There is a burial of a William Quiney age 25, abode: Bromsgrove Street, on the 15th December 1845 at St Martins, Birmingham. Possibly the correct William but as there are no other details on the parish record it is hard to say for definite.

Hi Ian, You mention on your post #50 that Raymond Quiney died 18th November 1895. I have found a report of an inquest into the death of a Raymond Quiney on 18th November 1895 age 73 in the Workhouse Infirmary. I can only find one Raymond Quiney of correct age that died at this time - the...

Hi Ian, glad to be of help. I had the same thoughts as you about the properties to let - whether they owned them or acted as agents/caretakers. It is amazing how much information can be found in little snippets from the newspapers - now you even know where the Odams were on one evening 154 years...

There is a marriage of Thomas Twamley to Anne Smith on 23rd July 1797 at Clifton Campville - this could be Annes Parents?

Ian looking through the Birmingham Daily Post I have found these snippets which may be of interest to you. 1860 Wednesday 22nd February - an advert for apartments to let on the Bristol Road apply Mrs Adams, Baker, Wellington Road (Adams perhaps a misprint?) Wellington Road is off the Bristol...

The Odams story is very interesting Ian - I look forward to hearing more! I have found this marriage which I think may fit - I believe it has been transcribed incorrectly as Adams. 9th March 1829 St Editha, Tamworth Richard "Adams" of this parish to Anne Twamley of the parish of Clifton...

I think I have found the family on the 1871, 1881, 1891 living 69 Varna Raod, Edgaston - Richard born Tamworth and Mary Ann listed as born Cherington on 1881 and Shipston on the 1891 - you may already have those? Also found this from the Birmingham Daily Post 22 June 1893 Odams - after a short...

I don't know if this helps to locate it but on a share prospectus in 1952 Cornwall Works, Smethwick is described as having frontage to Cornwall Road, Rabone Lane and Booth Street.

Hi Jackie - welcome - I see you joined a while ago but that was your first post - first of many I hope :) I couldn't get the above link to work either but have managed to find the elusive posts 8 & 12 and have copied them here for you - both made by our very knowledgable forum member mikejee in...

Hello bobblehead welcome to the forum :unconscious: would it be possible to give more information? how old he was in 1901/approx year of birth, where he was born, any known address he was at, wife's name if he was married then - with more info something may show up in a search of old newspapers

Me too! :adoration: It's quite funny the police station was built where a pub used to be and then he got sacked for being drunk. I wonder if someone can trace him on the electoral rolls.......

Great photo Lyn and how fortunate someone thought to put a name and some info on the back. I hope someone comes forward with more information - or better still to claim Ben Sneed as their ancestor.
