Charlie, Thanks I thought it had to be the same place - not likely to be two golf clubs in same area - had some happy times there especially Christmas Day which was the only day of the year it was closed when the whole of my family gathered there - of course I was a child but can remember waking...

Interesting website - I looked there and found William Shenstone the poet - it said he had an estate near Halesowen - would the edge of it face Mucklow's Hill and now be a golf club - if it is the same golf club that I remember from the early 1950's then my aunt and uncle were the stewards for...

I really enjoyed this programme - I thought Bourneville looked lovely - it hasn't changed - I wonder what will happen to the estate now. It's very sad that Cadbury's has been sold. Sheri

Hi everyone, Mikejee posted a list a few posts back with O.G. Blackham at 16 Regents Place - could anyone tell me his full name and what he did please. He might have a connection with my Blackham family and I would like to research this. Thank you, Sheri

I'm interested in needle/pin makers as my grandmother worked as one in the early 1900's - she lived in Small Heath - would Kirby Beard be near there. Thank you. Sheri

Hi sospiri, thank you so much for the quick reply - I haven't got a 1911 suscription at present but I will be getting one soon. At least I know what instrument he played - of course a lot hotels etc had live music in those days - I don't quite understand how 'removed' works when it is a distant...

My gt.grandfather's nephew Henry Blackham b. about 1854 - in 1891 (census) he's living Rupert St with wife Mary J. and in 1901 living 154 Inkerman St - he's still a musician. Can anyone help with what he played and where. A long shot I know! Also I can't work out relation he is to me. If...

Hi Louisa, Thank you the information you sent. I will pass it on to my friend. Sheri

I have a friend who wants some info from Dublin - there is a mystery surrounding her birth in 1951 - so I thought somebody on the forum could help please. 1. Can you access BMD's in Dublin.? 2. Is there something like Kelly's where you can access an address? 3. Is there a forum like this one...

Hi Motorman- Mike, thank you so much for your reply - the tram was more uptodate than I thought - it's interesting to see what my grandfather did for a living - I thin k it must have been only a short time as he was a very sick man. Sheri

Re: james sutton Hi Claire-brum, thank you for your reply - I didn't have either of those births - I rather fancy the one at St, Martins as I have him living at New Canal St. which I think is near St.Martins?? I'm trying to confirm that he is the father of George Sutton my gt.gt.g.father...
