Here's another photo I have found of my mom, it is with her dad Charles Birbeck who was born 1898. Mom was born in 1924. There is another of her in her snazzy swimming costume!

I've just googled St. Martins Worcester and it seems that this was a catholic church. Does anyone know if there is another St. Martins? I think this family was based Kings Norton way - does that come under Worcester?

Thank you Alberta. Vobe - what an unusual name. Thank you - gives another line of enquiry for my family tree. Jules

Hi Shera Thank you for looking. Sorry didn't realise it was Worcester. St. Martin's just meant Birmingham to me. Jules

Charles Birbeck b1790 married a Mary Ann in 1814. I would love to know his parents, her surname if at all possible. Many thanks.

Have just found out one of my ancestors were married here in 1869. Nice to have a picture. Thanks.

Hi all. I came across a book entitled The Story of 70 Momentus Years which must have been published around 1936. It is a photographic record of The Life and Times of King George V 1865 - 1936. I wasn't sure if the pictures would be of interest to anyone but thought I would post this page and see...

Having spoken to someone who has access to the deeds for 280 Burbury Street - I am told that the property dates back to approx 1870's.

Hi Lyn, have just posted on the Wills Street site and then came across this thread with a picture of the Waterloo pub. Apparently there are plans in hand to demolish the Waterloo and the two derelict houses next to it to build new houses. There is also mention on this thread of the Salvation...

I have passed this building quite a few times recently and had no idea you could book a visit. Thanks for the info I'm sure I will be visiting in the near future.

Here are a couple of my mom and dad

Hi. Found this picture of Mary A Trotman and thought it may be nice to post it so you can see who all this information that has been gathered is about.

Hi Wendy, I was in Burbury Street the other day, and as I passed your gt grandfathers shop/bakery I remembered I had my camera with me. I quickly took this snap for you.

Hi been reading all your posts with interest and a smile on my face. My dad met my mom on Handsworth Park boating lake in 1939. He was in one type of boat and apparently she was in a larger one. He first words to her were "thats a big boat for a little girl". they got chatting and he walked...

Mrs Wybrant - how could I forget her. Her daughter attended the same school as my cousin - can't remember - yes I can - Astwell. It was a private school (I think) on Hamstead Road, Handsworth. I don't recall a Mrs. Rose but it was an awful long time ago now!!

Mr. Hodgkinson used to teach us songs - when I'm 64 by the Beatles seems to stick in my memory. He wasn't very tall either I seem to remember. I'd forgotton all about Mr. Williams - I remember him quite well actually. Welsh guy - well with a name like Williams! Do you remember a Mrs Fretsome...

Wow! I never knew his christian name. I have very fond memories of him and my time at Anglesey Street School.

You must have been there after the school split into the two buildings with the Junior children moving to the new school on Nursery Road. I was only at the new school for one year before moving up to Holte. I think Mrs Carter may have been the Miss Slater who I remember. I remember Mr. Powell...

Hi curious. I was at this school in the 70's and also the nursery. Do you remember any of the teachers? Mr. Bellfield was head when I was there. I used to live in Burbury Street. Jules 65
