Who is it you are trying to find? You can always ring the Library where the census would be held and ask them to do a search for you, they will charge a small fee tho.. the 1831 census is a lot like the 1841 in that it doesn't list place of birth and relationship of the people in the household.

If any of your ancestors were born before 1837 then you could try www.familysearch.org.uk. It is a list of Parish register christenings, some times you can get lucky, 1831 census are available at Libraries i think, i have never viewed one as yet :)

Well it's all about the taking part Eric and good for you for getting stuck in. Nan was born 1926 so i'd assume late 30's early 40's Lyn, I dont know if there was an age restriction? she was born in Gooch Street but then moved to just off Summer Lane, she also lived at New John Street, Wheeler...

I haven't been to Harborne in years, last time i saw it a few years ago it had drastically changed. I'm going to print those pics off and show them to Nan, she has Alzhiemers but it may jog something :)

Another one bites the dust :(

Thanks Lyn that's great. He's a star isn't he Jean, I take it the building is still there?

It would be great to have a look at it Lyn, you have a few weeks to find it :) Postie great Photos, thank you for those :)

I will have to try and get a copy of the book Jayell, be intersting to see. Lyn pretty please can you bring it the Jewellery Quarter meet up so i can have a nosey :)

Thanks Phil, wonder if they have old photographs there, glad to see it's still going I will have to let nan know.

That sounds about right Jean as Nan lived just off Summer Lane, her memory isn't what it was and i didn't like to push her more on the subject. I will have to get the pictures and post them when i can :)

Whilst rummaging threw some olds photos for my family history i found some photos of a day out and a football team, my nan said they were from the Settlement (a kind of youth group she attended), did anyone else go there or have any memories of it? many thanks :)

Re: Which Church re: Sarah Streeton STURGES born 1817, Digbeth, Birmingham, Warwicksh Sorry Barbara, it looks as to she wasn't christened there, but St Martins Church would have been the Parish had they lived in Digbeth, lots of my family over that side of the city used that Church as it is one...

Thanks again Mike that's brilliant. Dave thanks, have checked with mom and there's some payment papers in there that are stamped with Parade Birmingham on the date stamp.

Mike that's brilliant thank you so much :)

Thanks Mike, knew someone would solve the riddle in the end, his discharge paper for 1920 says 1 back of 33 Graham Street so maybe those houses were called Morton Place? as 1920 says house number 33 just above Morton Place listings.

Re: Which Church re: Sarah Streeton STURGES born 1817, Digbeth, Birmingham, Warwicksh I was thinking that Mike just checked christening is for 1825 here are the children:- 1. Sarah Streeton Sturges - International Genealogical Index Gender: Female Birth: 05 SEP 1817 St Martins, , Warwick...

Re: Which Church re: Sarah Streeton STURGES born 1817, Digbeth, Birmingham, Warwicksh Theres a Sarah christened at St Martins, do you have that information? St Martins was in Digbeth area, the only Samuel Sturges(s) born around 1792 i could fine was 1786 in Derby.

Maggs i am wondering now... he was born October 1897 Mike so he would have been 21 in 1918, just after the electoral role so wouldn't be on missing voters, but 1925 it said Moreton Place Graham Street, maybe they have it mixed up like Maggs said.. his name was Isaac Sargent incase i have got...

Thanks Mike, I couldnt find anything either, thats why i was hoping a map may clarify it, i am not sure which one it would be now, I know they went from Freeth Street to Graham Street, then to Ellen Street, so it could have been either one but the 1925 electoral role says Moreton Place Graham...

All i have is 1920 something Parade, Graham Street, can't read writing on discharge papers and then 1925 1 Moreton Place Graham Street, don't know if that helps anymore i assumed it was Balsall Heath but up until 1920 for 30 years he and his parents were at Freeth Street if that is nearby...
