Confused about this.....lol

Wow thanks for this. I always thought the 1st ground was where Alexander Stadium is. You live and learn....

Unusually for me (ha ha) I have been know to moan for years about the state of walkways in Brum....they get a few blocks up and either just leave them piled up around holes or put them back all over the place......with all the uneven surfaces and the bikes/scooters it was safer when you shared...

Yes I have the burial in Alvechurch but wanted a cert off GRO but nothing showing.

Wow thank you Mikejee. As i say it doesn't show on Ancestry or FMP but the info on these cutting is are brilliant as it shows date and living in Alvechurch...working around Redditch and the one from Long Crendon confirms where he was born.This man is the likely candidate for being the father of...
