Bhatti, Reading your email dated January 2018 - did you find anything about Mr. Tennant? His son went to school with my brother (Saltley Grammar)

Are you Graham's brother? Did you live in the maisonettes on the church side of Ash Road, up the top nearer Arden Road? I left Cherrywood Christmas 1966. Half way through my Year 5 When I was there Mr. Jackson took us for English. Mr Hughes for Mathes, Miss Oldbury for RE. She also used to...

I don't suppose anyone would remember Harry Hakesley. He worked at Wimbushes for most of his working life. Lived in Wroxton Road, Yardley and on the 1939 register he is a Baker/Doughmixer although I remember him telling me that he used to deliver bread with a horse and cart. He died around...

Does anyone remember the fires on November 5th and the firework displays they used have every year in Small Heath Park? Also wasn't it originally given to Birmingham by one of the Cadbury's? (Same as Beacon Hill at the Lickeys?)

my nan wasn't married (well she was but that's another story). She left Sydenham Road when she was unable to care for herself, went to live with a daughter of hers and died in the 1970's. Did you mean Mrs. Merchant marrying Lol?

Was Joseph Senior just Joseph or Joseph Frank or Joseph Frederick? Trying to find a birth registration for him around 1979 in Birmingham. Any idea of his DOB? Do you know he definitely died in 1966?

Could Leah have remarried after the death of Soloman? (1936 Leah Ensor -m- Arthur J Thompson, Birmingham)

There is a Soloman Ensor who died of his wounds in WW1. Husband of Elizabeth Ensor of 3/15 New John St. West, Newtown Row, Birmingham. Service number 17055, 11th Bn. Worcester Reg. Also found a Soloman and Elizabeth on the 1911 census with Soloman (son) age 8. Soloman Snr is a Pearl Button...

Soloman died September Quarter 1929 Birmingham N. 6d 481. Perhaps it may be worth obtaining his death certificate as this should give the cause of death.

Do you mean Heathfield Hall which was in Handsworth. Was also called Heathfield House too. Any other info for Richard? Date/place of birth, census records? If he is on the 1841 or 1851 census it may give an occupation.

Mother in Law has lived in Yardley (near the Yew Tree) most of her life and remembers the raid in Vera Road. My husband's Step-Grandfather was a Policeman on duty at Hay Mill Police Station when houses in Gleneagles Road were completely demolished. This was 24th August 1940. On the 12...

You can change the font but you will find that the tree will be printed on more than one sheet of paper. It is a bit awkward sticking it together but I overlap to make it a bit easier to cut. I always use a steel rule and a scalpel to cut, scissors are not really any good. You can change...

I keep an old copy of FTM 2004 (and an old computer on which to run it!). Not sure about FTM 2005 but with 2004 you can print the tree however your wish and include what facts you want too. You just have to fiddle with the settings.

Is anyone associated with the shed in Kings Heath Park? We were in Birmingham last week-end and a friend of ours, who is on the committee there, took us to have a look. Great place and amazing work done by the members.

I used to live at 1009 Coventry Road. There were four cottages alongside the Hay Mills Tavern. All owned by M&B and demolished around the mid 1970's.

Sure there are/a photo somewhere on this forum for Cox Street West as I have printed something out for my mother in law. Her family lived at 37 from 1871 - 91 and operated the business of Photographic Apparatus Cabinet Makers from that address

A friend of mine lives on the Moor Pool Estate in Harborne which was established by Nettlefold. I have visited Winterbourne House and there is a plan of the Moor Pool Estate in one of the rooms in the house. Also my father-in-law worked at GKN for a while.

We used to get on the bus that went along Bristol Road to the Lickey's. When we got off the bus there was an arcade with "one armed bandits" and "The Laughing Policeman" outside. I had a look on Google maps just to see where it all was but it has changed so much and I can't remember. Does...

I remember the Ice Cream Man used to come down Hall Road to the corner of Ask Road. Every night at 8.45 on the dot. He sold the soft ice cream, the only place I think you could get it was the ice cream man. (I know now that it is nothing like real ice cream). By the way the name 99 comes...

Does anyone remember the machine when you put a penny in you could get a small metal strip with your name punched out. Also there was a BIG hole, I think it may have been lined with concrete. Never knew what it was, just another good place to pay!
