bingly hall custom bike show 1970s . i still have the cup and the bike

old club

this maybe what happened how can i find this information please

there is a listed marion baxter with a associate Ross baxter in the US (i did not know them to have got married) but she may have taken the name when she went , she would be long passed now but ross may still be alive .

maybe marion name was combellack ? i only ever knew it as his shop , i was born in 1961

it had a flat above which was let to marion and ross , baxter left his wife and moved in above the shop which was his shoe shop with marion , just interested to find more history , marion would be passed but Ross may still be alive in the USA

thank you i think thats it because i remember it was on the corner

no , i do remember she had a son Ross and was told they both moved to america after horace died , he was by then living on the fold in kings norton and had changed his name to "Max Baxter" god knows why , his grave says Horace Baxter , nans son bought the house in selly oak off the council ...

Evelyn was my nan , my moms name was beryle baxter untill she wed dad , nation

correct , i think he had the shop from the 60s maybe even the 50s , he left nan in the 70s , she still lived in bot road untill see passed .

"we were also looking for a Horace Baxter shoe shop on the opposite corner to the Sun Inn on Bristol Street" found in a search

he was in the 70s , he later moved to above the shoe shop (i went there once) he lived there with Maralyn and her son Ross , they both moved to the USA after his death , just trying to find some history on my mothers side of the family , he is buried in kings norton church cemetery , the 1939...

no bottetourt road was where he lived , thankyou
