Am still trying to find Janet Homer (maiden name) who hailed from Porchester Street. Had brother Joe and sister Eileen. Would love to contact if poss. (my cousin) Many thanks.
As there are 3 Janet Homers (no middle initial) registered 1949/50 Bham and tracing with no family knowledge would seem unlikely, might it be easier to find Eileen, Joe or their descendants?

I saw that Eileen had passed away and I'm not sure about Joe but there's a possible for one of Eileen's sons and possibly Joe's ex-wife and one of his sons. It's only roads (no numbers) but you can have them if you want (pm).
Alternatively I can tell you their possible children (if you don't already know them) and you could try facebook etc.
Also there appears to be a few trees on Ancestry with Janet's parents on. One is titled Tilt/Gull/Lingard and one of the possible marriages for your Janet Homer is to Joseph I Tilt.
I know the thread is a few years old now..
have just came across the group and saw the thread.
Janet Homer is my mom she married Joseph Tilt in 1968 and having 8 children..she is sister to Joe and Eileen children of Rita and George.
Eileen passed a few years ago her two sons are still in the Midlands Joe is still in Birmingham so are his two sons.
I am sorry to say Janet passed earlier this month May 2026.. The family tree that has been mentioned is the one I am currently trying to trace
