That's brilliant thanks my aunty rose and uncle percy :)

Did it have a large protective piece around the hand like the old fashioned cutlass

Ok so you think they were likely employed by a brewery rather than supplying malt to a brewery? I have seen one census entry where someone is described as a journeyman malster is that likely to be i thats how I see it spelt in censuses and on certificates but I agree maltster would seem the...

My great grandparents Harry and Ada Parlett lived at 7 Ford Street and my grandad was born there

I saw the pub one but couldn't see any shops in the great Hampton row pic ... is there another pic?

Don't know how we would have got it otherwise as none of us have ever been to South Africa and it's always been in the family ... re Wilkinson I thought they made razors !!!! Lol

Sorry no the pub St. George's vaults

It seems that it was in the St. George's place area but in great Hampton row ... my aunt remembers it being close to the end of unett street near St. George's school which they attended in the 1940s. So probably wasn't up and running until the 1930s.

Ok so you think they were likely employed by a brewery rather than supplying malt to a brewery? I have seen one census entry where someone is described as a journeyman malster is that likely to be independent or just experienced do you think ?

My nan's sister Rose Lilian Phillips (nee Parlett) was soprano on this evening supported by her brother Fred on piano (a WW1 veteran who spent a night injured on the somme and lost a leg as a result) plus a few others beside. I wonder if anyone is related to any of the "turns" appearing that...

One of my grandad's uncles Robert Jones fought in the Boer War and brought back with him a sword that has the number F2 82 8H19 inscribed on it. I have not been able to find his war record as there are simply too many Robert or R Jones listed on ancestry but wondered if this inscription might...

At least two generations of my Jones lineage were malsters. Thomas born in Tipton c1833 is regularly described as such in censuses and marriage / birth certificates that or a labourer to a malster. He moved to Hockley in the late 1860s. His father William was also a malster born around 1800...

She was in the end reunited with her family as she is buried with Thomas and Louisa Jones in Witton cemetery .. I did try to find it once but searched for an hour and couldn't :(

A very sad discovery in my family history was the treatment of Betsy Jones, sister of my great grandad Frank Jones. She was deemed to be a "congenital idiot" and placed in the Winson Green mental hospital in 1878, then the new Rubery Hill Asylum in 1882. On becoming an inmate her records state...

Both Cain and Abel are living in surrounding streets Bridge Street West and New John Street in 1911 - the Jones family headed by Thomas Jones had lived at 106 Farm Street but the father is now living with his son and wife. Louisa the wife of Thomas died in 1908 and she was listed as a milk shop...

Yes Annie Rebecca Feakes married William Cain Jones who was the milk dealer - on the marriage cert William is her father and an ornamator

Yep thats it 106 Farm Street was where they lived. Jones family, Cain and Abel ran the business the former married in 1908 and was listed as a milk dealer, mother Emma Louisa worked in the shop. Is Mrs Elizabeth Mallin who they would have rented the house from?

It could have been earlier they moved to Nechells at some point too. Her maiden name was Jones and she was 1st married to Arthur Johnson who died in the 20s then to Percival Leonard Phillips. We think it was situated opposite the Vaults pub.

brilliant thank you .. I hadn't. my uncle Trev has recently died and I had taken over the family history research from him about 10 years ago, he would have been so pleased to see these :(
