    Lost actor uncle- Roger Martin

    Hi again. I am reaching back out to you as I have received the death certificate, but the occupation ir gives for Roger is a retired chef.

    How would I access this? I've been on ancestry sites and it doesn't have recent data.

    Lost actor uncle- Roger Martin

    Yep. Date of birth 9th June 1950. Family were all born in Rubery. We cannot find a death certificate for him. We have a CV from many years ago but the address is no longer valid. Thanks so much. I would love to reunite the brothers. And I know it would mean the world to Pete and my Dad Bob.

    H W Wards Lathe Makers, Selly Oak. Any ex Apprentices out there?

    Hi all. I've stumbled across this site while creating a history book for my Dad. Robert (Bob) Martin started an apprenticeship at Wards in Selly Oak aged 15. By my maths this would have been in 1959. Dad had a stroke at the end of last year and has been left very confused since. I made him a...
