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...

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...

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

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),

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...

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.

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...

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.

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...

I just can't see Rose on any record living on Harborne Road. From 1921 onwards she is at 10 Wheeleys Road and then at 18 Pereira Road. She is not there on the 1940 ER and the people who are, are also listed there on the 1939 Register. Unfortunately, there are no electoral rolls then until...

I don't mind tangents. If requests get a bit more involved I sometimes do a bit of a tree to keep track of people and then if I find something interesting (which is more often than not) I look deeper and the tree grows. Your tree is interesting, Chris, made more so by yours and your brother's...

I don't know why she was there but I still think it's a possibility. The year is wrong but the month of birth matches the reg. and she is single. Rose (Sarah Rose) and all her sister are mostly listed under their second name.

I'd guess the tannery came later. It says in the articles that a plan of the land may be seen... I wonder if that plan still exists somewhere.

Here's the map from 1839. No doubt a bit more built up but there's a burial ground marked (bottom right) beyond the Mill Pool...

Maurice & Ida of Harborne Road were the parents of Stanley Myers... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Myers

That's a different Maurice Myers. Rose's brother, Maurice, never married and died in 1933.

On 1921 census Rose is at the 10 Wheeleys Road address with a brother (Maurice) and a sister (Jullia). She appears to be there subsequently (1925 & 1930) also.

I've had a look but all I've done is eliminate possibilities. Is Birmingham, England a place of birth or a residence because if it's the latter then he could have been born anywhere in England, or beyond. Engineer is also not very helpful as it can be used for a number of, unrelated...

On the 1939 register (findmypast) Rose appears to be listed at 183 Loyells (Lozells?) Road.

Slightly on a tangent and with reference to the photo of Mary Parkes (post #35). There is a tree on familysearch (not sure if I've mentioned it before) which has photos of Mary Bannister & George Walter Wilson and is possibly by a descendant of Annie Bannister. This tree has Mary Parkes'...
