That's great, thanks. I would still like to buy a map though if anyone could tell me where to get one.

Thanks, interesting but I wondered if anyone had used a household cleaner that is safe?

Hi Has anyone ever seen the winged wheel headstone when passing the church?

Hi Mike Well I would like to see as much as possible, but if it's too large then just the Abbey Street part. Where can I buy a map because I would like to see as much as possible so I can really understand the area.

Hi Dave Thanks for the info. Wow a map that shows the post box's!!!! Amazing what can be found out! I mean, I don't want to get you into trouble for evading the DIY, but I would love to see what the map shows for 20 Abbey Street.

Hi I have several headstones I want to clean this Summer. What is the best thing g to use?

Hi Rosie How interesting, thank you. How do I look up number 105? Goodness, who would have thought that both of our relations would have been in the same plot. I'm quite stunned really!

Thank you Lady P, I'm looking forward to it.

Hi KHB Thanks for the link. So, what would the chances be of a meet up with you in the summer to locate the graves. I would appreciate your expertise in the matter. It's a shame if I'm thinking the graves are located somewhere that's incorrect.

Thanks Bojalu, I have sent an email to them regarding the clean up. Great info.

Where would I find out about helping with tidying Warstone Lane Cemetery?

I have 8 family members, Strawbridge, buried in Warstone Lane Cemetery. I have found one grave, Prudence Strawbridge (1818-1892) no headstone or marker but it's near to Harry Gem's grave. Prudence was my Great Great Great grandmother. I want to go back in the summer and try to locate them all.

My family used to go to the Cock Inn. Harry Strawbridge my G Grandfather (1890 - 1962), Sidney Strawbridge my Grandfather (1913-1965)and Harry Strawbridge my G Uncle (1919-1998). Can anyone remember them?

Thank you. I look forward to seeing you all.

Mikejee, if Berwood Eng was at 28 Abbey St, the Strawbridge Blacksmith was at 20 Abbey Street, what a shame the pic doesn't show the Blacksmith's. I live in hope. But it's fab to have pics of the Street. The streets look so interesting back then.

Hi I would like to come. It would be great to meet up. I haven't been a member for long, but I am really quite attached to the forum. I can learn a lot about Birmingham here with everyone's help. I found the site through a family member who I traced from my family tree, which happened only 4...

Yes, you have got something there, also probably not enough room. I'm going by memory though, I'm hoping to get the pic next week.

Hi, is it possible to get a map of Abbey St, Lodge Rd and as much surrounding area as you can. I have met a family member in the past 4 weeks and he has kindly given me some info. But I need a map and I can't get one on Google.

Wow, Viv, thanks for the pic. The cup on the left is just like the one we have that Arthur Strawbridge won. Thanks Lyn, I'm sure it was for shooting, no date on the cup and it says POW. As Arthur lived in Sheepcote Street my family are sure it is The Prince of Wales in Cambridge Street.

Lyn, I'm so glad someone else finds this amazing. You have restored my sanity. We have the cup, I didn't know until after Christmas last year that a cup existed. My cousin showed It to me, apparently his Mom took care of it up until he had it. Imagine how thrilled I was when the only building...
