Thanks a lot Viv. Regards Nigel

Thanks Carolina. I have seen this photo, but it is probably too early. Our old shop had Wilkinsons on the left and some shops to the right (Cross was one of them ). This is the nearest I got : our shop was where the shop on the right is now. This was taken about ten years after we left Regards...

Hello, All Does anyone have a picture of Hulse's shop in Villa Road, Handsworth ( No. 129)? It was to the right of Wilkinsons, and a couple of shops to the left of the Villa Cross Picture House. Thanks a lot Nigel

Hello, all How do I go about obtaining a copy of the birth certificate for my GGGGfather, James Hulse? From what I can gather, he was born in 1786, and died in Walsall in 1849. One of his sons (my GGGfather ) , Thomas Henry Hulse, was born a British Subject in Paris c1834, and married in West...

Hello Barrie Yes, that looks like him. Many thanks for the info Regards Nigel

Can anyone please tell me where I can find information on births, before 1800? My GGGGF ( James Hulse ) was born in 1786, but I don't find any info on him apart from who his wife was (Elizabeth) and where he was married (Walsall). I'm trying to find out who his parents were? Thanks a lot Nigel

Thanks, Dek. Will definately have a look. Thanks for the tip Nigel

Hi, Ian. Really great to see what Villa Road used to look like. Aplogies if I have asked before, but do you have any picture of the Villa Cross Picture house and the shops to the Villa road side of it (to its left)? Or do you know where I might obtain one? Thanks a lot Nigel

Thanks a lot, Graham. I will have a go Regards Nige

Hi, Suzanne. Alfred could well be his brother. In 1851, Thomas would have been 17 and Alfred 6. Many,many thanks ; this really helps. I don't have the 1851 and the 1911 census form that I have, presumably the individual's one, is signed by Thomas and only lists himself, his wife Emma and...

Hi, Suzanne. Thanks for having a look. Nigel

Hi, Suzanne Thanks for the reply. The name is Thomas Henry Hulse, son of James Hulse (who died in Wallsall in 1849). However, would he be classified as an Alien if a british Subject? Also, I made a mistake with the date of his birth: it was 1837 not 1847 Regards Nigel

I'm sorry, I'm afraid not

My Great Great Grandfather (born 1847), then resident of Wallsall, is listed in the 1871 census as having been born in France. Can anyone tell me how to find out where in France he was born? Thanks a lot Nigel
