Morning. You were from the posh end then Patsy?

I can see why you are an angel, and really please don't put yourself to too much trouble. I have her marriage certificate, and she married in Edgbaston Parish in 1840 so was a Robinson by then, and they are both said to have lived in Balsall Heath. she was born 3/02/1818 which was the right age...

Thanks again Chris. Have found that marriage, but to find the connection, I need to find out who Ann Maries parents were. or Thomas Worts for that matter. I might be clutching at straws. I just want to prove that the death certificate I have, is for my relative. She was Elizabeth Robinson nee...

Is this school on the Hob Moor Road near to the Yew Tree Pub? If so, we reckon that my husband David Harvey was in the back row fourth from the right. He had a mass of red hair and came from Flavells Lane. He would have been 8 in 1952 Lynda

Cheeky pair. Who rattled their cages? I love my ole' rellies. Worts an all. Lynda

Thanks for help given yous guys. Will have another look It's trying to tie them in with other family that I know about. Otherwise I have wasted another £7.00. Thanks again Lynda

I received a Death certificate the other day for an Elizabeth Robinson who died in 1893 in Ravenhurst street Almhouses. I feel sure this is my family, except that the informant was an A.M.Wort, saaid to be a neice. I haven't come across that name before. I found a Ann Marie and Thomas in the...

I feel a little bit like Max Boyce, because I can say I know to all that has been said, because I was there. I don't know whether I am getting old, but although I was about 11 in 1957, I can't remember much about it now, except that a good time was had by all Lynda x

Thanks Cromwell Have a modern Birmingham Street Atlas and ofcourse it doesn't show it. Can see just where it was now. Thanks again Lynda

Anyone know where Saltley Street was? According to the 1841 census that was where my GGGramdmother used to live and yet her children were born in Garrison Lane. Any help out there? Lynda :-\

David Lines lived where the yaught club went too. He was in the navy when he married my sister and they have just had their golden wedding. I loved Brookvale Park and spent many happy hours in it. It was lovely to see the pictures after all these years, as it must have been 40 years since I...

Does Jenny remember David Lines who lived in the house in Brookvale Park. He married my sister Ann Harris. His father Gerald used to work for the parks too. Lynda

Thanks a lot for your help. I'll keep having a look for the info. Its a bit hot tonight so am going to find somewhere cool. Thanks again Lynda

Would I be able to find my Dads war record for WW2? I know he was in the Royal Warwickshires and had already been in the army before the war. So he was called up straight away. He came back at Dunkirk, and I think he spent a lot of time in Africa after that and did not come home until August...

Its great to see Erdington Village once again. Dave and I were married at Erdington Parish Church forty years ago.Do you remember to market Hall opposit Woolies I think, and we used to end up drinking coffee from Mr and Mrs Lorenzons stall. I used to go tap dancing at Ann Harris's in them days...

Hi June Don't know if I have spoken to you before. My much loved Nan lived in Vicarage road. Her name was Annie Harris and she owned the fruit and veg shop there. Opposite lived my Uncle Fred and Aunty Rose with their children Martin and Gillian. She had lived there since the turn of the...

Thank you so much for such a lovely picture O0 My husband David was born off the Hob Moor Road so it is of great interest to us both. My Grandmother used to tell me about the Road around about that time. She came from Small Heath, and said they used to walk miles down that lane as it was then to...

I know now why I keep coming back to this site :2funny: :idiot2: You all keep me smiling at all the silly things we used to do. But it was very serious. I'm sure we had more fun them days than the kids do today. We also played football and cricket in the season of course with a dustbinlid and a...

I do so agree with all the postings concerning the latest deaths, but as I said after one remembrance day. The only way to commemorate their deaths is to make sure there is no more war. Now I know that is not an easy thing to expect, but just as war and hatred is taught on a mothers knee, we can...

Re: Tree Lovers' League Did you ever know my Uncle Bill McCormick? I think he was among the cycling fraternity around that time. He used to arrange a lot of the races in Salford Park. It may have been in the 50's on thinking about it, so you may be too young. Happy reading though Lynda
