Some of the posts on here are so sad to read and have brought me to tears. I have no idea what it must be like to be adopted and to go through life wondering and hoping and then to be so cruelly disappointed. My search is for my Great Grandfather who I cannot find any information on. My...

obviously modelled on my Husband!!!!

Hello, I don't know if this is of any help but there is a similar thread on Rootschat.com about 53 Wake Green Road, Moseley and the Crozier's, so you may want to take a look and see if anything there might help you on your search. Good luck.

Wonder what Gryff Rhys Jones is doing there? (centre)#398

Oh, I hope I haven't spoiled it for you, Maria! It's definately much better than the other film , Hush Hush, Sweet Charlotte which we also watched. They were 2 very unhappy and insecure ladies despite their fame and fortune. Sad, really. CHINCH

Hi, my Husband and I have watched the series and thoroughly enjoyed it. Although Jessica Lange doesn't look like Crawford, she does put in a fabulous performance. We decided to watch Whatever Happened To Baby Jane last week , which we had recorded, we both had seen it before but couldn't...

Looks like Mahonia to me but difficult to tell under all of that snow. CHINCH

Thanks for this oldMohawk. I can't say I understand any of that but I can have a look at my computer and see if I can find Notepad and have a go. Thanks again. CHINCH.

Thank you all so much for your response to this query. I have been in touch with Lesley and he/she has ordered the birth certificate and said how brilliant this forum is. I happen to agree!! Hopefully the Dead Man's Penny will soon be with someone from Hilo's family where it belongs. Thank you...

Hi, pjmburns, well, I began a conversation , added the title and then forgot how to post the thread so clicked on the symbol for drafts which came up as save or delete draft and I saved it. I then took a look at the forum to see how to post a thread and returned to the conversation but it wasn't...

Hello, I wonder if the good people on this forum might be able to help? In my local paper yesterday there was an article regarding the attempts to locate the relatives of a Dead Man's Penny recipient, Hilo Pitt. The Dead Man's Penny was issued by the government, to families in the first world...

Hello, can someone tell me how do I find a post which I saved in Drafts and now can't retrieve, please? Thank you. CHINCH

Hi Chris, thanks for this, I will take a look. We spend quite a bit of time lately talking about the war and the home guard so my Father-in-Law will enjoy this. CHINCH

Hi ChrisM, I had no idea about this. My Father-in -Law, who is nearing his 94th Birthday, was in the Home Guard in Redditch and has told a little about his days in the outfit, but he has never mentioned ladies being involved. He was not allowed to join the Army as he was "reserved occupation". I...

Moderator comment: This and the few following associated posts have been transferred from the Marston Green and Tile Cross thread and relate to the image below. Sorry, a little off topic, but did the Home Guard have women in it as there is a woman in the seat in the first row? CHINCH

Hi Jaycee, how lovely to hear from you. I have sent you a personal message.......I hope! Not quite sure what I'm doing!!! CHINCH.

Hello again, thanks for your messages.I know that my Grandfather was a gardener and he met my Grandmother when both working at a large "posh" house in Solihull. I think later on he worked as a labourer but not sure when that was, but his Father died very young too, 34 years old and his Mother...

UPDATE ; UNION ROAD, Hi , just wanted to tell you that I have been to Union Road to see 115. I actually knocked the door and a lovely gentleman invited me in and told me a little bit about the property. Apparently, his parents rented the cottage which at that time had a barn attached to it. The...

Hi Janice, I will go to the library tomorrow and see the electoral rolls. Thanks. Is Union Road not Birmingham? I know there have been boundary changes over the years but I thought Shirley was part of Birmingham or was it considered to be Worcestershire at one time? I think Kings Norton was too...
