Hi Wendy...I will put the pics in the post. Hope the committee can use them for the display on the next open day. All the best, Florence :)

Hi lerryngal, re your post #7....The unmistakable Barbara Streisland double is still around and hardly looks any different!...I see her from time to time. Around 12 months ago, she was trading from one of those centre aisle stalls in Touchwood in Solihull. About 3 months ago, I saw her working...

Hi Wendy. Just read your message. We were away for the weekend.... I'd be happy for you to use the photo's etc for the display....Have you got any Tranter advert pics? if not, I can post to you. Regards, Florence :)

You certainly don't waste time Wendy....Thanks for putting the photo's of William Tranter on here for the archives.... Great to see the family grave at Key Hill open day today. Florence :)

Hiya Wendy...It was great meeting you at the cemetery today. So glad I caught you in time before you left! I asked around if there were any other forum members, but they'd either gone home or were seeking out their ancestors graves....Enjoyed a lovely afternoon there. Florence :)

Thats marvellous Wendy, thank you. Sarah and Jeremiah don't ring a bell, but you never know if they might turn up with further research....Hoping to get to Key Hill tomorrow. We're really looking forward to seeing the cemetery for the first time. All the best, Florence :)

Hi Wendy...Thank you so much for the inscription. It has filled in a few gaps for me....Pleased that today went well at Key Hill. Florence :)

Hello Lindsey...I have read your very interesting post #21 on the Mitchells and Butlers thread. Sorry, I've never heard any story relating to a William, Jane, and son Elijah Samuel Tranter handed down in my family....Going a bit further back though, could you tell me who Williams grandfather...

Hi Wendy...Glad to know you received the copies safe and sound. Please feel free to do anything you wish with them.... Hope the open day goes okay. All the best....Florence :)

Hi Wendy...On the Mitchells and Butlers thread, in your post #9 you mention that you are trying to put some information together on people who are buried at Key Hill cemetery. I've just learned from Handsworth cemetery that my g/uncle, William Tranter (Birmingham gun maker), is buried there in...

On her death certificate, my Grandma died at 1, Western Road in 1931....Can anyone tell me whether it was Western Road Hospital then?....I need accurate information because my husband is penning a hand drawn copy of my family tree.... Lucky aint I! Many thanks...Florence :)

Thanks very much for that info llamafarmer....Just added it to my favourites...Florence :)

Thanks Maurice...Much appreciated Florence :)

Could someone check 44, Pershore Street in 1845 please. Was it a private residence or commercial.... And who was there? Thank you. Florence :)

Re: Derelict Church Restoration I like the picture Maurice....Just back off holiday so I haven't seen the restoration progress for the past couple of weeks....I'll have a look when I next pass. Florence :)

Hello Astonian...So very sorry to hear about your family troubles. I do hope there will be a positive outcome for your sister. How fortunate all the pics and memorabilia were given to your brother rather than being thrown out. So often these valuable family items somehow get 'lost' over the...

Re: Derelict Church Restoration Hi Maurice...Passed the church today. The roofers have been replacing the damaged tiles with reclaimed ones by the look of it. The building is already starting to look more cared for... All the best....Florence :)

Hi Astonian...I've only just started helping my friend research her Grandparents, so we haven't come across much at all. If we do find anything on Harry Levene, I will let you know....What a fascinating story about your Mother, Grandmother and the monkey. I'd love to write that up for inclusion...

Maurice.... Enjoyed looking at the forum link - and the pics Phil. They kind of bring the Palace back to life. I'll bet it was wonderful in it's heyday. Florence :)

Very nice pics Frothblower and Dave M... Dave M...Thankfully there's not ALWAYS only one way. See my new thread Derelict Church Restoration. Florence :)
