Lois - have you managed to find him on the 1861? If so what is his place of birth on there?

Thank you for that Mike. How incredible to think that Aston Hall was probably saved by the Mayors choice of words on an invitation. Viv - that's a lot of visitors in one day - and all sober too by the sounds of it!

I wonder what would have happened to Aston hall if the council hadn't agreed to purchase it? Reading the advertisement for A.W Anderson it seems you could lend a newspaper to read - I am assuming you read it on his premises and had to pay.

Mike, I am so sorry to hear your mum passed away this afternoon. Please know that I am thinking of you at this very sad time.

Ann, What year was your gt gt grandfather born?

Those I mentioned are too far back and too much towards the metro - I think my memory is going too - I couldn't think where L was.

John, I have found 110 Farm Street listed as an Off License in the licence transfers in The Birmingham Daily Post Dec 1887 (transferred to G Freeman) So maybe horse and cart means that Emily Butler was a beer seller at 110 Farm Street in 1904 when Charles Young died there.

Could it be section L Brian - there is L220 Amelia Toy 1934 and L225 Albert Frederick Toy 1935 or there are two in one grave L275 - Emma Eliza Toy 1944 and John Edward Toy 1950

Hi Zena, do you know what year your nan's sister died? There is an Elsie May Smith in Warstone Lane buried 1939 in grave number S 1035

There is some information on here. I haven't had time to look at it myself but the first link says marriages at St Johns are available to buy and the second link says many archives can be searched for free...

I have looked at Mark Norton's website many times - I think the photographs on it are brilliant and it is a wonderful tribute to his father -so I was really pleased to be able to go to a talk he gave at our local library last week. The talk was accompanied by photographs shown on a large screen...

I had the pleasure of meeting Annie Murray last week when she gave a very interesting talk at my local library. I took the opportunity to buy A hopscotch summer and All the Days of our Lives. I read Soldier Girl a while ago (the middle book of that trilogy - trust me to read them in the wrong...
