Yesterday, after 3 years of searching I finally found the final resting place of my great, great grandparents, Thomas and Susan Woodyatt. Thomas died 1916 and Susan in 1935. they are buried in the same plot in Yardley in a private grave Susan must have purchased for Thomas and herself when...

Rick If most of the records you need to investigate for the moment are for parishes in what is now termed Birmingham then most of the records or copies of the records be that film or other wise are probably in Birmingham Central Library. Try this link to find out more...

Having caught one more than once I nolonger trust LDS Family Search, indeed I trust nobody's research but my own so I double check everything I read on the net! For me, nothing beats visiting the record office that holds the parish records for the parish you are researching and either looking...

Oh My G..... how scary is that! Fortunately the info on me mainly relates to the dark side of my life as a Morris Dancer! However, I pity my namesake who is a pharmacist. Not only does she often get my work emails (and has been doing for years!) info on her crops up frequently on 123people. Helen

Hmmmmm but Bishop Street is more Deritend or Digbeth than Acocks Green. Do you think they would have gone that far? And would they have buried Susan in the same grave as Thomas, seems a shame to part them in death.

No I haven't tried Witton yet 'cos I wanted to get an idea first as to which cemetery was the most likely in relation to where they were living at the time. I am hoping that Thomas and susan were buried in the same grave and with a bit of luck their daughter Elsie may will be in the same plot...

Thanks for that. The Thomas you have found was the eldest son of Thomas and Susan Woodyatt. Susan's husband Thomas definately died in 1916...I've seen the will and probate. What I need is a lead as to where Susan and her husband were buried. If Susan's son Thomas had her buried near his home...

I am coming up to Brum at the beginning of November and as it will be All Souls Day I thought it would be only fitting to visit some of my ancestors graves. I visit ancestors graves in Studley a couple of times a year (see some of my posts elsewhere on this site) and try to tend them as best I...

Sorry for the delay in replying, we have been away for a few days. I got all the information from ancestry.co.uk. listed under military records are the Medal Roll cards and WW1 service records etc. I think you probably need a subscription to access these particular records or you can search...

Dear Brian I sincerely hope your wrong too. Meanwhile, daughters, sons, parents, aunts and uncles, whole families are going to all end up on the dole if Cadbury's get their way. My daughter's best friend is not only going to loose her job when the Keynsham factory closes every member of her...

I don't think you will find that the workers at the Cadbury's Keynsham factory are so please that the Kraft offer has been rejected! Cadbury's are about to shut this factory down, make the 500 staff redundant and move the production to Poland!! Some entire extended families will all be on the...

Re: Cadbury's Bournville Given that Cadbury's have been trying to shut down it's UK factories (ie the factory Cadbury took over from Fry's in Keynsham) and move their production of some of the products made in Keynsham to Poland and then, after making 500 people working at the Keynsham site...

Arthur Madden of the Duke of Cambridge's Own that I have found on Ancestry appears to have been your man trouble is Ancestry is proving very slow tonight!! Did he have three children Ivy born 13/4/12, Florence Elsie b 23/7/13 and I think it says Arthur Harry 25/12/? If this is your man...

PS I seem to remember seeing on an old map of brum that there was a tram shed quite near the address you mention. I'll see if I can find the map Helen

The area you lived in didn't always dictate which regiment you ended up in during WW1 (or 2 for that matter) While it is possible that your Arthur Madden joined a Pals regiment he may also have been in a none local regiment. For example, on Ancestry they are some records of an Arthur Madden...

It is sometime now since I came to terms with the fact that I am the only one in my family interested in our family's history. I have tried everything to encourage my siblings, parents and our wider extended family to participate in the discoveries I have made but to very little success. It is...

I have sent you a private email but to add to it......I understand that Kenneth David Grist did remarry but I am not sure when. I think my husband knows. I'll ask him tonight. Very best wishes Helen

Somebody on this site suggested 192.com (it might of been Bren) you have to pay a small fee but thats how I found the adress of an old college friend I hadn't seen for 35 years. She had married but somebody (i think it was Bren) found her marriage on one of the sites, I knew the the date she...

Intriguing...according to free BMD Samual Frederick Hicken born Gloucestershire 1857 Eliza died 1861 Gloucs Charles born 1862 Gloucs Frederick born 1863 Gloucs Frederick died 1863 Gloucs Edward born 1864 Gloucs Frederick born 1866 Gloucs of course not all the above might be yours but I...

Just another thought, maybe Mr Hichen died between the 1861 census and the birth of Charles in 1862? H
