Whittall St is virtually opposite Newton St - so that looks likely/ Birmingham in 1817 was quite small. St Mary, Whittall St was built on the land given by Mary Weaman, Part of the Weaman Estate. Consecrated in 1774, 1st burial being 5th November. Entries 1774-9 are in St Martin register. St...

You can just make out the CWGC Cross to the right of the Chapel. Should ne names around the base of those buried in unmarked graves within the Cemetery. Brin

All CWWG listed people with no known grave should be listed on the War memorial or an adjacent 'screen wall'. I believe the one at Handsworth is currently hidden from view behind the 'safety' fencing surround the chapel, just in front of the office. Presumably this will be available to view...

Been up it so often! Good café just up there on the corner Hylton St/ Vyse St!

Screen wall means the panel on the War memorial - may not be a 'wall' as such but they keep the terminology for all sites. Brian

It is the entry from the top of Key Hill Drive - opposite Gem Building - and leads into Hylton street. Brian

My half uncle - Mothers half brother married a Featherstone, but we have now found that she was a Cottom, given away at birth - not legally adopted - and only told when she was 21 - Her marriage is down Featherstone. She passed away in 2009 in Australia where the family had emigrated to. Does he...

Brenda, Nearest isn't always the choice, By than Council Cemeteries were open and availability of dates / price were often the deciding factor. If they are in Gt Barr St, Hockley, Key Hill is nearest as is St Georges, and Warstone Lane, but Handsworth & Witton are also close enough, and may...

Understandable Wendy, but an email wouldn't hurt. They may not have got as forward in their transcribing as that yet, but they may have a member willing to search through the copied records for a small fee. It is thanks to volunteers of such organisations, that records are being made available...

BMSGH - Birmingham & Midland Society fro Genealogy & Heraldry have been photographing and transcribing/computerising Witton for some time - but there are over a million burials to be done. Try www.bmsgh.org and have a chat - they usually charge £4 for a pic of the burial Register entry for Key...

So glad you have made contact wit the other family - with 2 lots looking after it now it should stay in good condition - Always remember though that there are many hundreds of others in there - could become crowded one day when they all finally come looking. Brin

Until Coventry recently created their bus route - the Outer Circle was the longest! And the 'outer' Outer Circle "C" is 1 and 1/4 miles longer than the 'Inner' Outer Circle "A"

Ah! I see it now! The school in in the distance on the right, It's the old chapel on the left - not the end of school as I thought! Schoolbu seems likely!

Surely than you are looking down Harvey Road? The school has a long frontage along Church Road, such a small end on view must mean you are looking down Harvey with the bus turning from Moat Lane towards the Yew Tree island - possibly a 17 on it's way to town? Brian

I cannot place where in Church road that is supposed to be - travelled on the 15 from Whittington Oval to town for 10 years. Yardley church is distant left, but the flats on the right look like those by the Yew Tree almost looks like it should be Yew tree Lane or Moat lane? Didn't the 17 turn...

Mary in the T.I. in Vyse st has the disk. Another copy was in Pen room, but suspect it has been passed onto a local group. The full printed version should be available for viewing in the Pen Museum. I'm sure there are block entries for various churches - St mary,s St Thomas's, St Bartholemws...

Wendy, I lost much of my files, when my PC died, but many of the reburials in WL are under the former Churc h name - e.g. St Thomas's X number of coffins - without the personal names - unsure if this is the case here Banri

Hi Pol - Not a clue! I though it was for beaches that had no Dog mess or floating sewage! There is plenty of both in the JQ area! Maybe members of the Friends/JQRG may be able to answer - if they responded, that is! Too busy at present to visit cemeteries - need to hunt down my missing Rellie's...

Whilst I was away, they copied me into an email saying they were going for a "Green Flag" award for KH/WL Cemeteries and were looking for active volunteers from Friends, Residents and local History/Research groups. Doubt if they ever git any physical help from any of the but it's possible some...

Just like Arkwrights on TV ! Is that david Jason in his youth with the curley locks!
