Bertha is only 28 years old, so this would be perhaps a second marriage?

The only death record I can find (Free BMD) is Edward Smith September quarter 1910, Birmingham age 81.

There is an Edward Smith on the 1891 census living with Bertha, his wife and children Florence & Ada. The address is 32 Victoria Road, Aston. Edward is recorded as being 63 years old, born Birmingham Warwickshire and is a Printer and Stationer. Could this be your Gt. Gt. grandfather?

Mrs. Merchant lived at number 31 Sydenham Road. This is the lady my nan exchanged houses with. I am not sure why nan agreed to exchange as the house was exactly the same as the one she lived in Stretton Grove. I lived in Saltley and used to get the number 8 bus every other Sunday to visit...

Sure I have mentioned this before, but does anyone remember the cheese factory that used to be in Adderley Road?

I lived in Ash Road from about 1955 to 1967 in the blocks of flats that were built opposite Hall Road. They are not there now, been demolished to make way for more housing. There were only 18 flats in three blocks and we all fairly large gardens. I had a friend who lived in Hams Road and we...

That was 1963 (according to Frank Ifield's web site). He was appearing in Mother Goose. My dad worked at the BSA and I used to go to the Christmas paries. However when I reached the age of 12 I was allowed to go to the Pantomime instead. I remember my mom took me to Armoury Road to get on...

Olive was the step-sister of my nan (Laura Pagett). She lived in the first house in Sydenham Road coming from Walford Road. She married John H Parsons and had four children, I have found the births and possible marriages of all of them. However I would like to try and find any children of...

I lived in the ground floor flat at 155. There were three blocks of flats and I presume they were built on a bomb site. I used to play in the church yard which was over the road. I also worked for Mrs. Cutts, who had the grocer's shop down the road towards Adderley Road. I went to Adderley...

I have just been speaking to mother-in-law (who used to have the newsagents at 212 Church Road). She still lives in Yardley near the Yew Tree. I lived at 3 Wroxton for just three years in 1977 - 80. MIL still keeps in touch with David Ward, he lived at 37 Wroxton not number 3. She knew the...

Re: sunlamp treatment I think there is another thread on the forum about Sunray treatment as I am sure I have made an entry. I went for ages to Sheep Street clinic in the city. Every Friday afternoon (which was typical as it was the afternoon that we didn't do lessons but were able to take...

berniew - any ideas when the photo of Ask Road might have been taken? We can just make out the Post Office Tower in the background and know that was built in 1961. Judging by the lack of cars in the picture, it is probably between 1961-1965.

The photo of Ash Road shows the flats I used to live in. The block on the left. We lived at number 1 which is the flat on the ground floor on the left side. Next door in the house was Mr & Mrs Payne. I used to stand on their wall, ring their bell and run away. I used to play in the church...

Stretton Grove is still there. It is the only Grove left and was renovated. If anyone knows the area of old, there were lots of groves off Sydenham and Walford Roads. My nan lived at number 3 from about 1937 to the late 60's when she exchanged with a Mrs merchant who lived in Sydenham Road, a...

I would like to know if anyone lived or lives in Stretton Grove, in Sydenham Road.

I used to go to Cherrywood School in Burbage Road, Holden's was on the corner and Hughes opposite. You can imagine the smell of the baking mixed with the paint making! My friends aunt and uncle used live in the house which was part of the factory on the main road. Her uncle was a caretaker...

Is this the Patrick who on the 1891 census was living in Constitution Hill with his wife Mary Noone and her father John Noone. Patrick is listed as being a Brass Turner. Patrick and Mary married in September quarter 1890. I think the only way to find the grave at Key Hill is to probably write...

I lived in Ash Road, Saltley and spent many a Sunday afternoon going "all the way round" on the Inner Circle. Sometimes, if we hadn't paid our fare by the time the conductor changed, we used to tell them we had only just got on and only pay back to our stop!

I have a Birmingham in 70's book and there I am walking across Temple Row dressed in my Maxi Coat!
