Irene no need to PM me, have just read your request. I did not know Sidney, do you know where in the Bakery he worked and what years? I will ask my Brother who also worked there if he knew him, also Postie (Jim the owner of the site) may also have known him as he too worked there. We all worked...

Wendy let me know if and when you need more help and I will see what I can find for you. I would not have known about Rupert Beeley if it hadn't been for you and the folks at Key Hill, so only too happy to help in any way I can. :)

Wendy had a look for death of Head names in Birmingham from 1837-1850. One, or more of these could be your grave tenants. Sep 1842 HEAD Jane Mar 1845 HEAD Thomas Jun 1846 Head Elizabeth Jun 1850 HEAD Robert I have also found three families in the area in 1841 census with...

Evey day at the two 'Visual Impaired schools' that I attended they gave us a table spoon of Cod liver Oil after lunch and we were asked if we had bowl movements, also I believe it was also done at the two 'Open Air Schools' where my sister went this was in the 1940's to 1960's.

Re: Robert Yardley Courtney Brilliant and it just shows that a knowledge of world history comes in very helpful when doing family researc, well done once again. Col' and I went to see a movie last week called 'Sarah's Key' it too was brilliant. If anyone wants to see it be warned as it takes...

Hi Wendy here's another one for you (Foot Note) Looking closer I think it's the original of Mike's middle one...

Glad you all had a great day...!

Sandra after looking on my old map of the area it looks like it's the right place as we lived in Dymoke St and back then it was much longer than it is now, the part we lived in was demolished in the late 50's.

Sandra where in Highgate was St Pat's Hall? Because it was somewhere in Highgate that I went to Brownies in the 1950's and think it was around the Mosley Road area but could be wrong. If I know the location of St Patrick's Hall I could work out if it was there.

In Brownies I was in 'Little People' (wonder why? LOL) our badge was a funny little character in Yellow and Green strips and in Guides I was in 'The Robins ' again a very small bird. It's a wonder I don't have hang ups about being small LOL.

I too was a Brownie and Girl Guide with my sister in the 50's early 60's. We were Brownies in Highgate somewhere on Mosley Rd and Guides in The Central Hall Building Just off Corporation St Nechells. I still have my Girl Guide Tie Pin/Badge. G/G Badge Central Hall

Patrica, looks like we are also related by marriage Your Thomas was the cousin to Joseph who married my great Aunty.

I knew I'd read that there was a Mill in that area at one time, but could not remember where. I found this from a Heartlands news letter sent to me in 2008 . Hope this helps in some way and may answer some of the questions asked in this thread.

I agree with you all ... Wendy I couldn't have put it better, apart from adding a real Gentleman in every way.
