I have this occupation added to a couple of my ancestors occupations. Can anyone confirm please what this terms means? Am I correct in thinking they carried out their occupation on the move so to speak. Or am I having another blond moment!? Won't be the first........ lol

Has anyone got any information at all about this church? My great grandparents were married there on 25th December 1891 and I would love to know where it was/is and what is looks like. Another question......... was it usual to get married on Christmas Day?

I have just taken delivery of a new printer and scanner. Once I have got it up and running, I will try and scan an image for you. Hopefully it will be fairly easy to set up.

That is the right family. Thankyou. One daughter is missing though - perhaps she is on the next page. Selina Heath was born in 1899.

My Great Grandfather, George Heath, married Mary Ann Trotman on 25th December 1891. I cannot make out her address clearly on the copy of their wedding certificate. It looks like 34 Tuge Street. Can anyone offer any information at all on the correct name for this street and its location etc...

Could anyone tell me where this church was/is? Any information would be appreciated. My g grandparents married there in 1890. They were Alfred Dauncey and Clara Jackson. They were both living in Great Colmore Street at the time. Thank you.

You are right Astonian. My parents used to bank at the Municipal Bank on Villa Road, Handsworth, which later became the TSB.

I have just seen a photograph of this building on Keith Berry's website. One of the comments mentions a company called Pelican Rainware. Is this the reason for there being a Pelican on the top of the building?

Have recently come across this picture of a pub called The Florin. I think it must have been one of my brother's regular watering holes. Has anyone any idea where it is?

Found this picture - thought it might be of interest. Not sure but I may have seen this posted elsewhere.

Thank you all for your responses. Doesn't the building look grand in the up to date photo. Its still got me wondering though why it has a Pelican on the top of it!

I have memories as a child either driving down Gt. Hampton Street or possibly being on a bus, straining to see the Pelican on the top of a building there. Does anyone know what this building was used for? Is it still in existence?

There used to be a shop which was I think I remember correctly next door to the hairdressers, that my Aunt owned (sold childrens clothes and wool). I remember playing in the back garden there and eating gooseberries from the bushes that used to grow there. Had my hair cut at the hairdressers...

Thanks for posting these pictures of what was once beautiful buildings. My first job was in Naden Road and I occasionally walked up Soho Hill. As has been said though when you are young you never notice these sorts of things. I can only hope that they are preserved for future generations to...

What great photos Lyn. Thank you so much for posting them. It has certainly brought back lots of memories. It made me smile when you said you never really knew that the church and school were there, yet lived close by. I never ventured into Villa Street and certainly didn't know the Vine...

Re: William and Mary Mason thank you for the information Ann. Will give serious thought to joining - just didn't want for it to end up costing me a fortune. is it easy to cancel your subscription? I have used their pay per view facility in the past.

Here are a couple of photos I found recently of Lucas's. Don't know what year they were taken.

Re: William and Mary Mason Ann, thanks for the information. I will certainly do that. I will let you know how I get on. By the way, which website are you using for your research. Is it Ancestry? Before I subscribe I would like to know that it is the right site as I would love to have...
