    we are now using a backup solution

Still looking for a photo of my Great Grandmother

Carol Smith-Tavinor

proper brummie kid
Her name (s) was Emma Elizabeth nee William's when her father ran the old Boar's Head at Perry Barr then she married and her surnames were Spencer, then Foden, then Barnes (Shenstone) when married to ex Mayor/Sheriffe George Barnes. SHE was quite a woman, abandoned, thrice married, publican, philanthropist and my heroine. So am looking for any old photos not already on line, of the original Parson and Clark at Streetley or The Royal Oak when her second husband's family of Fodens had it or any social event when she was married to George Barnes.
Hope someone out there can help as I have run out of places to go after 10 years of looking!
