Re: Hillstone school Hi I'm a bit late in replying to this post - only just seen it (5 years too late)!!!! My sister and I also walked from Hall Hays Road, Shard End to both Hillstone and Longmeadow. I left Longmeadow in 1965.

Hello again I'm back looking at this problem. Can anyone advise where I can find Charles Henry Eagles Nos. 2242 and 200382 Royal Warks Service Record? I have looked through all the Eagles on Ancestry his brother is there but there are no records for him. The only thing I can find on ancestry...

My Mum was at the Austin working on the planes which is where she met my Dad before he joined up - she tells me she was standing up on the wing at the time when he 'wolf whistled' her!

No its not important at all - i need to have some patience, no-ones going anywhere are they!

Thanks for the advice, I think I might have to pay for the certificates in the first instance.

I understand, but I just want to confirm 3 of my relatives had the same mother without buying 3 certificates, can I just check the records myself in the library without buying the certificates?

This is a daft question but bear with me. I need to confirm the Mother of 3 people on my family tree. I really don't want to buy 3 certificates plus a £1 each for the search plus postage would add up and its just the information I need. I have two options I think, coming down to Birmingham...

Thank you for narrowing it down you've all been brilliant.

Oh sorry, I thought it was a photo of the street. I'm looking for 116 and 117 1940-1950

I know this post is a few years old but should I be able to click on the "Attached Thumbnails" to open? I can't open any on the site - is it my settings?

thanks I'll try ancestry first instance.

There seems to be loads of Eagles around the Aston area during 1800/1900's. My grandad lived in the Aston area all his life and after he married they lived in Alma Street. They also had two shops at 116 and 117 Coleshill Street up to early 1950's Pie Shop and Tobacconists.

Sorry - he didn't die in the war. He joined at 17 almost 18 he wasn't married. He lived in Berners Street, Lozells at the time he joined. I was really interested in where he went if you have any info - but i quite understand if its not possible. Many thanks for your time.

Thank you so much Journeyman. I found his SWB Rolls on Ancestry as you suggested, I then found on the internet a list of causes of discharge in the "King's Regulations 1912". All it said under XVi was "no longer physically fit for war service" which I suppose could mean anything. I've put a...

Here is a photo of my grandad during WWI together with his Army Medal Rolls. From the information on the certificate can anyone help with which battles he was involved in? I believe he was injured twice and returned thats why he has 2 numbers, but don't know much else. Hope someone can throw...
