The map and list of those killed in these air raids is very interesting. I can remember these air raids most clearly being 10 yrs old in 1940.I was living at that time with my Grand mother at 3 School Avenue,Grove Rd,Kings Heath.Right in the middle of the hits shown,but escaped any damage. I...

Re: "British Resturants" I have many happy memories of them.Having a bike like most of us in those days and being 14yrs old in 1944,I was able to go to Kings Heath.Stirchley, Northfield to name just a few.A good meal at a low cost. Even when I started work at Avery's,Smethwick,a short walk up...

Thanks Ladybird,the Florence working for the Sadler family sounds promising.My grandfather comes from Westmancote not a million miles from Pershore.Perhaps there is a tie up there. Bye John Hughes

I have obtained the Birth Cert for Vera Florence Evans.She was born in Queencharlottes Hospital,Marylebone Rd.19th March 1907 Mother Florence Evens aged 18.a General Servant,living in Barnes.She may well have been only 17 when Percy Hill put her in the club. No wonder she could not keep the...

The first thing that comes to my mind is that good old Percy did the dirty on Vera's mother,had his wicked way then did not wed the poor lass.What do you think. regards John Hughes

Yes I think you have cracked it between you.I had clocked the birth in Marylebone in 1907.The age on the 1911 should have been 4yrs That fits in with the Nurseling instead of servant.So the age on the wedding cert of 27 is correct and my Aunt was not a fibber. Thanks all John Hughes

The name of her father was Percy Hill(Deceased)
