Thank you Cromwell, I didn't have that but on the CWGC I found that he is remembered at Netley Military Cemetery it even gives the grave memorial ref No. I shall have to pay a visit one day

I have this photo of the Williams family that Joseph Underhill married into, it was taken from a story in the Birmingham Choice Newspaper in 1987. It was sent by a distant relative I had contact with though Genes Reunited. It was believed to be have been taken on Coventry Road.

I don't believe they were there after 1935 though they may have or at least Emma Underhill may have had a fish and chip shop on the Coventry Road. Emma never married and died in 1987 in her nineties.

Thank you for replying, I am fairly new to this and have discovered information that none of my family were aware of. John Bartlett was a malt mill maker/steel mill maker. I'm clutching at straws really since I found an indenture at Birmingham Library that refers to the...

There wouldn't happen to be a John Bartlett or Bartlett family buried at Key Hill would there. He died in 1858 I may have mentioned this before I know he had some estate on Key Hill and Hockley Hill.

What lovely photos ............even better since I discovered that when my grand parents married they were living in Heath Mill Lane. Can I use it for my records?

Me too I don't have a photo but my great grandfather died from injuries he received in Ypres Arras and the Somme whilst he was in University War Hospital Southampton 21st August 1916. He was with the 11th Btn Royal Warwickshire Regiment. His name was Henry Underhill, his family lived in...

Fantastic news I bet your really chuffed.

Marc when I was doing lookups in the electoral registers for Joseph Underhill as as mentioned previously he and his daughter lived at 63 and 64 Grange road at some time in the 1920's at least up until 1936. In 1926 I remember looking at the register front sheet and Beech Avenue was included in...

Thank you it was very helpful

I was on a course yesterday and needed directions, when checking the A - Z I saw that the venue was around the corner from Angelina Street the address of my gggrand parents Samuel and Lydia Taylor in 1881. I decided to check it but I was so disappointed because the houses were relatively new...

I remember Gospel Lane from Redstone Farm Road I lived in Arkley road and went to Lakey Lane Primary. I went into Severne road many times but not sure why probably to see my mates.

I have Ernest J Tustin aged 20 living at 54 Benacre Street Court 11 House 4 in 1901 born Acocks Green occupation Journey man Painter,son of Eliza Tustin.

I was just doing a google search of Arthur Street and learnt that Birmingham City FC use to be Small Heath Alliance in 1875 a bunch of bored cricket players, playing football in the winter months on waste ground near Arthur Street ............well you live and learn?

My memory served me well about the two giraffes then. The nature centre is good to visit at Cannon Hill the entrance is through the museum on Pershore Road.

Theyre great photos, where did you find them, thank you for sharing them.

Thank you very much what a lovely photo. Are the houses back to back?

Does anyone have any photos's of Arthur Street, I am still persuing the Bartletts who lived in Arthur Street No 7 in 1881 and maybe earlier. John Bartlett Jnr moved from there in 1901 I found him living in Ladypool Road.
