Dave M. Are you saying that the Good Hope Cemetery is on Rectory Road? Is this in Erdington? Thanks.

Thank you jennyann for all your efforts. Are those two the only cemetries in the Erdington parish area that would have carried out burials in those days? If you know of more it would be a great help as I am in Dorset and not up to date with local graveyards. Graham.

Thank you Wendy and Stitcher. We went to Witton Cem last week to try and find them. Sadly the lady at the office could not locate them in her records and suggested that at that time, Holly lane being in the Erdington area they may have been buried at an Erdington Churchyard of which there are...

Re: Noel hartill lickeys Emax. I have a bunch of Hartills going back to the mid 1850's originating around Dudley and Tipton. My Grandma born 1896 is the latest I have, but around the same time as Noel.

Thanks Mike. I've found some Wards there in 1861 and before. It was locating the position of the place I had trouble with. In another record it's called sots hole. The sqirley copper plate doesn't help. Thanks again. G

I dont remember the newsagents either but then I only would have walked passed it on the way to Moseley School from the top end of Runnymead RD.

Suzanne. Thank you for all your efforts with this family its all been a great help. I was aware of this family both 1901 and 1911, however as you note there ig no male G.M. associated with it, so can't be certain it's the right one. If you have any ideas where to look next I would be grateful...

Certainly the right family, perhaps the brothers were born later. As you say. G.

No sorry, they are Davids brothers. Lilwens brother is G Melvyn Lewis. Getting confuduld now! gramha lol

George and william, years of birth unknown.

Have found him now I'm in the right decade!! Both Davids and Lilwens deaths are still evading me, as are her brothers details. Graham

Suzanne. Which search site are you using to find these details please. I use Ancestry but seem to miss the information. Graham,

This could be a different family. David (as far as we Know) only had two brothers George and William, not known whether older or younger. Ffestiniog is a long way from Bridgend so don't know when he moved down. Over to you superstar. Graham
