Thanks from me too Phil,...for me it's been a trip down memory lane of going to my Nan and Grandads in Rubery on the bus once a fortnight for many years as a child, with my Mom and Brother...getting the 58 or 60 from Sheldon into town, going through the market to get fresh haddock (for when we...

Hi Wendy, just wondering if you have a library card for Birmingham, I've had a quick look on the online newspaper site, just with the search term "Philip Webley" and there are about 57 articles for the name..havent checked them all but many I think, refer to your Philip Additional Info there is...

Thats a great find Diane :)

Diane, I don't know if this is your Annie but on Find My Past there is a burial recorded for Annie Maria Dyas in 1933(from Ancestry>born 1859) The registration number is 55250 and there are 3 in the grave. This is at Key Hill cemetery so Key Hill Brian may be able to help you with more info on...

I found the same as Lynne, she was in The Workhouse Infirmary, Western Road, Birmingham. I think it is possibly the same lady because in 1901, as Lydia Dyas she is with her parents, Edward and Annie Marie Dyas and she was also recorded as a Jewellers Solderer.

I still have my Nans Be-Ro and McDougalls books but they will soon be going to a new bookshelf because my youngest son is moving to pastures new and has requested said books :( Yes Viv Be-ro was a brand of flour and I am sure I saw it recently in a supermarket.

Thanks Bernie :) No worries Amanda :) Great photos Brummie Rose :)

Hi Amanda, Just noticed your post on the home page...it is probably best to remove your email address from your post as anyone can look in on the site..better to send it by private message I think. :)

Thanks carolina, :encouragement: it certainly does.. I didnt realise either..just a shame that they don't actually become rich till they've passed on and more of a shame is that they depart this life alone..

I love to watch Heir Hunters (and would love to be one) but I don't get chance of a morning because of being at work, so I'm really grateful for iPlayer !! I decided to watch one this week and thought just for a bit of practise, I would stop the programme and see what I could find out about the...

Congratulations to you all :encouragement:..wonderful news !!

Sarunte43, I'm sorry but I do not know how to access his records but I did find a newspaper article from 1900 by using my library card to access the newspaper archives, which I believe may refer to Luther and his brother Joseph...I can let you have the details if you would like them. Also there...

From a quick search on the web, it may stand for Community

:) Thanks Bernie, I've enjoyed the challenge.

Hi Bernie, Sorry about the delay.. I've been to the library today and picked up a copy of "Discovering Bickenhill" by V H T Skipp which is a book put together by a research group in the 1960's. It says of Inns, "The three Bickenhill inns shown on the 1839 Tithe map retain their signs, although...

Shortie, I think that's wonderful to have them all together (does that sound odd ?) I think that Emma married a John Henry Street in the Dec 1/4 of 1870, St Giles, 1b 743. They were lodging in Nova Scotia Street (George and Dragon Yard ?), St Peter's Ward, Birmingham (the writing isnt very good)...

Hi Shortie, :encouragement: good to know I had found the same one as you..For reasons that you know of, I haven't been spending much time on the pc of late, so its good to be able to dust off the 'research mode cobwebs' occasionally , just to keep my grey matter going !! Do you know where...

Hi Shortie, Hope you don't mind but I had a quick look for Emma, I think she may have died in 1893, age 43, buried Key Hill, reg number 38331. Her Daughter Clara, possibly married Thomas James Stevens, living in Northfield in 1901.. I can give you more details on that if you want them.
