Haha Tom, there is always trouble in there, i always drank in there at one point, my nan lived in Pomeroy Rd and my father who is on Modbury was always propping up the bar, i have some mates who still drink there, and my younger brother worked there for a time, but i haven't been in there for...

Just giving this a nudge up incase anyone else has any bright ideas, you clever lot managed to crack my last brick wall :)

Thanks Ladylinda, intersting she gives that address on her marriage, but where was she in 1911? and where was her dad? her parents don't die until atleast 1930's.

1901 Census shows my gt Grandmother Beatrice Higham born Birmingham aged 8 living Cheapside with her Parents John 1859 and Phoebe born 1859 (Brettell Jane??Worcs) with sister Emily 1895 other siblings include John 1878, Henry 1880-1883, Emily 1883, now there is a big gap there between births, so...

Chris so sorry to hear of the sad loss of your mother, my thoughts are with you all at this time, deepest condolences Claire and family x

Was listening to that earlier, it's very good, i love the under the mistletoe i'd rather kiss a brummie line lol Can't stop humming it now, it's very catchy and a bargain price :)

Had a look threw Army records, i can't find one for him unfortunately.

There is one Harry born 1894 Walsall on 1901, he is listed as son of James and Martha Hayes.

They married 1915 in Walsall, just checking 1901 to see what i can find under Harry/Henry what's his dads name off the marriage certificate? and i'll recheck Army online Records too later.

Is it just the Military stuff you want or are you looking to work back on your tree too? i'm looking to see if i can find an army record online for you, can you give me as much info as you can on his father please (full name rough DOB last nown address), you never know, his record may have survived.

I was right, it did used to be Ritzy, just asking mates now if they have any old pics floating around of it for you.

Found this on google, not much help, but we have some real buffs on here who know there Military Stuff who will no doubt help you further 5th and 6th (Reserve) Battalions August 1914 : in Winchester. Depot/training units, they moved on mobilisation to Sheerness and remained in this area...

I think Zanzibar was the same if i remember rightly, it had a tropical themed room, a kind of stone age one, and a modern dance/hip hop room at the back, it was (although i may be wrong) the first club to do that, followed later by Oceana, it was previously Ritzy i think and some other names...

If you go onto google, click images and type in Oceana Birmingham there's quite a few on there you could use.

Was that the one with 4 rooms, each one themed?

That's a shame, up until a few years ago my mate was running the Yard of Ale, it always did well, do you know why it's closed?

Re: William & Martha Chadwick No problem Mike, every little thing is worth following up :) hopefully someting else will turn up, i'm going to scout Ancestry today, see if i can't find more info from War records.

Re: William & Martha Chadwick Thanks Mike, i bet thats her, she's obviously chopping and changing her name for reasons i may never know, but she would have had to register her business, so i thought i'd have to find her threw them somehow....now i know why i'm not finding them lol Do you have...

Re: William & Martha Chadwick Thanks smtr, not finding a marriage for them anywere, two possible Thomas's one a Thomas H, could stand for Harvey, will see if i can trace both sets of parents back, there has to be a connection here, just what? lol

Re: William & Martha Chadwick Smtr, can you post the full details of the 1911 for Arthur please, i'm going to chase him up now and see where he fits in, seems more then coincidence to me, i am just wondering if one of his parents is linked to my family :)
