Hi Everyone, Hoping that I can now upload documents 4 in total. Ellen Wheeler (my nan) marriage certificate This shows her home address as 99 Grantham Road - not sure why here? This shows her fathers occupation - Church Metal Worker? This shows that her sister Florence was a witness George...

Hi Janice the docs are in WORD. yes, I also think that Dymock and Dymoke are the same. Still having trouble getting a trace for Florence at the address. I always new my nan as Ellen. I think she as called Nell by close older friends. It was only on starting family tree that I have found out...

Hi everyone, Just received George's death certificate. This shows that he died at Selly Oak Hospital but resided at 145 Alcester Street (Rowton House). It also describes his occupation as a Brass Dresser. This fits with other descriptions over the years, on the 1911 census it also states brass...

if this Lily wheeler is correct it could mean she didn't remarry. Or couldn't remarry as no trace of a divorce

i have got George's death certificate on order. Did ask for Lily, but this was when I was told that this was a child. So realised that dates were wrong. May try the new date for Lily's death and marriage for florence

hi Lyn not got Florence's marriage certificate just the index reference. On Ellen's in 1929 I think it reads as church metal worker

Hi Lyn florence married William b tuzzio in jun 1933 ellen mary married john victor 11.04.1929 doris died 17.12.1926

I also had an address of albert cottages, brougham street (attached). As this is where the 3 girls went I thought he may have took lodging close by. I have received a response from Sisters of Mercy (see below) and shows that they were admitted on 7th October 1912. But then this admission...

Well this has opened up a can of worms! I have George Frederick Wheeler b1877. He was on the 1911 census with the family living at Tower Street. The age of 36 appears to confirm this. His marriage on 4.12.1898 also states his age at 21 which calculates correctly. I had originally thought he...

Now that makes more sense. But George did leave money to Florence not Lily so something may have happened. I have emailed St Mary's and will let you know what they say. I have one remaining living uncle (a son of Ellen) but unfortunately he does not have the full story either. He thinks that...

This is fantastic progress. Many thanks to all. I am glad that this appears to be work related rather than hard times. How can I get this confirmed? Glad to see that George stayed close for awhile. If he moved to Rowton in 1925 this was 3 years before Ellen got married. However I am still...

Hi Lyn I will keep you up to date. Just adding the Tuzzio family to Ancestry to see what comes up next. George Wheeler did die in 1928 and did leave money to Florence. It is a mystery as to why or how this was possible. There is another member of this forum (SheronB) who was looking for the...

Dear Alberta Thank you for the information. I will update my family tree and see what else links in. Where did you find this data as I have not been able to trace Florence through Ancestry very well. Jane

Hi Astoness, Thank you so much for all the information. I will start making further checks and email them as you suggest. I think I may see a little chink of light at the end of the tunnel.

Thank you MWS - I will see if I can get a copy of the death certificate and find out if this has any more clues.

Hi all Just stumbled across this discussion, but unfortunately the original photo is not showing. I was just wondering if it could be the old Castle Bromwich Aerodrome - now Castle Vale estate.
