Thanks Mike, I wonder what year it would have gone. I thought it looked like it had been demolished going by the modern map, but not knowing the area, I didn't know.

In 2014 a business,was registered there.

Yes, I thought about it after I asked! I'm looking now to see if it's still there.

Hi all Thanks for all of your efforts on finding details regarding Horace. What was a general dealer? Is 139 Dudley Road still there?

I'm looking forward to seeing the people behind the names, it's a great forum, so much information. What I like is that there is someone to ask about what you have read, if you were reading the info in a book and you thought of a question, who would you ask?

Thanks Maurice and Janice. Good info. I couldn't help but wonder if there was a local church nearby to where Horace lived that may have had his name on a plaque?

Hi Horace Strawbridge died in 1917 in France and is buried in Cabaret Rouge British cemetery. Where could I look to see if there is a memorial for him? He lived in Winson Green Road. Would it be in a church nearby Winson Green? Any help on how to find out would be appreciated. Kat

From the line drawing article in the Argus that you have sent me, I'm assuming it is Lyn.

Hi all Here is a pic of the cup won by Arthur Strawbridge (1884 - 1967), we are not sure when it was won. Kat

I have had a quick look Lyn, I will read in detail later. Great to learn about that so thanks, Houdini's props made in Birmingham, well I didn't know that.

Here's a pic of the winged wheel. The headstone is damaged at the moment and we are in the process of getting it repaired, this is an old photo, but one of when it was complete. It has also been cleaned since this photo was taken.

How interesting Lyn, what a find. Everyone knows who Houdini is! Where would the Froggatts have had a workshop / premises in Birmingham? Have you ever posted on here about them, pics, etc, could I look it up. Froggatt, brill name!!!!

Rosie, I have looked at the #105 post from Brian. How interesting. Thank you for letting me know. I will let my relations see the pic.

Do yo have to pay for temporary grave markers Brian?

I wish I would have known you then, I would have enjoyed helping. I have been wanting to do some voluntary work for ages. I have managed to look at the grave plans. But I would welcome your knowledge, especially after hearing that the plans aren't always to plan! I did go last year and look...

Ok KHB, see you at the meet up. Sorry to hear about you losing family members and also sorry to hear your 70 hrs was a thankless week. Please accept my thanks for the work you did, although I didn't know it until recently, you have cared about a place where my relations are laid to rest, so...

Oh yes, I can see the number, thanks Rosie, I will have a look later. Warstone Lane cemetery has always attracted me, when I think of the times we have been there over the years when I was a teenager in the 80's and up until now. That's a long time to be wondering who is buried in the cemetery...

Mikejee, thanks for the info. Its always useful to know these things.

Arh, Lyn, bless your heart, that's kind of you to think of that and set the link up on Abbey Street. I will have a look later, thanks Lyn xxx
