Hello Sheri (if you're still watching),
I'm still piecing things together on this (and I haven't checked the maps people have posted yet), but Arthur Rathbone, my grandfather on my mother's side, was born on the 2nd July 1885 at 38 Court, Watery Lane. In 1906 he was playing for the football team called Small Heath Rovers (or 'Alliance', or similar) which came to be Birmingham City Football Club. This link has been mentioned by someone else on the forum, so I assume Watery Lane was in or near Coventry Road/Small Heath. I have a football team photo from that year, which includes my grandfather, which I will post here once I've made a digital copy of it.
Arthur's parents, Henry Rathbone (aged 23) and Ann (ne Gold, aged 22, also known as Hannah, and previously of Birchall Street, wherever that was) were shown on the 1881 census as living at this address, with a son, also called Henry.
Arthur came to marry Nellie Brown and have 4 daughters, one of whom, Ann Rathbone, was my mother. She is dead now, but I'm pretty sure she went to Garrison Lane school. I think it was there that she won a prize for winning the school table tennis tournament, something she was always very proud of. In 1908 when Arthur and Nellie married, they were living at 14 and 13 Garrison Street, respectively, so I assume they had and brought up my mother through her school years while they were living there.
