    Cookes Mary and Edward 1799

    If he was the illegitimate son of Mary Cooke then the chances are finding his father is virtually zero. However, that he is the son of Mary is also debatable. Baptism date does not always indicate the year of birth and there are other possibilities. Unless you can find a connection between...

    Iommi family

    There are a number of immigration/emigration records sets on Ancestry. The most likely one that would show them - England, Alien Arrivals - only goes up to 1869 atm. I assume a complete set is kept at the National Archives and in time may be available on Ancestry.

    Father Hugh Edmund Langton Montgomery, 1875 - 1971, priest

    That's a bit of a stretch if you're suggesting that the 2 are related. It is believed that Roger de Montgomery didn't come to England until 1067.

    BANNISTER, Mary and Martha

    Thanks, even earlier than I thought then.

    BANNISTER, Mary and Martha

    I'd almost certainly that Rebecca was the mother of Maurice, Julia & Eliza, Henry is the only doubt due to his absence in 1841 and that's a very slight one. According to another a tree on familysearch Isaac & Rebecca married in London. They list a date and a synagogue so I can only assume...

    BANNISTER, Mary and Martha

    Was the meeting with the Prince of Wales pre or post 1910, please? Future George V or Edward VIII?

    BANNISTER, Mary and Martha

    That was my first sighting of him and I then took him to be the son of Isaac even though as Chris mentions he's not with the family in 1841. I have Henry's mother as Rebecca Jacobs. She was the sister of Caroline's mother - Rebecca Jacobs - and also the sister of his Abrahams brother & sister...

    BANNISTER, Mary and Martha

    I've researched your Myers ancestors a little but I'm not totally certain that the person I have for Charles Moss Myers' father is correct. So some interesting things I've discovered may not be relevant. Jewish records are not great. Were Charles Moss Myers' parents - Henry Myers and Caroline...

    BANNISTER, Mary and Martha

    To get such extensive memories to go with the research is a welcome change and so interesting.

    John Bannister born c1799, married Martha Jewkes 2 Dec 1822 at St Thomas', Dudley. Died Oct 1862, funeral St Andrew's, Netherton 19 Oct. Address is given as Bumble Hole. And having said most of the Bannisters were miners, he was a Nailor. Martha born c1802 died in May 1865, funeral 21 May...

    BANNISTER, Mary and Martha

    A few bits if info on the early Bannisters. The earliest I can go back to with any certainty are Martha's great grandparents - John Bannister and Martha Jewkes. There are likely candidates for John's parents but I'm not certain. John and Martha had at least 89 grandchildren, 35 of the...

    Help Required WW1 Regiment

    Just speculating. Is the bottom part of the badge a powder flask? So a Rifles regiment maybe, though different regiments appear to have slightly different badges. https://www.sofmilitary.co.uk/the-rifles-regiment-original-british-army-cap-badge-firmin-sons.html

    Fisher family

    Mary Elizabeth Hick was the aunt and sister in law of the 2 Alice's I mentioned on your other thread. Her brother Thomas was their husband/father. Listed at 6 back 18 Beach St on the 1939 Register. There are 10 Fisher/Hick children registrations, so 2 must have died young (Grace & Gordon),

    Hick Family

    There is an Alice Hick, who was listed as a grocer at 16 Beach St on the 1939 register. She was the mother of an Alice (and James & Thomas) who was married previously? To a Harold Whitaker? In 1939 she is listed at 15 Beach St with 2 daughters, separate from her (1st?) husband. Not sure if I...

    Darby

    There are many birth registrations for Smith/Darby and Robinson/Darby children in Bham after their marriages but without family knowledge impossible to know if any of them are relevant. In case you didn't know... May appears to have died in 1995, reg. Chichester and Dorothy in 1981, reg. Bham.

    Bowling Green Terrace and Road off Coventry Road

    Can't help with a photo unfortunately, chances are usually not good with houses not on the 'front' of a road, but a couple of bits of info in case you don't already know. Albert was born in 1880 and only spent a handful of years in Bham, by 1885 at the latest the family were living in Warwick...

    David Morris Inkerman House and Clarence Morris

    Are you sure he didn't die in 2012? He is listed on the electoral rolls up until 2012 and there is a death reg, Mar qtr 2012 for a David John Morris, year of birth 1957.

    BANNISTER, Mary and Martha

    So definite proof that Rose did live on Harborne Road for a time. Shame about the number. I'd favour 413, partly because if it was supposed to be a 0 you would have thought they'd done a better job with the correction to show it and partly because of the name of the lady living there makes me...
