Which would make Elsie a strong candidate for the blanked out entry with Rex in 1939. Probably ruling our the Dora Lilian Green/Jones birth reg. in 1926.

Could be, too many guesses at the moment. Could also be another grandchild but a cousin of Rex.

You an search births with a surname and a mother's maiden name Green/Jones for example at freeBMD but as I said before there are lots because they are common names and from the listings there is no way to know if any of them are relevant. https://www.freebmd.org.uk/ With so little to go it's...

Actually the transcript is wrong for William Taylor, he was divorced. He appears to re-marry in 1944, don't know who his first wife was.

Returning to Lilian, on the 1939 register she does indeed appear to be living with a William H Taylor at 204 Birdbrook Road but there are no details on the 1939 register to indicate what the relationship is between them. He is listed as married but there is no wife listed. There is a blanked out...

If you think she was younger then there is a Green/Jones birth reg. for a Dorothy M, Jun qtr 1936 Bham. Though if Harry did a runner when Rex was born it seems unlikely.

You can buy her birth certificate, though if she is not the daughter of Harry & Lilian you'll have wasted your money. Or you could wait for the entry on the 1939 register to be 'unblanked' though even if we assume that the entry is a sibling it could be as long as 8 years. To buy the...

It's virtually impossible to tell if any of the other Green/Jones births registrations in Bham around the same time are related. The names are just too common. On the 1939 register Rex is listed with his nan and grandad (and uncle). Tantalisingly there is a blanked out entry which could be...

There's one of the same scale about 10 years earlier (1901) but Gordon Road is exactly the same. There is also one of a less detailed scale from the 1880s but on that there are no houses on Gordon St.

An old thread but some great photos. Early wedding photos are quite rare so I guess quite expensive. When did they become common? My maternal grandad's family were reasonably well off I think and I always thought there could have been wedding photos at his and my nan's wedding. As far as I know...

Here you go...

If it's of interest to you then I can't see it doing any harm if you want to look into it further. Trying to return it may depend on what, if anything, you can discover.

£175 a house! I'll have 2 please.

I have my tree private and it doesn't stop your ancestors appearing in other people's searches (though you can tick a box to prevent it on Ancestry). If anyone what's more info they can contact me and I'll help if there's a connection (help is not always reciprocal sadly) but it stops people...

With old newspapers the more dishonest (criminally) your ancestor was the more likely they are to appear in them. Wills and probate records are also good but your ancestors probably need to have a certain level of wealth. And old maps, though not definite you can find schools closest to where...

Also listed as such on findmypast.

I think you have all of them. If you go to google maps and type in B8 it gives an outline of the whole area. There used to be a sign on the Alum Rock Road after the Rock indicating where Saltley ended and Alum Rock began. I don't think it's there any more but it always surprised me that the...

There are a couple of deaths reg. in Ashton under Lyne for a Samuel Turner of about the right age - Sep 1929 & Jun 1936 - and we know he was there in 1911. There's also a death for an Elizabeth Turner of about the right age - Dec 1936 - as well as one in Blackpool - Jun 1939. Impossible to...

With the Fylde death reg. ruled out it's difficult to say where and when Samuel died. He doesn't seem to be on the 1939 register, so sometime between 1921 and 1939. It's possible his mom, Jane, died in 1913 and was buried at Witton. There's an entry on findagrave but I'm dubious that that...

Thanks Lyn.
