the Coventry rd Bordesley or Small Heath.

Hi Robert, thanks for the message! I do remember the builders yard at Sheldon, I think it was owned by The George William Pledgers as above son! ..... As George Pledger senior died approx 1914! We use to live at the back of the Wheatsheaf pub! I,m sure my father Fred Pledger would have had dealings at the time! ..... But over the years lost contact! And since my fathers death, have been doing the family tree! ... Trying to reconnect with this Pledger side! I,ll have to dig into this business side a bit more! Many thanks
