Best I can tell, she told a number of fibs when she married! But yes,that’s her.

Looking at some members of my family tree who settled in Birmingham in 1901 from rural Oxfordshire, I can see that a significant number of the households in the surrounding properties on Hurst Street seemed to be Russian, yet so far I haven't been able to fund a lot of good resources to...

my apologies to you both, it has taken me an unreasonable amount of time to come back to thank you! I have continued to scour various resources but am still yet to find either of them, not even an obituary! Pedrocut you kindly asked for their names, in case you or anyone happens to have a few...

I am working on the life of an ancestor who lived mainly in the South West of England and had quite a chequered past, I have found several newspaper accounts of court convictions and appearances. However she moved to Birmingham around 1901 and lived there fore three decades and I haven't found...

How wonderful, that has certainly brought it to life for me

Sincere thanks again, this is wonderful information and will really help me on the next steps. Have a lovely weekend.

Thank you so much again, this site is such a fantastic resource. Very grateful for your input.

Thank you, this makes a huge difference to my research, the possibility of two family members being in the same area unbeknownst to each other now seems implausible which puts a very different spin on things. Forgive my ignorance of the geography of the area (have been to Birmingham only once...
