Does anyone remember any of the Tidmarsh family that used to live in Aston. My father was born Cyril Tidmarsh on Park Lane in 1921 and left at about 18 years to join the RAF at the start of WWII. He had a half sister Annie, and two sisters Beatrice, born 1914 and Edna, born 1923.
His father, my grandfather, was a Henry Tidmarsh, and I'm sure he ran a café cum boarding house in the Balsall Heath area during the war. When I was a child I was told tales about my father going around the Aston Villa football ground selling toffee apples and the like that Henry had made. This must have been before the war.
The reason I'm asking about the family; my father didn't communicate much with his family, and because he changed his name, we consequently know very little about them. I am particularly interested in any surviving children, or grandchildren of his sisters, as they would be our cousins, and would have interesting knowledge of the families.
Any info would be gratefully appreciated.
