So where there appears to be 3 doorways, is the middle one access to a courtyard?

Im interested in the Morville St Eagle and Ball, particularly the history after 1861 (George Palser), Would the landlord have brewed his own beer or resold from a larger brewery? I see its an Ansells pub in the 50s or 60s photo, I presume its by then a tied house? Would Ansells have acquired...

Interesting item, what is its purpose? I can only guess it is along the lines of what we would call a credit note today whats on the other side?

I found this article about William Street : https://brummiefamilytree.blogspot.co.uk/2010/01/story-of-mary-ohagan.html, It seems incredible to have survived a further 80 years after being described as, In 1886, William Street was specifically cited by Birmingham‘s Medical Officer as having...

I have just spent the last hour trying to find 61 William St, Lozells, using various online maps, only to find it is underneath the Holte leisure centre. (I hope the link below works). This address in 1891 had my branch of the Turley family living there, all 9 of them, and my gt, grandparents...

I take it this building is the one still standing in Formans Road, now a meat warehouse? Am I correct in my thoughts?

Family history brings me to this thread, 198 Formans Road to be precise. This property was standing in 1918, the 25" OS map (1892-1905) show a couple of terraces looking out on allotments. What year was Lucas works built? What is its history...

Post Script. Just checking on maps.nls.uk, the actual site of the pub is lost under the eastbound carriageway of Ladywood Middleway. https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/side-by-side/#zoom=18&lat=52.4754&lon=-1.9223&layers=168&right=BingHyb

What a sad photo of the pub on Morville street, I take it this now the site of the Five ways medical centre? This is the pub George Palser was the landlord (1861 census) who was my gt,gt grandfather. His photo is in the Palser thread on this forum. Nice conclusion to an old photo of a nameless...

Thanks for the map extract. I am struggling to find Ladywood Road on a modern map, is it now Ladywood Parkway?

Would these be (1) Gopsal St (surviving as students union), (2) 70 Ladywood Road Thomas Palser (1912 Directory)and (3) Morville St - George Palser (1861/2Census and Directory). 2 and 3 seem to be a strange coincidence, 2 different Eagle and Ball pubs both listed with Palsers? David

Where is this information located ?, I cant see an obvious link

Another family member checked out Daisy on Ancestory, yes another Smith we had no knowledge of. So another big thank you to all of you who have looked. David

Hello to you all, Ive not looked in for a while as I have been persuing other avenues. This is fantastic news! I am really impressed, these are definately 'my Smiths' ; Harold is my grandfather, His brother Stanley was born in USA, the explanation of his baptisim two years later, the family...

Ive emailed the Royal Warwickshire museum, hopefully something may come from it. I aslo deduce that Albert was born after 31/3/01 as hes not mentioned on the census, and died on 26/9/18 before his 18th birthday, so its time to buy one of two possible birth certificates. David

I wonder if there would be any mention of Albert's funeral in local papers of the time, to verify the above supposition?

Would number 10 have been a similar property? As I've found a census entry for 1901 which has a family connection. David

Trying to tie this information to parents or address is going to be the difficult part. No uniform photos, only the private grave at Brandwood End, with the same dates as his death certificate. His older brothers were in the Royal Artillery, so I would have expected him to follow them. The...

Research in the last few days have come up with some information about Albert. As he was gassed and his death certificate makes no reference to war service, so he may well have held a Silver war badge, so a check of Albert Smith, discharge date and age came up with First name(s) Albert Last...
