Never trust other people's info until you check it yourself but you never know where you might find a clue that leads to a lost relative or solve a mystery. And it could be on there, who knows.

A bit of yellow...

I thought there would be a lot more disruption than there was.

There are birth registrations for 12 O'Connor/Shale children between 1929 & 1953. The birth for William Patrick appears to have been reg. as Connor Sep qtr 1908 Bham. At some later date it seems that corrections were added and his birth was handwritten in the Sep qtr 1908 register as William P...

There are no detailed maps for the early 19th century. Sequential numbering can still be seen on some roads on maps from 1950 which I usually assume means the numbers have remained the same when others were changed.. I think a major change of numbering took place in the second half of the 19th...

Seems to be a strange thing happening when you post. When clicking the 'Post reply' nothing seems to happen though after a few moments your post appears. However, your message still remains fully typed in the reply box as if it hasn't. Nearly double posted a couple of times.
