    Wheeler Baker tracing family members 1800s/1900s

    Hi, Thanks for the quick response. I could only find L Wheeler as a single female passenger listed on the 1913 date. I wondered if she decided that Birmingham, UK had nothing for her and decided to try NSW.

    Wheeler Baker tracing family members 1800s/1900s

    Hi all, It's been a long time since I posted anything related to this ongoing search. Still been checking, but still not getting any real leads. I had hoped to find something on the 1921 census, but this was a blank. Even thought that after a potential split with the husband in 1911 / 1912...

    Rowton House

    These are fantastic, thank you for sharing. I would love to know what capacity my family were at Rowton House. I believe that he was a worker there, but have not been able to find any records.

    Salford House Erdington Birmingham

    I wonder if that is why the current island (roundabout) under the M6 (Spaghetti Junction) is called Salford Circus.

    Hi, yes I did get a copy of the 1935 certificate. Unfortunately this was for a different person Lillie Wheeler and Joseph Wheeler

    I also obtained a copy of a death cert for Lily Wheeler in 1952 and this shows her as the wife of Charles Longford Wheeler age 74 - so this would match to the DOB. The informant is stated as W E Davis, Son in Law, but I have no one with that name.

    No, I haven’t got a birth certificate for Lily. This information came from my uncle, so a trusted source. However I was planning to recap my sources, when I find time. at one point I thought that Charles’ wife was one and the person. But although the date of birth is similar there is no match

    Not checked for any travel as I don't think they had the financial means

    Hi all, I have been given a link to the 1930 census which shows the Rising Sun, Talbot Street. https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imagevie...at=35&fh=0&h=2719700&recoff=&ml_rpos=1&hovR=1 The occupants are listed as Fred Madeley, Fanny Madeley, and Lily Wheeler.

    Wheeler Baker tracing family members 1800s/1900s

    This is a list of what I have checked so far, plus I have added this query to the Family Tree Forum (FTF) I have requested a number of different copies of death certs, in the vain hope of getting a 'hit', but so far no luck. These are the ones I have tried; 1913 - Qtr M - Reading - 02c - 435...

    Wheeler Baker tracing family members 1800s/1900s

    Okay, I'm going to take a shot at resurrecting this query as I am still no further forward in finding out what happened to Lily. I have paid for a number of potential death certificates, but they have all come back with a different spouse, except one (copy attached). Not sure how to...

    Royal George Hotel. Tower Road

    I have just found a link (http://www.astonbrook-through-astonmanor.co.uk/Pubs.html ) that shows a Royal George but at Park Road. A GOOGLE search also shows a Royal George Hotel ( https://www.hotelroyalgeorge.co/en-GB/contact-us ) at Garrison Lane. Not sure if these are red herrings!
