    Oh, I forgot they weren't all at St Joseph's.

    Iommi family

    You could find the names from plot 87 in the records to see what it says and how it compares to what it says next to your relatives. You could also compare some of the names from headstones still standing in different sections to get some bearings.

    Missing Family members - Wheeler / Baker

    It seems unlikely that they are the right people. And Australian records are pretty sparse, so hard to track even if they were.

    Missing Family members - Wheeler / Baker

    There appear to be a number of Wheelers on that ship. Are they together/related? I see the birth year is a few years out.

    Varna Road

    A slight anomaly perhaps. There are a George and Lillian Cooper listed on the ER rolls at 100 Varna Road. They ae there from at least 1955 to 1965, so either it is not the correct George Cooper or he didn't die in 1958.

    Shannon, George

    There are a number of outgoing passenger records for George Shannons going to South Africa and one in 1909 for a J Geo Shannon. I can't see any other details.

    Shannon, George

    No luck with the George Shannon who died. However on the 1911 census in the Fulham district there are 2 George Shannons - b1853 Dublin & 1873 Liverpool. The younger is listed as a musician. And it's possible that they both died in Cape Town.

    looking for burial records

    She doesn't appear to have had any, she married in 1941 in Bham. I think she was born in Handsworth. In 1939 she is at the Stoke Lyne Home for Mentally Deficient Boys in Devon. I assume working.

    Shannon, George

    I think that may be the wrong person. Listed as G Shannon, died 9 Sep 1914.

    I assume you know that Winifred's death was registered in Leeds.

    looking for burial records

    There's a death reg. for a Mary A Hill Mar qtr 1959 Bham. There is a burial on the Bham bereavement site for a Mary Hill at Lodge Hill Feb 1959. No other details and they don't list middle name/initial in the search results so no idea if it's her. There is no other death reg. in that qtr for a...

    Iommi family

    All the back to backs of inner city Bham have gone and many roads have been altered so you're lucky if you find a relevant pre 1950s building still standing. Yes, the family seem to have lived at 284 Brearley St for some years and when John & Florence married or soon after they appear to have...

    Iommi family

    Probably been there for just a few years at most, moving from Brearley St. The lived at 1 court 46 which was the back house to no. 284 where John's father and brother lived. Just a short distance from where my step mom's mom lived at no. 246.

    Yes, John William Rogers 1888 - 1968. He could done perhaps.

    Iommi family

    The siblings all seem to be full siblings and their parents seem to have only marriage each other as far as I can see, Edna's father was John William.

    Iommi family

    Families are strange and there are always rumours about people falling out. There are 6 other Rogers/Cooper (Florence's maiden name) birth registrations apart from Edna - Elizabeth, Evelyn, John, Florence, Frederick & Vera. The middle 4 were definitely siblings and I suspect the other 2 were as...

    Rogers isn't great but it could be worse, it could be Smith (my nan), Davies or Jones. Edna Rogers 1931 - 2015?

    Iommi family

    Lambe is probably one of those names that is probably recorded as Lamb as often as it is Lambe. Took another shot at your Lambe ancestors and pretty sure I got the right ones this time as eventually the Treacy Villas address appeared on a record.
