Thanks for sharing your story. I admire the strenght that people show when theymake such a major lifestyle move. When you came you would have a little idea of what might lay in store for you, the uncertainity that people in the 19th faced is something that I find hard to fathom. They did not...

Some of my English Cooper ancestors migrated to Australia in 1887 with their 8 children. I imagine that the stress, uncertainity, etc to do this would have been extreme. It makes me wonder what would lead to such a decision to leave family and the life one knew. Was it lack of work...

Thanks Mike. I take it the forums that are listed here have peopel who can accees the directories. I'll have to look at where they might be helpful.

These directories are a source of information that I have never used. I am not sure of what they do, how they work and want to look for. Could someone giive me the "Kelly's Directory 101 Course" of what they are about?

I have been given some information "abstract of the Will" from 1884 gained from the Birmingham library The wording states" it mentions freehold properties at 11 and 12 Spooner Street Vauxhall, Birmingham" Does this mean they were owned by the gentleman who died.? If they were not living...
