Thanks for the info regarding the Moss family. I am unsure whether it was Frank Moss Snr or his sons who were supposedly my Dad's second cousins. Didn't Frank Moss Snr also play for England? My nan's brother would have been playing or maybe training in the early 1900's. I would like to...

Thanks jennyann for the website info. I will check them out. I am hoping here that I have got the right church but I know that when we used to catch the 69 bus into town we went past a derelict church yard and there was a stone column monument in the graveyard and this was where I was told my...

Hi. Reading all your posts with interest. Can anyone tell me if there is a war monument in the grounds of demolished church. I have a vague memory of being told as a child that my grandads name was on a memorial in St. George's church. He didn't die in the WW1 but is on a list of names to...

My Dauncey ancestors came to Birmingham sometime between 1871 and 1881. As far as I can tell the first one to come was an Alfred Dauncey b1858 in Eastington. He married a Clara Fanny Jackson on 7.4.1890. I have found the family on the 1891 census. He was a coffin maker and lived at 4...

Hi Madge. Read your post with interest. I lived in Burbury Street at No. 280 which was next door to the undertaker Mr. Stamper. I remember that he drove a small black car which he gave me and mom a lift to hospital in when I had fallen and hurt my head. I think he sublet some rooms in his house...
