My father-in-law, Norman Benson, worked at Cadbury's in Bournville and then moved to Typhoo Tea in Bradford Street. (Did Cadbury's buy Typhoo?). He was an electrician and worked shifts at Typhoo untill he was made redundant when they closed.

I was a "Saurday Girl" in 1966 as I was still at school. I worked on the ground floor in skirts. I remember Miss Winspear but I don't know what her position was. My mom used to work at C&A (coats an' 'ats!) in the mid-40s and Miss. Winspear worked at C&A then. I don't think C&A was actually...

Does anyone remember Sam and Jean Landlord and Landlady of the Ringers. Not sure when they retired but they went to live in one of the flats in Sheldon Heath Road near the Radleys.

You may have to think about buying a copy of the marriage certificate. I did look on the 1841 census but there are too many Maria Smith's to know which is the correct one. The marriage certificate will give you address at time of marriage, occupation and both father's names and occupations.

Are you looking for anyone in particular? Do you have any names or dates. Doing a very quick and general search there are quite a few Tonry's listed on census returns. There is a James Tonry born abt 1868 in Wolverhampton, living in Sparkhill on the 1911 census. If you can give a little...

I don't remember the anme Crowthers, but I remember the shop very well. I bought a wonderful pink skirt with buckles each side from there. It was definately on a corner somewhere in Corporation Street. It was a lovely shop and I wonder if it was in the building which is now the Alliance and...

Was the "junk" shop the one opposite the newsagents which I think was called Copes, (used to get needles for the wind up gramophone from there). If it was I used to go to school with the son from that shop. Can't remember his name but I am sure he had ginger hair!

Have you got a copy of the marriage certificate? That will give you addresses at time of marriage and parents names if it would help you.

I haven't been able to find anything on the 1911 census. Thinking about my own grandparents I can tell you that they never married but my nan took grand-dad's name and all the children (8 of them) were registered in his name. As your dad was Leslie James and his brother also James, it stands a...

I went to Adderley School in the late 50's/early 60's. I am sure 3M was in Arden Road on the other side to the park, I used to walk through the park to school from Ash Road. I remember the Morris Commercial Car Social Club, was in Bordesley Green Road. There was a fire late one night which...

Found something - William G Eaton -m- Clara George, June Qtr 1912 registered in West Bromwich, Staffordshire Maurice R Eaton born Mar Qtr 1914 registered Aston, Birmingham

The only birth registration I can find of a William Eaton (no mention of George) is in the June Qtr of 1890 in Birmingham. Seems too late to be your Wiliiam if he was born at the end of October 1889. I also looked for a George Eaton but found nothing at all. Where did you find his birth date?
