There's a death reg. for a Mary A Hill Mar qtr 1959 Bham. There is a burial on the Bham bereavement site for a Mary Hill at Lodge Hill Feb 1959. No other details and they don't list middle name/initial in the search results so no idea if it's her. There is no other death reg. in that qtr for a...

All the back to backs of inner city Bham have gone and many roads have been altered so you're lucky if you find a relevant pre 1950s building still standing. Yes, the family seem to have lived at 284 Brearley St for some years and when John & Florence married or soon after they appear to have...

Probably been there for just a few years at most, moving from Brearley St. The lived at 1 court 46 which was the back house to no. 284 where John's father and brother lived. Just a short distance from where my step mom's mom lived at no. 246.

Yes, John William Rogers 1888 - 1968. He could done perhaps.

The siblings all seem to be full siblings and their parents seem to have only marriage each other as far as I can see, Edna's father was John William.

Families are strange and there are always rumours about people falling out. There are 6 other Rogers/Cooper (Florence's maiden name) birth registrations apart from Edna - Elizabeth, Evelyn, John, Florence, Frederick & Vera. The middle 4 were definitely siblings and I suspect the other 2 were as...

Rogers isn't great but it could be worse, it could be Smith (my nan), Davies or Jones. Edna Rogers 1931 - 2015?

Lambe is probably one of those names that is probably recorded as Lamb as often as it is Lambe. Took another shot at your Lambe ancestors and pretty sure I got the right ones this time as eventually the Treacy Villas address appeared on a record.

Wasn't it Cook St that used to be Trafalgar Road?

I certainly seem to have taken a wrong step with your Lambe ancestors, so those houses have no relevance. A fairly unusual name, a couple of coincidences and you're tracing the wrong person. :(

Tracking Irish relatives can be tricky, there just aren't as many records available. Making the jump from English born descendants to 1911 Ireland is not always possible, as I found with 2 brothers in law's ancestors. And think I may have jumped the gun a little with only circumstantial...

A little bit of a guess (from your maternal side, Lambe?) ignore if wrong, but here are a couple of houses still standing (neither Bham). First one was occupied in 1939 (no.13) and the second in 1911 (no. 3), though depends if you think it's that one is that old...

The further you go back the greater the likelihood of that being the case, especially in the poorer parts of cities and towns. People bemoan the changes but I can't imagine anyone willing to change their house now for a back to back with an outside toilet that their great grandparents etc may...

Bartons Arms is about the only building still remaining. Roads have changed, High St has been widened and the row of buildings containing no. 81 would have been where the northbound carriageway is. It doesn't have the exact alignment but St Stephen's close is where Whitehead St was.

Hopefully this links to an old map overlaying a modern one. Change transparency (bottom left) to compare... https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=18.4&lat=52.50038&lon=-1.89687&layers=168&b=ESRIWorld&o=90

No, that would have actually have been 81 New Town Row by Manchester Street. 81 High St would have been on the opposite side, out of town past Bartons Arms (on the right). Whitehead St was possibly close to St Stephen's Drive.

Maria Iommi (the wife of Nicola) is listed in the 1939 trade directory as running Coffee Rooms at 169 Booth St.

No worries, it all adds to the topic. And it looks as if those Verrecchias at least came from a town in the same province (Frosinone) - Vallerotonda which is about 15 miles from Sora.

On the 1911 census there is a Mary Veraca (Verrecchia) listed as an ice cream vendor. She's born in Italy but not listed as Sora, which is the reason Verrecchia wasn't listed. I don't know of Tony is a descendant.
