Just an update. I visited Sherborne Street in August and the area from where the Gas offices were, [this faced the Birmingham Guild] up to Grosvenor Street West is still a waste ground, with the tree still standing. The pub 'The White Swan' in Grosvener Street was being altered inside, but...

I was born at 7 Sherborne Street as were 3 generations of us. I was in Sherborne street about 3/4 years ago, it has changed completly except that where our house stood and right up to Grosvenor Street west is a wasteland. There was a tree standing where our front door would have been. Does...

Hi Bewdley, I can see you have worked hard on this. In the 1911 census William states his birth place as Balsall Heath!!!! Every other time just Birmingham, so why can't I find his birth cert? I have found the births of all his siblings, so cannot imagine that his parents did not register him...

That could be Williams brother Thomas b 1848, although none of the children appear to have midle names. I did not find them in Tennent Street until 1871. I have not been able to find baptisms for any of the children, can I ask where you found this entry?

Thank you. That is a lot of very interesting information. That's a nice thought that there could be a tenuous link in our families history. I will get to the bottom of g.grandfather William yet!!!

Thank you for all that information it is very interesting to learn about the neighbourhood, from someone who remembers it so well. Jean

Thank you, You have been busy. I will do as you suggest and see what this comes up with. Jean

Thank you, I will try Worcester as well. Jean

Thank you, yes their other daughter was in Gloucester with grandparents. So a birth in Kings Norton would be regitered in Birmingham? Jean

I think william is the only name he has - Re his marriage & death certs. It's been a 3 year desperate chase I would love to finish. Jean

Thank you, this is the family I am following. My thought was he got lost in the move :)

Hi to all, this is what I have on wiliam some of which is confirmed with certs. I think it may be the right family but cannot be certain without his birth cert. Any help will be appreciated. Working backwards 1915 died age 63 7 sherborne street 1911 WILLIAM 59 SARAH JANE 52 [COULTHARD}...

Thanks for replying. I really don't know which way to turn now.

Would Handsworth or West Bromwich not come under Birmingham for cets? Jean

Hi, I have purchased 4 birth certs for william green b 1852 - all wrong. His father was Thomas [shoemaker] mother I believe to be hannah pearce. All censuses states william born birmingham, but birmingham registry office can find no record for him with these parents. What area is covered by...

Thank you for contacting me, sorry to say the Green's you mention are not my Greens. Good luck with your research.

It's lovely to see both pics - but I prefer the first as the street looked as if it had a heart back them :)

That's great. Thank you.
