cheers phil..we have a photo of court 8 and 9 now...i think the 60s factory you posted is still there although not the same company

cant be exact bronwen but probably dates between 1890s to early 1900s but i would think the court would have been there in 1841 when sarah probert ran the nearby hope and anchor pub

Hello Astoness pommie again it has been a long time I have been very sick, I found the map that Tab 2106 asked
about. do not know if you can remember when you put the photo in for ward st , I told you I lived at number 6
right of the pillars. the toilet we would have to go to the top of the court yard. Tab 2106 said his family lived in
ward st . my family lived there to in the year 1911 England census my mom was 3 years old her sister was 2 years
they were boarders with their mom , the number was 5back of 6 Ward St B'ham. I lived in 3 houses in ward St
number 33 and the wood yard across the road think number 36, the last one was in number 6, moved in there
1942, I think there was more houses in the court at one time, because after the war my friends and I would
play in the Air-Raid shelter I do not know when they were build. my grandparents lived in court 3 1 back of 8.

5 court 8 ward st before she remarried, she lived at number 5bk of 6 ward st that was court 2. lyn would know

Hi all,

I've stumbled across these posts whilst doing a little research into my family history. I believe my great great grandfather and grandmother lived in no.10 (Arthur & Elsie Lutwyche).

If anyone still checks the thread it would be great if you could guide me to any other info.

Thanks :)

Rob
 
What type of info are you looking for? Photos, memories, genealogy?

Looks like Arthur's mother was living next door at no 9 in the 1920s and in 1935 his brother Robert was living at no 8.

Thanks for the speedy reply @MWS!

I'm literally just starting out, so I guess my reply was just to see who may be out there for now. I didn't think I'd receive a reply so soon :)

Just getting to grips with ancestry.co.uk's search tools too - very early stages.
