Thanks so much.

What does the marriage cert list Charles' and Ada's occupations as?

Many thanks everyone that's great

Does anyone have any info on a Charles Thompson and Ada Orton who were married in Birmingham in 1894, especially their parents' names? Thanks in advance.

Might anyone know when the KHC roundabout was built? Chat GPT suggests it might have been around 1971 about the time the ring road was finished, also wondering if anyone might know why or when the 2 pubs, Oscar's restaurant and the other buildings were demolished as the spaces they once occupied...

Yes...... Oscar was French but I don't know if he'd have used that fact as any kind of selling point back in those days.

I certainly have done....... thank you both so very much

So the Bull's Head and the Cemetery Tavern were pretty close to each other......... might there be an approximate date for the pics in post 10 of the former looking rather sorry for itself?

Fabulous Lyn thanks so much, my Missus and Ma-In-Law will be delighted!

Yes his name was Oscar Erard, he is at number 51 Key Hill right by the cemetery and pub in 1905 Kelly's Directory, still there on the 1911 census but in the 1915 directory he'd moved his cafe up to 409 Lodge Road just the other side of Icknield Street near to HV Smith Bakers which is still...

Thanks Lyn....... the photo you mentioned above- is it the one on the 2nd post with George's Cafe in the foreground?

Hi Steve my wife's gt gt grandfather had a cafe at number 51 at least between 1905 and 1911, Erards....... I'm wondering if it was the same building or if they were renumbered at any point?
