    15 Louisa Street, Birmingham, Was This A Residence Please?

    Hi Could anyone tell me if 15 Louisa Street was a residence in 1873 please. I suspect it is, but I have just found a relation living there in 1873 who is listed as a painter and decorator. It's been 24 hours of discovery as regards my family tree. Thank you
