Yes, employers' names are not a lot of use as they don't appear on official documents, or very very rarely. Maurice :cool:

Steve, The nearest entry I can find to his birth date is on the 1891 Census - Fred Samson son of Edward & Mary Ann SAMSON of 3 House 27 Court Camden Street. His father was a blacksmith, mother not working and he had 5 older siblings. Maurice :cool:

Bob, I'm very out of date with all this mobile stuff, never having had an occasion to use it. But if you want to go direct from the scanner to tablet, the thing that seems to be missing is a driver for the scanner on the tablet. Maurice :cool:

Mrs Bear, You're obviously aware of the copyright issue and copyright almost always remains with the photographer. The other thing is that if the photographs are going to be used to promote your business, you must make the copyright owner aware of this, and he/she may wish to charge a fee for...

Jim, My late wife's grandfather, Alfred Charles Farmer, was given 6 strokes of the birch for his part in this bit of petty thievery in which he was deemed to be the "mastermind":- I don't think it did him any harm and he certainly never offended again. In fact, he was one of the founder...

Nor mine, Richard - not even close! Maurice :cool:

We have places here in Crete that are over £900 a night in the summer and still no free drinks voucher! :cool: Snap it up quick, Mike! And the jewellers' shops never show price tickets on the basis that if you have to ask the price then you can't afford it! Maurice :cool:

My middle son had picked up the mild swear word from school and had been told off for using it, which really got up his nose. He fished out his cheap Tonka toy copies, which had the brand name "Buddy L", and from then on, whenever he felt like swearing, he would wander around clutching one of...

Viv, Not sure whether this part of Xenforo would allow you to customise it. It seems that it comprises the image name, your login name, and the date & time it was posted. You can change the name of the file before you post, but it will still have the .jpg or .png extension. Maurice :cool:

Den, Lou has not logged on since the day she joined last June, and Steve not since the year before. Welcome to the Forum, but you may not hear from either of them on here. Maurice :cool:

Thanks for that, Phil, nicely showing the corner of Syren Works. Maurice :cool:

Jan/James, I went to College Road, both Infants and Juniors on that corner site in the 1940s. Depending on the results of your 11 Plus, you then ended up in what was the Moseley Secondary Modern further up College Road or grammar school. Maurice :-)

Good work, Mike. That was not amongst the 107 images I found online. They were obviously produced in large numbers as they seem to appear regularly on eBay and other sites, and one seller on eBay sold 9 of them for as little as £3.50 the lot. The postage probably cost more! So you're obviously...

Good luck with that, Mike. I found the rather small images of 107 issues but couldn't find a good match with any of them. Not a lot of detail in the image of the one on David Trevor's lap. At least no hat to worry about. Maurice :cool:

Janice, Ah, corner of Washington Street & Upper Gough Street - I thought that Ridley Street went straight across - my mistake! I've taken the picture out of my code and substituted the 50's map, but now need to FTP the changes onto the site. They were certainly there in September 1929 because...

Janice, Thanks for those maps - so Genton's were on the corner of Washington Street and Ridley Street and had become a car park by 1969. So I must remove that image from the Genton article and hope that someone might find some earlier ones. I was too far down Washington Street, I'm afraid...

Hi PapaPedro, Welcome to the Forum. Kelly's Directory has then as being their in 1933 and the business had ceased by the end of WW2. So I can't be 100% sure that those were the buildings that they actually occupied. I had a walk around there around 2000, but there was no evidence at that time...

Yes, Mike, I copied it into Wordpad then added the extension. Xenforo doesn't let you add bits to a link, but you did it just the same. Maurice :cool:

John, It just needs .html added to the link. One of the mods could do it. Maurice :cool:

Rosemary, See post #6 Maurice :cool:
