Hi stars, thanks for clearing that up, I know exactly where you mean now ...No need to google it... I can just look out of my front window :encouragement: 1. Making the roof higher over the pumps to stop damage from high lorries 2. Showing the garage and the still unfinished building work...

stars and carolina, I'm getting confused as to which end B&G was...but carolina your sister would possibly have known my Sister-in-law and her family as they lived close to 1900 and I live there now, opposite the exit from the Whirlwind. Nearby Pubs would have been The Good Companions heading...

Hi stars, I recognise the name of Burgess and Garfield but I cant remember where from. There were originally two Petrol Stations on that stretch of land inbetween the Coventry Road and the New Coventry Road, one at either end. The one closest to where the Sheldon Picture House was, stood just in...

The Three Horseshoes is still there OldBrit

Re: Edith k hinton ; Hi Astonian, The name of Gaynor would fit in because there is a Birth Record for a Gaynor M Hadley, mothers maiden name PERKS, born 1950, June quarter, Birmingham. But I dont know about your Great Grandfather being remarried ? To work it out properly we would need to...

Re: Edith k hinton ; Ladylinda thank you for sorting that out :) I wasnt convinced that I had it right because of the time span (it was late !!) but what you have found all makes sense. Astonian, It wasnt your grandmother BERTHA that I thought had been married before ..it was her sister...
