Hi everyone; In November 2010 I put a Post into the Forum named Harborne showing these pictures which were the premises of my ancestors. The more modern picture shows the buildings altered and made into offices. On post 394 this building is to be seen just past Tonks garage. Does...

Hi everyone; Has anyone any memories of the caretakers ( the Hughes family) at St Peter's School, Harborne in the late 1940's and 1950's. My brother remembers playing with Betty Hughes and her brother and I remember practising my tennis against the wall of a building in the playground when...

Again many thanks Mike for your help. I definitely need to make a visit to Birmingham then. I will get it sorted. KINS

Before 1912 and after 1955 for several members of the family tree. Thanks for replying anyway.

I thought not, but thanks. Will have to take a visit to Birmingham one of these days as I now live in the South West.

Hi fellow members Could anyone please confirm or otherwise that these registers are only available online from 1912 to 1955 (ie on Midlands Historical Data) or is there anywhere else I can find info. Many thanks KINS

Hi Steve; As yet I have no reason to think there is any connection for my tree for Charles Henry Latham but thanks for your help anyway. Cheers - KINS

Hi Steve It is so good of you to spend time trying to help and I am sorry that the result for Nellie was negative. The photo details I think are for LARKHAM as opposed to Latham though the name of Emily was Nellie's mother's name but unfortunately don't feel there is a connection. Thanks...

Hello ladylinda Thanks for that information; I haven't yet got access for the 1911 census with Ancestry. I gathered that Emily was single and lived in the Sparkhill,Sparkbrook or |Balsall Heath area. I have clicked on the wrong "thing" tonight and may have unsubscribed from this thread but I...

Hi Steve Many thanks for your reply and your offer to help if you have enough time. The baptism I am looking for at All Saint's Church, Kings Heath is for a Nellie Latham born 18 January 1912 to Emily at 1 Lode Lane, Warks. Her sister and brother born August, 1905 and October,1907...

Would be pleased to know how to go about finding records of baptisms for the years 1905 -1912 at All Saints Church, Kings Heath:) THANKS - KINS

Many thanks for the info Louisa. I will try to contact the Archdiocese Archives and hopefully my brother will be able to visit at some time as he lives near Birmingham city. Again thanks and a good 2011 to you. KINS

Fellow researchers - I am hitting a brick wall regarding finding further info about my great grandparents as regards any parish registers as they were Catholic. They were born around 1834. I do not live in Birmingham now so I am finding it even more difficult to get info. Should I get in...

Many thanks Mike and BordesleyExile for your help. It would be good to know when the electoral rolls began and to what year they are available to view online? I can then put in a request for help from other members for my family records but I will also contact the site you mentioned. Many...

Hello fellow members - I have not lived in Birmingham for almost fifty years now and I am presuming that I am unable to get the electoral rolls for any of my family online. My family all lived in the Birmingham area- in the late 19th century and early 20th century but other than finding some...

I have found the pictures of my ancestors houses at St Margarets, 66 High Street and St Winifreds, 68 High Street, Harborne . It appears that at least the lower part of the High Street was renumbered at some stage. Around 1892 my ancestors were living at nos 46 and 48 High Street and were...

Was the garage the Tonks Garage at the bottom end of the High Street, opposite side to Scarf, the grocers. Haven't lived in Harborne for almost fifty years so I may be getting confused ? My great grandparents and my grandparents lived alongside each other at one time at nos 66 and 68 High...

The sweetshop you refer to was owned by the Tennant family and it was a very busy place; also the sweet shop opposite the swimming baths was I think called Baughan's. There was another one half way down the High Street owned by Miss Skinner and my Dad used to take me there every Sat morning...
