There should not be a problem with you getting your library ticket in due course. The only B'ham newspaper online seems to be the B'ham post...I still need to visit B'ham library to view the B'ham Mail on film. Regards, Margaret.

I made it into B'ham library today at long last for a flying visit. So I looked up the 1880 QS for the info regarding GEORGE MINCHIN in the B'ham Mail, he was given 9 months hard labour for theft from a dwelling house ( I had an awful feeling he was one of mine) ! Thankfully he wasn't....but he...

Yes, Laurabelle your memory serves you right. We lived at the 3rd house behind the shop, all our houses were 2 up 2 down, & we shared the outside loo with our next door neighbours. The houses opposite us ( up a couple of steps) were over 3 stories, but they had a celler as well...but once again...

We were busy with our own shindig at the other end of Greenway Street, & it was very odd thing that we did not mix very much with folk at the top end of the street, perhaps it was because we would have gone to different schools? I never understood the "us & them" attitude to be honest. skylark

Hello Laurabelle, your relatives must have had the shop at No 6 Greenway Street (we lived in the terrace behind the shop). skylark
