Hi guys, I’ve only had a Quick Look at the potters hill thread on my phone. Great picture of number 17 and map. Many thanks all

Much appreciated Pedrocut,

Just spotted the small no9 in the next column.

Looking closely at the census it says he was living at number 75? He was in fact at number 9.

Thank you Lyn . I have a. Copy of his will and am also interested in his daughter Selina who died quite young.Really appreciate the census.

Hi Brummy lad and pedrocut, so Thomas should show up on the 1871 census. Have either of you got access to that please?

Thank you Brummy lad for the pics. I’ve just been to the central library to see if there might be any photos and came away empty handed.

Hi Pedrocut, yes I have more info. Thomas was born 1810 and died 1874 where he died in Whithead rd Aston. He was married to Ann Yardley and had sons Thomas Frederick and Albert+ more…. He and his family are buried at St. Mary’s Handsworth.

Hi all, I am researching Thomas Derrington who lived at no. 9 Whitehead Road in 1870's. I'm hoping to find a photograph of the property which I think has now been pulled down. Also any photographs of Thomas Derrington & his wife Ann Yardley 1860's/70's

Hi gr1226. Unfortunately I don't remember him as such as I was a school leaver and joined Barlows as a Typewriter mechanic but do remember Frank and Ron Barlow well.

This building was pulled down and the church has combined into Beacon Church at the Collingwood Drive terminus.

Haha quite a family, glad I don’t follow suite.

I am going with it, especially with the record showing Reuben and other siblings all match.

PJm, can you send me the full registration of the above please. many thanks
