    Centenary Square development 2017-18

    Just looking through the pics and zooming in to see what's happening near to the old registry office site, where the Strawbridge forge once stood, and spotted a van that belongs to a company that I worked for for 12 years and my partner still works for them! How spooky!!!!! Sorry off topic!

    Centenary Square development 2017-18

    Great pics, thanks to all who posted them. I have really enjoyed looking. I know it's a building site, but it's history in the making. Sorry I haven't read all of the thread, but does anyone know what is going to be built on the old registry office site.

    Lodge Hill Cemetery Burial Records, Where Do I Look?

    I had an email today with the download details. I was hoping to see an address but unfortunately that info wasn't available. I think the death cert is the other option. Thanks everyone for your help with this.

    Thank you all for your help in obtaining some info. I still haven't looked in detail, I have been a bit under the weather. Pjm, I think all of your findings relate to him. I remember seeing the same info. Yes he was obviously a worker! I will have a good look later on, I've just popped on...

    Shopkeeper, 27 Nechells Park Road, Shop Or Residnetial Address?

    Fabulous Info, thank you all who posted. It looks like it may take a bit of working out. The only census I have is 1911. I will compare everyone's info and my info tomorrow and I will post what info I have, perhaps the answer is there but I can't see it On one of his children's birth certs...

    Hi Phil, that's amazing, thank you. Roughly what year would that photo have been taken? As I don't know the area, would it be possible to see a map?

    In 1902, William Henry Strawbridge was listed as a shopkeeper. I forgotten the date, I got a bit excited!

    Lodge Hill Cemetery Burial Records, Where Do I Look?

    Thanks Aston lad and Lyn. I may well have to purchase the death cert, I might be lucky with this download, when it works, I have had to email them to report the faulty download, so I don't expect a reply until Monday! Always good to know about other experiences Lyn, thanks for sharing.

    Lodge Hill Cemetery Burial Records, Where Do I Look?

    Thanks aston lad and Carolina. I have another question, would Lodge Hill Cemetery have any details stating the parents on an infant death record? If not, where might I find such details?

    Strawbridge

    Thanks for that info Lyn, good point. I think I was a bit spoilt with finding death cert listings stating Warstone Lane!!! Now I think that there may be a burial place listed on all death certs!!! I have just come back on to post that I have found all three of them via a link that MWS posted...

    Strawbridge

    Hi all I have been looking for three death certs and I can only find 'listings'. Arthur Strawbridge (1883 - 1967), Kate Rose Strawbridge (1878 - 1928) and Florence Gertrude Strawbridge (1884 - 1978). If anyone could help that would be great, I would like to know where they are buried.
