Re: Rosina Rogers Hi Ron, Do you have any more details to go on such as place of birth ?

Hi Paul, there was a Richard Fletcher in the 1921, Kelly's Directory at 158 Dudley Road, furniture dealer. There was also a Richard Fletcher, baker, 190 & 192 & Confectioner 273 Dudley Road (these were recorded in earlier years too)

Ahh ok ladylinda, thanks for looking.. I got the spelling off the 1911, it just seemed really coincidental that there were the 2 Mead families living close to each other and close to the Kings, I thought that was maybe how Mary Mead knew the Kings..just guessing though really..

ladylinda, would you be able to check the Electorals for George and Eliza Mead please, they were in Tillingham Street in 1911 with a daughter Mary, but I couldnt find them in the kellys I have after that.

You're welcome Chris... I really do wish you luck with your search...perhaps if you posted the photographs on here someone might be able to confirm that you have his rank right..just a thought.. I have looked at marriages too and have not come up with anything for it either..the closest I got...

I've had a look at the Kelly's Directories that I have available to me and I can't find George and Eliza or Mary at that address after 1911 unfortunately. Perhaps someone could look them up in the Electoral Rolls for you. At 61 Ladypool Road in 1913 was Mead and Deakin motor car builders. I'm...

Hi Chris, I wasnt expecting the answer you gave when I asked your Dads name, but it seems to have opened up new possibilities for your research and hopefully the certificate you have ordered will give you more information. It is just a pity though that your original question about the 2 brothers...

Hi Nick, I'm glad that you understood my ramblings :)..you have it exactly. Regarding the minimum wage..My one Nan would have understood it completely because she worked in money orientated jobs for most of her working life....My other Nan who was a housewife for most of her working life would...

I know what you mean Paul, my Nan would have been the same..Can you imagine being sent down the road for a loaf now with a pocket full of old pennies...have I got it right...£1 3s 4d would have been 280 old pennies !! ...heavy stuff !! Hi Nick, I know decimalisation isn't to blame for the rise...

Hi Chris, can I ask.. what's your Dad's name

Even now I often work out what the cost of an item today would have been in £sd..and you are right Paul, it is horrific...!! A particular 32.5g (??? I have no idea what weight that is, but I know from the size of the pack it's not a lot) bag of crisps now is 49p...nearly 10 shillings in old...

Re: Electoral Lookup Please: WEBSTER You're welcome Margaret, fingers crossed it is what you were looking for.

Re: Electoral Lookup Please: WEBSTER Hi Margaret, well I cant find a marriage either for Daniels and Webster, but there is however a marriage of a Hilda Daniels to Joseph J Hunt, Birmingham, 1st quarter 1947 Vol 9c Page 380 and then a marriage of a Hilda Hunt to a Kenneth Webster in 1972...

Hi, Ive just been looking at Google maps and comparing todays position of 68 & 67 with an 1889 map and kellys. I agree with Mike about the numbers having discussed this stretch of street with him before on a number further along the street. In the kelly's for 1900 66 is Cohens, Isreal, Wholesale...

Hi Cath, The Kelly's Directory for 1892 has Gt Hampton Street, (west side) Glew, Jn, furn. removr. EDIT.. also there in 1897 through to 1908. By 1913 it was Newbury's Limited, furniture removers

Re: Electoral Lookup Please: WEBSTER Hi skylark Do you have any other information about your couple? years of birth..Hilda's maiden name maybe? (I may be totally wide of the mark here but).. I did find a Webster, Benj. Kenneth, 121 Mary Vale Road, Bournville in the kelly's for 1940

I wasnt sure what period you were looking for but I'm guessing it is more likely to be as smtr has found above, but just for your information, there was an Arthur Cashmore at 96 William Street, Lozells in 1876

Hi Stitcher, Sadly I never knew my Grandad or Gt Grandparents as they had all passed away before I was born, but my Nan often mentioned Montgomery Street, ...not always favourably though because she was treated like a skivvy by her In-Laws and she was glad when her and Grandad got a place of...

Great photo Stitcher, thank you :) it looks pretty much the same today !! My Grandads parents lived further down the street and Nan went to live with them when she married Grandad.

Hi claire, I think if you can get his Death Certificate, the informant may point you in the direction of where he died. Normally the informant is required to give Name, Description and Residence. I believe Isaac is registered as Sargent, age at death 54 (born about 1866) Registration District...
