Not wishing to appear rude but the starting point for any query of this nature is References so that we all know that we are looking at the same data. 1891 = RG12, Piece 2437, Folio 16, Page 27. Is this from the Certificate or just a Family Search entry. If the latter then you really need to...

Are you sure it is a DVD? From a little bit of research, NTSC seems to be a VHS standard. The UK being PAL and a good deal of Europe being SECAM. Differences between NTSC and PAL see HERE In relation to DVD,s North America (from memory) is Region 1 whereas Europe is Region 2. However, some...

Frankly, I haven't been down there for decades. I can just about remember the TA Centre. I used to have 'rellies' that lived in Barrows Lane on the other corner of Common Lane. However, it is the type of location where the Police would have built houses. Two other avenues to try. 1. The...

I seem to have a vague memory of there being some in Barrows Lane on the Coventry Road side of the junction with Common Lane, but would stand to be corrected. Barrows Lane was/is Birmingham = Birmingham City Police, whereas Lyndon Road was/is Solihull therefore would then have been Warwickshire...

On the subject of Certificates, some can be obtained from Family Search free of charge, via their Photoduplication service. However, it is somewhat cumbersome and something of a 'Black Art', as I have discovered.:05.18-flustered: Points to note: If the record has been digitised, then the...

Lyn. Just why have you got a bicycle lock linking the pergola(?) to the ornamental wall? I once had a cat. Can't remember exactly why it was in my care. Just a kitten but, every morning, about 0730, I would feel this 'presence' above my head and, claws would gently pull back one eyelid. And...

Only a year and a half later, I'll repeat the question. I can remember my Father working at Permaglaze and from there he went on to work at Thornley & Knights in Bordesley Green Road. IIRC, T&K were at the forefront of developing Powder Coating. I can certainly remember him taking certain metal...

Are you aware of the 'Unfinished Dam'? https://history.powys.org.uk/history/rhayader/unfinished.html The story I was told was that as technology advanced, and the building of the mighty Claerwen Dam became feasible, then this, and the plans for two other Dams above, were abandoned. On a visit...

The cars? I'd say one is a Zephyr. Hall Green (Tech) College?

Re: Cissey Maude Johnson - Handsworth Do we know if she was a 'JOHNSON' by Birth or did she marry into the family? I've gone back a Generation. 1881 - High Street, Wellington, Shropshire. RG11, Piece 2678, Folio 21, Page 35. Richard Johnson born Oxford 1827 - Shoemaker Jane Johnson born...

Re: Sissy Maude Johnson - Handsworth Nothing to connect to Betty (presume Christened Elizabeth) but she wouldn't have been born at the time. We have members here who have access to Electoral Rolls, 1920's (ish) onwards, so addresses between then and 1960 would be pertinent. Ages of any...

Re: Sissy Maude Johnson - Handsworth Samina. The reference is a short cut to the actual page(s) in the 1911 Census. A bit like a URN (Unique Reference Number). It's what most Researchers use to avoid confusion.

Re: Sissy Maude Johnson - Handsworth Oops. I was posting in Brit-Gen mode forgetting that I was actually viewing the Brum forum. To flesh it out, the Father is shown as Ambrose Johnson, born 1871, shown as an Urban District Council Employee Roadman, born Bilston. Wife of 20 years shown as...

Re: Sissy Maude Johnson - Handsworth In 1911 there is a Cissie Johnson, 12 years of age, 2 back of 106 Villa Road, Handsworth, with a sister, May Johnson. Bugger, I still haven't got to grips with these 1911 references. RG14PN17218 RG78PN1059 RD371 SD1 ED13 SN163 :culpability:

Now all connected and has been for several weeks. In fact, it is now even longer as it extends to Laverton. The next objective is to get to Broadway where the original Station is being rebuilt. https://broadwaygwsr.blogspot.co.uk/ Only just over 2 more miles, and work to 4 bridges, preventing...

That's the one I found. Two other possibilities, https://www.bullmotif.com/ which sell a 'finished product' line, and, https://www.woolies-trim.co.uk/c-290-single-track.aspx who supply a more 'generic' product. In my initial post, I made reference to 'cars like the Morris Minor'. The...

Coventry. The only one I can find there with a 'Fletcher' name connection looks to be a high-end tuning and styling outlet.

Thanks. I'll keep them in mind. Thanks to all that replied. I was also one of those 'sad puppies' who could spend literally hours mooching around the old place. I've probably still got tools and bits of spares that I purchased there.

Not been there for years. From memory, it used to be on the corner with Dartmouth Middleway but when I went past some months ago I think it had different occupancy. Does it still exist? I can find numerous trade listings for the business but no actual Home Page. I'm after some 'U' section...

More than likely. Although by 1917, when my Mother was born, they were living at 27 Johnstone Street.
