Thank you Beamish and David. See what I can find from there.

Does anyone have any information on Birmingham City players around 1935/1936, I believe a Jack Sykes played for them some time around then. Can anyone confirm this?

Sorry Lloyd I wasn't asking you to search for me, I have all my families details, I was just stuck with the war records and thought perhaps I was looking in the wrong place, but now you have told me there probably aren't anymore I'll be satisfied with what I have.

Re Herbert Hancox. South Staffs Lloyd. Can you help me a little bit more with my grandfathers WW1 record. I joined Ancestry as you suggested but I keep coming up with the information you gave me and nothing more, what am I doing wrong?:confused:

Thank you Bammot for the directory, and to Lloyd who always comes up with the answers, I don't know what I would do if I hadn't got this site to turn to,

I believe my great grandmother ran a shop at 49 Grosvenor St, Ladywood is it possible to tell me what sort of shop it was? Any information would be appreciated her name was Charlotte Norman.

LLoyd thank you so much for that information, I don't know how you do it . At least I know they must have had the shop between the years 1925 and 1935. Can you tell me how to go about finding where it could have been, I don't live in Birmingham now,so I have to rely on the internet or very...

My husband went to Stratford Rd school in the 1930's, next to St Agnes church, the entrance used to be on Stratford Rd but was later moved away from the main road because of traffic, It is now Ladypool School and was hit by the tornado. My husband lived in Beechfield Rd at the side of the school.

Thanks Lloyd I found the information very interesting I often wondered what had happened to the old school it seems it has had a very up and down history. I would love to hear from anyone who attended in the 1950's.

Can anyone tell me what happend to the above school situated in Hartfield Crescent. I went to that school in the 1950's but have never come across anyone else who attended. I remember a few of the names Pat Allen and Ann Sawyer come to mind.

Thanks Phil, my how the old place has changed, but at least it is still standing and has not met the fate of a lot of the old pubs of being flattened. It is many years since I have been in the Stratford Rd area but from what I have seen in news reports it is very different from how it was.:)

Can anyone tell me if the Brewers Arms is still standing. My parents kept it in the 50's. It was on the corner of Stoney Lane and Highgate Rd.
