You're welcome uncle albert, glad to have been able to help.. Nice one lyn (Astoness) and mikejee !!

Uncle albert, I think the modern map may be the cause of your confusion because from a map of 1956 Berners Street ran down the length of the park not Wheeler Street. Berner Street appears to have been shortened somewhat and the park possibly widened as far as I can see.. hope this helps

Thanks again lyn :encouragement: and thank you Alberta :encouragement: I am living in hope now that someone from "Sylvia's" side of the family will see my message one day and then there will be two sisters !! I have a trail I could follow for Sylvia, but I know that one has to tread very...

Thanks jennyann and lyn, it's only taken 74 years, but as they say, "better late than never"...or should that be "all good things come to those who wait" !! They have a lot of catching up to do :peaceful:

Hi infoanne (assuming he is still living) Ive just put the name in a search on 192.com with over 65 selected and 37 results have appeared, maybe you might have some more info that will tie in with what is there ? In the birth records there is only one born Birmingham between 1939 and 1942...

Hi Phil and Bernie :) Bernie, Thank you for the link, it was most interesting. Well I have good news, I carried on digging around on the net and this evening, I am pleased to tell you, at long last I have found the information that I've been searching for !!! From the British History Online...

Hi Phil, Thank you for the information, it'smost appreciated. I will give that a try :)

Hi Phil, Thanks so much for your response. I believe the school on the Warwick Road was Yardley Grammar (my hubby and uncle both went there) which is where I first thought it may have been, but your second post seems promising. I've just found it in Kellys and tried to find it on OldMaps, but...

It's been a while since I first posted my query above, about Yardley Road School (just over 2 years in fact) and my thoughts at the time were that the school Nan went to was on Yardley Road in Acocks Green, but I was adding some information about where my Nan had lived as a child onto my tree...

Hopefully it will help Doug. Find My Past has his record with the Register Number as 15743, so that may help Wendy when she's able to search the records for you.

This is my effort chas, a challenge indeed !!

Hi Doug, do you have any other details, such as an initial or a year ?

Hi Dennis, Ive been staring at the picture you posted of the 29 bus, for hours trying to work it out and that sign doesnt look like it says Carr's Lane to me either.. Kelly's from 1940 lists this...(working from where it says Bodega on the building in the foreground on the right side of the...

My pleasure Wendy :)
