Won't have gone down much last night with all the rain, the tame is still high, the Castle Grounds are still under water here although you can just see the tops of the benches this afternoon, so a bit of an improvement. Sue

Suzanne that is great, I'm sure that is her,Shera, the 1950 address will be correct, that didn't come up on my electoral roll search,but Nellie is Micks nan and her husband James - Nan lived at Harcourt Road following her and Jims return from Coalville, where they were during the war as Jim did...

Looks great to me Dave, i am hopeless with anything technical! Sue

Dave I knew it would be bad over there, the Burton road was closed twice, once in Elford then again at the Catton Turn,but hadn't thought it would flood the Arboretum that much. I hope it hasn't damaged any of the memorials too badly. Lets hope we have seen the last of the heavy rain for a...

Dave really like these pics, and agree with the comments about the impersonality of the new buildings taking away the character of the area, pity the planners didn't have the same visions as us! Sue

Lyn if all goes to plan 2 cakes on their way complete with carry boxes :encouragement: and Wendy if its the bubbly shampoo, I'm sure it would be fine lol!! though you'd need a 2nd mortgage to get it!! Looking forward to it now. Sue

Must be really hard for both of you, Wendy and Leslam, but like you say have to support your children and just think of the holidays abroad :smug: We will all be there to support you at the meet and at least you will have an excuse for being emotional when Lyn hides all the raffle prizes she has...

Thanks Ladylinda, that points to g.g.grandparents having a shop, but still no closer to g.grandads occupation - its Micks family and nan used to say that her dad, Thomas Latham, ran a shop, never thought to ask if it was his shop, or he just ran it, but nan used to say that she went to help out...

Hadn't read Kandors account before, how lucky you were and how brave to walk that distance, especially with burst ear drums. Glad to hear all turned out well for you and you bear no grudge against the irish, most of whom were as appalled by the actions as anyone else. The memorial service last...

On Church road was the Birmingham Co-operative society supermarket, my aunty lived in a flat above it as her hubby ran the co-op green grocers in the Coventry Road. there was the entrance to the flats, double wooden doors, then a greengrocers, can't recall the name, will ask dad later if no-one...

Lyns too sensible to do a thing like that Mossg lol!! Lyn just goes to show what happens when women get wound up doesn't it? Can just picture the scene with the frying pan,bet the look on your dads face was a picture too, great family story though. Sue

I am trying to trace gt grandad on hubbys side of the family, Thomas Latham, I know he ran a shop, but not sure exactly where, but in 1912 electoral roll, there are 2 Thomas Lathams living close together, on Bordesley Green at no 181 and 185, could be father and son, the 181 address also lists...

Annie what a great story, did you keep in touch with Tommy? Sue
