She was at that address for a long time then

Martha lived at 372 Somerville road in 1935 but as Martha Wells even though she was married to Fredrick Brain. In 1939 still at Somervile Road she's now registered as Martha Brain with Fred also registered. I'm sure she lived there until her death in 1963.

Correct!

More than likely and yes Martha lived at Sommerville Road.

I don't think she had a middle name but relatives were called Jane or middle names Jane so I'll have to find out. Thank you

Yes I will try to find out. Thanks for the info! Much appreciated!

My great grandmother Martha Wells (née Ingleston, later Brain) had a Fish & chip shop after 1924. I'm still finding out information but if any photos have surfaced of the road or even shops around there at that time I'd be grateful. Thank you!

So my great grandmother Martha Brain (was Ingleston then Wells ) lived at a few addresses in her life. She married Frederick Brain only 6 months after her first husband died, but didn't register his name or use his name for years at her residence Lime Grove, then when she moved to Somerville...

I was putting his middle name too, that's why it was coming back blank. It's the little mistakes sometimes ‍♀️ Thanks for your time.

Well thank you very much, when I searched I couldn't find anything. Much appreciated (again!!) Thank you!!

Thank you. Sadly I don't live in Birmingham anymore and for health reasons cannot even attempt to get there else I'd be there trawling everywhere they lived. Her Husband was Frederick Sidney Brain, died in 1961. Martha died in 1963. I can call the office and ask. Thank you.

So I've found my Great Grandmother- Martha Brain (her married name at the time of death) and she was scattered in the North West in the Garden of rest so I'm not sure where to look on the Yardley Cemetery map. Also, her husband died in Birmingham too yet there's no record of him buried or...

Great aerial photo. Much appreciated!

I was born at Marston Green Hospital in May, 1971. My parents were living at 127 Goldthorne Avenue, Sheldon, and that was my first home. I'll do a search for any photographs of the hospital.

Thank you. Much appreciated! :)
