Its free search weekend on Findmypast and a chance to nail down family members at a property on Cheapside......Charles William Bayley gives his address as 25 Court 8 House on army records...a marriage cert and a couple of birth certs around 1921 but do you think I can find any record for this...

At The Library of Birmingham today and found that my relatives were at 20 Tower Road in 1971 and most of the houses we gone by 1972. Well I say he was there in 71 but he died early that year but dont know when the register was dated ( forgot to look ). Anyway No 20 was not on the register......

Thanks...as soon as I asked I read the heading again....lol.

.............." As well as being a valued family photo, it is a photo of a very successful lightweight boxing champion, adding much to our Birmingham Sports History "....... Any idea of his name please ?

Another train of thought was that she helped out with charing and certainly her Aunt ( Beatrice) cleaned at Bulpits - probably Camden St along with her Mother ( Ivy's Gran).....and also another Aunt Leah got married and for a time lived in Camden St (need to confirm date but almost sure around...

As I say she was at Firsby Road when 16 but could have been visiting.The 32 Moseley could be red herring but amazing theres 2 people Ivy M Bayley around same area....lol

O.M.G. you have all been busy......in the photo she was Ivy May Bayley and name changed in 53 to Poole.... IF she was with her grandmother and Aunts/Uncles they lived in 1/66 Cheapside but cant say precisely when they left until they turn up at Firsby Rd in Quinton in 1939.

Yep thats him.

No names that I have seen/heard that are to do with her......probably all lodgers........she says shes living at Laurel Road in Cotteridge on her Marriage Cert.

I have Premium membership on Ancestry but no idea if I could access electoral roles....or how too.

Oh blimey thats interesting. How would I go about finding information like that ?

Yes 1923 and married name was Poole.....married in 1953 and my Wife was born 1957.

thanks everyone........we came upon this photo yesterday. Its my wifes Mom and all she ever told her was that she helped out doing Charing with her Gran and Aunt...She is on the 1939 register with them in Quinton and they did pubs etc locally but also at Bulpits in Town.....the aunt died in 1940...

......" I'm in the middle of writing up the Beale family Tree in which the family moved from Court to Court housing and it was a very tough life."...... This evening I saw a 1911 census with a Beale family ...father born Aston and the rest Brum......it was on a Facebook Genealogy site. I was...

I know this would be a very hard thing to do but would anyone have any ideas as to where my Mother in law would be standing please.....some writing on " hoarding" at end of road and theres a spire thing behind her ( coming out of head). We have no idea of her age in this but she was born in...

More recognisable for me in picture 2 but only just. I only knew this area for a few years as I attended the Mathew Boulton School of printing from 1969-72. Even then the Uni buildings dominated things on the left side of Aston St.

Thank you for your ideas...will try them.

Well comparing his both marriage certs they are both " funny"..... Ages....on 1st they both say they are 3 years older that they were. Maybe they needed to be over a certain age...they were really 19 and 18. on 2nd Charlie says he is 36 when he is actually 30. Names...on 1st his dad is Harry and...

Yes Janice thanks...I think it was on here that members pointed me to them last year. I think maybe these had a bit to do with the couple splitting up....seemed to coincide around the times that 2 of their children died.

Drove down Raddlebarn road the other day and saw that the old Workhouse arch entrance has been retained.
