oh maybe I've got it wrong then

I think it might be this guy, in 1911 he was living at Newtown Row

You know what, I think I've cracked it! I think Rose was living with James Christopher and Alice Price and that James Thomas was their son. Alice died in October 1935. Perhaps Rose then took up with James C? He died in Jan 1937. I can't access the 1921 record for James C Price for some reason.

Found it, I stupidly didn't note what year it's from.

Thank you, I have that record but hadn't noted the year. I think I have one from 1931 where there's an Alice Price too, I think it's from 1931 but can't be sure.

Finding this stuff is never straightforward for me!

Thanks all, you've manged to find out overnight what took me about 18 months! Originally I only posted because I was looking into where she lived. What you have all detailed above is what I've got regarding her early life. Due to her going by Rose, Rosie, Roseanna and her ages not always...

I didn't know the 1:500 Town plan maps where on there too!

oops sorry!

Thanks for that. Jumping between threads here, this is the same great gran who lived on Brearley St. She's rarely at the same address twice and has been a total nightmare to research. Regarding the 1911 census, I'm not sure but relatively confident I've found her in the B'ham Workhouse, she was...

Many thanks for your reply, that makes perfect sense.

Thanks both. I've used NLS maps before but used the side by side feature. The transparency feature is really good, will definitely use it in the future. FYI, I have access to lots of historical mapping online via a programme I use for work. There's not as many years mapping available as there...

Thanks for the reply. I'm a bit confused, were the courts renumbered? Your earlier map appeared to show Court 29 to be further west by Hockley St, sorry if I'm being dim!

These photos are great and of real interest to me. My Great Gran was living at 1/2 Brass St in March 1914 when my grandad was baptised. Would this be after the courts were refurbed? Also, does 1/2 mean house 1 court 2 or is it the other way around?

Great map thanks for posting. It's of real interest to me as the 1891 census shows my then 10 year old great gran Rose Pagett was living at House 3, Court 29, Brearley Street. The next two census' appear to show her in the Birmingham Workhouse.

Thank you so much for looking that up. Unfortunately, I can't confirm that's my relative without details of his age. I don't have record of him living at that address but his family seemed to move very frequently in the Lozells, Handsworth and Aston Manor area so I can't rule it out. In 1908 he...

Thanks for the reply. Below is a cutting from the B'ham Mail, 8th Jan 1910. My great grandfather was named Herbert Barham and lived in the Aston area. As shown below, someone of his name was in trouble with the law for stealing some pork but his name had been misprinted. The article is from...

Hi all, Sorry if I've posted this in the wrong place but wondered if any of you could guide me how to search a specific historic edition of the Birmingham Mail from January 1910? Thank you in advance, Paul

At some point in the early 1950’s, my grandfather moved to Birmingham where he trained to become a telephone engineer with the General Post Office (later British Telecom), presumably putting to use the skills he learned as a Telegrapher in the Navy during WWII. Does anyone know where he'd have...
