" Looking for any info pics etc on 21 Cheapside Birmingham thanks in advance "........ On 1921 Census a Sarah Jane Smith live there alone...she was a Draper and from Walsall aged 55.

Thanks for that......I know they wrote the address in a funny way and cant decide if its Court 8 house No 25 or Court 25 House No 8....lol. In all the written records I have seen I cant find either. The latest I am looking at is the 1921 Census (free) where you can see whose living there and it...

At The Library of Birmingham today and found that my relatives were at 20 Tower Road in 1971 and most of the houses we gone by 1972. Well I say he was there in 71 but he died early that year but dont know when the register was dated ( forgot to look ). Anyway No 20 was not on the register......

As I say she was at Firsby Road when 16 but could have been visiting.The 32 Moseley could be red herring but amazing theres 2 people Ivy M Bayley around same area....lol

O.M.G. you have all been busy......in the photo she was Ivy May Bayley and name changed in 53 to Poole.... IF she was with her grandmother and Aunts/Uncles they lived in 1/66 Cheapside but cant say precisely when they left until they turn up at Firsby Rd in Quinton in 1939.

More recognisable for me in picture 2 but only just. I only knew this area for a few years as I attended the Mathew Boulton School of printing from 1969-72. Even then the Uni buildings dominated things on the left side of Aston St.
