As there is no age associated wit the burial or the directory then there's no certainty that either is the correct William. Circumstantial only but there is death reg. in Windsor Jun 1888 for a William Oldham of about the right age. There doesn't appear to be a matching William on the 1881...

I can only see mention of a birth for a Margaret O'Dair/Odair in England/Wales and she is reg. Hartlepool in 1905, so in the general area of the article.

I think there's a mention of a Miss Peggy O'Dair in the Berwick Advertiser 1 Oct 1925.

Is that (East Africa) Heavy Anti-Aircraft Regiment?

Another HS2 video (they seem to be popping up quite often now) and this one is much more professional than the previous one. Of Curzon St again but goes down 'the line' past Curzon no. 2 viaduct which still has to be slid into it's final position I think...

In WWI soldiers could have different numbers, if they changed regiments for example. I wouldn't be surprised if the practice continued. I thought it was a relative straightforward process to get later service records for a deceased person.

It is nice that they've attempted to reflect the industrial heritage in the design but to me it looks like someone designed a stadium and then someone else came along and added the chimneys afterwards. Don't like it. And when are the Blues likely to get 62000?

I assume that the above 2 photos are of Shaftmoor Farm rather than Greetmill Hill Farm, which was also on Shaftmoor Lane. It seems to fit, map from 1913 arrow pov of first photo...

A couple of possible sightings on the censuses for Charles after 1891. Most likely is listed with a Poly/Polly Clarke in 1911 and 1921. In 1911 he is listed in Bham as Thomas b1862 Hckley (sic), a carpenter and in 1921 in Bham again as Charles S b1860 Birmingham, a carpenter. There is also a...

Sorry, there is a William Clarke of the right age at 148 Durham Road. I didn't notice the different number, doubt he is the brother then as he dies in London.

He's at the Durham address on the 1939 Register listed as Tom C, with his brother (Victor) William.

Not sure but he may be with his father, step mother and sister, Lily, in Balsall Heath. Age for Charles, Harry and Lily match. Charles is listed as a die sinker. Is that similar enough to a stamper?

If you can trace them to the 1939 Register then that will give dobs, though it's not always correct. Failing that it would be birth certficates. To start with, Florence who is actually Harriet Florence appears to marry an Alfred Watson and on the 1939 Register (11 Partons Road) she gives her...

Harry appears to be listed as Press Toolmaker and address appears to be Phillips St. You may only be able to get his exact dob from his birth certificate.

A video of the work on Aston Church Road and I think it's safe to say that the supposed December re-opening has zero chance of happening.

Apologies Lyn. I inferred that Keith suggested that the original photo was much earlier but the same dress seems to imply the same time?

Apologies if I've got the wrong end of the stick but isn't the lady in post #1 and post #41 wearing the same dress?

Sad news indeed. This site will be a poorer place without him.

A couple of bits of luck - Agnes' parents, Patrick & Mary married just after registration began, Jun 1938 Bham. And on the 1871 census Agnes is with her widowed mother and she gives her birthplace as County Mayo. Here is the Catholic listing for Patrick and Mary's marriage, though there's...

Her birth is reg. as Agness Connor, Jun qtr 1848 mmn O Hara - vol. 16 page 334.
