i am currently looking for any pictures of the above address.

There is a thread about Freeman Street here on BHF:

Freeman Street

Any way just read this (properly) I wonder if they would like and old labourer ? Freeman Street Baptist Meeting House The History: A Baptist Meeting House and Burial Ground was licenced for public worship on Freeman Street (now part of a car park at the back of Moor Street Station) in 1729...
birminghamhistory.co.uk birminghamhistory.co.uk
However this is in the Digbeth area of the city and not Ladywood. No other Freeman Street was found in a search.
 
There was a Freeman Road in Nechells and number 41 was The Stork, one of the first pub I ever had drink. At 16 I looked nowhere near 18 so my mate used to go inside and gets the drinks and we drank them outside.

Caroline,

You are quite correct concerning the number being 43 according to Kelly's Trade Directory, but I was going by the 1940 OS map which puts at 41. I have no idea which is correct.

There must be something wrong somewhere, because I have counted the houses in Freeman Road starting at number 1 opposite the pub and there are 43 including the pub and that is the last property in the street.
 
In 1955 George and Valerie Lupton are at No. 41 with Edith Roberts , No 42 is occupied by family headed by Michael Bruton, and No 43 is headed by Charles Pallett.

missysavage,

Is this enquiry in or around the same time frame as the other one and what is in relation to? Do you have a copy of the document that it comes from and is it possible to post an image of the relevant section of that document, especially if it is handwritten.
 
I think it is a fault by the transcribers of the electoral roll to the internet, if you click on to
41 y-cook on Ancestry it will also take you to 41 Freeman Road.

I keep saying this but I need to get myself new glasses, because the map I posted shows as clear as day that the Stork was at number 43 and not 41 as I stated a couple of times. Please accept my apologies Caroline.
 
Every record I can find puts the Stork at 43 Freeman Road, Ladywood and every record that I found of
George and Valerie Lupton put them at No 41 Freeman road, Ladywood.
On records of Freeman Street , is between Bloomsbury Street and Goodrick Street (which I presume was where Goodrick Way is now.)

As Alberta says the address given on the eroll is 41 Freeman Road not Street (as in the thread title). It also includes Edith Roberts as well as Valerie and George Lupton. I assume Edith is related to Valerie.
Edith is listed at 41 on the 1939 register and the Stork is given as 43.

A bit more history of Freeman road,which in 1911 is classed as Nechells.
1911 Census has at No 41
Joseph Bateman Railway carriage fitter
Ellen his wife
Edith age 24 daughter ,single
Florence age 21 daughter single
Francis Joseph Henry Bateman age 3 grandson
Albert Roberts age 24 single (Albert and Edith married in 1915)

at No 42 is a Fellows family
at 43 is Frederick May, Public house manager.
 
If indeed it is Freeman Road and it is number 41 that is being sought then the woman in the photo at post #4 is either entering or leaving that house.
