Hello Hazel. There was a Walter Thompson who played in The Carlton Dance Orchestra, my relative, Richard Marson, was the vocalist in the 1950/60s. Only thing is, I am sure Walter played the drums? Walter was Richard Marson's nephew.

Martin, several friends of mine worked at Lawton's in Doris Road when we left school in 1955/6. I am still in touch with them today. They all lived on The Bordesley Green.

Thank you for taking the time to reply to my post. I agree with MWS that I think the one you mention is a different John Henry Peacock to the one MWS found. I maybe a little closer to finding my John Henry, but still needs more proof. But thank you again for your time.

Thanks again MWS for your info, I had ruled out that John Henry as I had been lead to believe he was born in Aston. But now I have your info there are a few things that tie in, although tenuous First, I know John Henry's father was John Peacock from John Henry's marriage certificate, also, his...

Thank you MWS for your info, and, taking the time and trouble to reply. It's my mistake for not been clearer, I should have said, I was looking for info before the marriage of John Henry Peacock in 1903, as there is no trace of his birth in 1882 (or near it, that's if he came from Bham or...

Hi Martin I too am new to this site. With regard to Lawtons, they were in Doris Road at least until the late 1950s because 4 friends of mine worked there when they left school in 1955/6. I believe they evenually moved to Warstoke Lane near the Maypole, but not 100% sure. My friends are still...
