After showing a family member this pic tonight he wondered if it was taken looking towards Cambridge St? And if so, would it show the back of the house of 83? Next to the Prince of Wales public house?

The old buildings look great with their chimneys etc. And the cobbled foot paths. I don't know if it's me, but the old pics look so full of character and history, amazing.

Great info Janice and Mikejee. Thanks for the pic, it is great to see these old pictures even if they don't relate to my family history, but it's quite magical looking at the photo and thinking that the Strawbridge's would have been on these streets! Unreal!

Great info MWS, thank you. I had wondered about the church.

Hi all Harry Charles Strawbridge was listed at the above address, firstly as a shoeingsmith and then a haulier in 1908. What kind of property would be at 1 St Martin's Row?

Arh, I get it. Thank you.

Is 15 Tyndall Street a place where Mary Ann worked or would she have owned a bakery?

Clear what up nicely? Sorry if I missed it.

Yes you really capture the look of the dogs Eric. These pedigree dogs obviously all take on certain characteristics. Very nice.

Oh that's a lovely painting Eric. I have 3 Chihuahuas.

Great info MWS, thank you. I will look that up. It's not that I need to check your findings, but it's great to see it, quite fascinating.

Thanks MWS, I appreciate your help. I would like to know who the following is as we share the same surname. Strawbridge My Ann, 1858 Dix Generl and Comm Directory of Bham, occupation: Baker, 16 Tyndall Street, Bham. Any suggestions anyone?

MWS, sorry, her profession was a baker.

Thanks MWS, there is a listing for her as a baker in Bham. Do you think the baker is her?

Hi all Please could anyone help in finding Mary Ann Strawbridge on a census (I have 1841) or electoral register? She was baptised in 1837 in L'field Staffs. Thank you

Hi Pedrocut Thanks for the newspaper clipping. How fab that you have managed to find that. It freaked me out a bit until I read it twice, I thought it said a 'fawn coloured pug' to begin with! There are two fawn coloured pugs in the family and I have one of them!!!!!

Wow, I'm so thrilled with that, thanks so much Mikejee.

Not to worry Mikejee, thanks so much for looking. If you do work it out, I would like to know.

Would number 83 be on this pic that Lyn supplied?

Hi all Is number 83 Cambridge Street next to or opposite the pub. My Great Nan and Great Grandad used to live at 83, listed in 1923 and 1925. Thanks
