Hi Wendy, My thanks to you, and to Dick and to Doug, and to the rest of the team; this sort of work is invaluable for amateur genealogists such as me. I haven't the foggiest idea where most of my relatives were buried (but for a recent few at Lodge Hill). I will look for a few Fellows, and...

Thank you, Wendy. This news will save me time and helps narrow my focus to Lodge Hill Cemetery. Lodge Hill is where my grandfather Harry Fellows (William and Ernest's youngest brother) is laid to rest. In addition their mother and father (John and Sarah Fellows) are there too. I bet William and...

Hi Wendy, nice to hear from you. Yes, thanks, it is a lovely family photo. I often look at it and try to imagine what each of them were actually like. I never met any of the family in the photo of course, since each had passed away before I had the wherewithal to pursue my family history (I...

Hello, I am looking for anyone who may be related to the following: This is a wedding photo of my Grand Uncle William Fellows and Olive Henderson, married July 12, 1925 in St. Mark's Church, Ladywood. From left to right: Ernest Fellows age 21 (b. Aug 22, 1903). He is the younger...

Hi Moss, good find. I just explored the area of your photograph with Google street view. Amazing. Seems this is one little corner which the demolition planners forgot about. I wonder how old and what function the building had years ago. Interesting details on the windows and doors. I love old...

Hi Patperks, I flew to Michigan last week, and forgot to bring my laptop with me (she does not have a computer). I will be calling her on Sunday. I will ask for a few details. Pat, do you remember the wedding reception which parked outside our house in 1965? It was for my dad's sister. I...

Hi ozbrummie, I'll check with my mom and dad on the family name. I need to check on a few details for Patperks, too. My dad does not remember much because he was always away working after demobbing from the Royal Airforce. My mom was mainly at home, but she did work at Lucas for a while...

Hi Mossg, What a great picture. Thanks! I have been waiting for a better picture of the street. It is a rare thing indeed. Frankfort runs up where the cars are parked, correct?. Funny how memory can be, for I remember the brickwork being much darker than it appears in this picture. Are the...

Hello Albert, Jack Kirby was a friend of the family. We used to play in his junk yard all the time. It was a fascinating place for kids to explore. He is now long since deceased (early 1970's). Jack always had money being in the junk business. Every Easter he would buy us kids the biggest...

Hi Patperks, wow! this is becoming a very small world. I will speak with my mom and dad tomorrow and ask them what they remember about the neighbors. My mom remembers Gill very well because she used to babysit my brother and I. She thought the world of her at the time. My brothers name is Gary...

Hi Lyn, Yes, that is why I love this site. You never know who you may meet (I have never met a 'Fellows', however, which is perplexing). I have sent Gill an IM. Thanks for the encouragement, Lyn Take care Kevin

Gil this is fantastic News. Were you to the right or left when walking out the door? I have so many questions. I will write more when I get back to my computer in the morning (using iPhone).what are the odds of this? Made my night!

Hello Ray, I would be interested in seeing some photos. You never know, I might recognize my granddad Harry Fellows. He worked there during the 50's and 60's. I think he was a fitter Thanks much Kevin

Re: 1914 Map of Ladywood available Hello Humph, Thanks for the offer. That is one reason I love this forum and it's helpful members All the best, Kevin

Hello, Does anyone remember Sylvia Rose Bayliss? She is my mother, and attended Bierton school in the late 40's early 50's (she was born in 1938) Thanks! Kevin

Hi Jayell, Thanks for commenting and searching. John and Rachel Watton lived at 184 Clifton road in 1901 (according to the census). They must have moved there briefly, because they were back in Gothic Terrace from 1920 until their deaths. Daughters Rachel, Leah, and Louise lived with them at the...

Hi Lyn, yes I saw the Frankfort street picture and left a comment. Thank you! It is only the second picture of Frankfort street I have ever seen. Brings back memories. The houses look a bit worse than I remember as a kid, though =) Strange thing, memory. Thanks very much for finding it, Lyn.

Hey Astoness, What a great picture you have posted! You are right, they are so very rare! How in the world did you find this one? Thanks so much for taking the time to look for it, and for letting me know about it All the best to you, lyn Kevin

Hi, what great story's to read! I am so glad they are all being recorded on this site for entertainment, for research and for posterity. My great grand parents John and Rachel Watton, lived in Gothic Terrace at 4 back 25 court 157 Clifton Road for most of their lives--up until World War II. He...

Hi Anne, sorry, there is no Arthur in my Fellows family tree either. Closest I come to that name is a James Arthur Fellows b. 1926 If you have not already done so, you might see if Arthur was your person's middle name, by the way. I have more than a few relatives who used their middle names...
