    Chadwick William & Martha

    Re: William & Martha Chadwick Thanks Astonian and Mike, i wonder if that is her? Mom said she had something to do with clothes, so it could well have been a laundry, she certainly had her fingers in a lot of pies, i know she ends up in 1950 in Sutton Street, her other properties being used by...

    Chadwick William & Martha

    Re: William & Martha Chadwick Oohhh now that sounds interesting Astonian, could well be her, she was widowed in 1935 and didn't remarry until 1944 to a Mr Higgs, i'm sure she would have had a strong Gloucs accent still, even though living here, as her grandkids and children thought she was...

    Chadwick William & Martha

    Re: William & Martha Chadwick No me either, looked under Barnes and with her as Annie, they had William in late 1900, so he should be there i would have thought? I think i found her brother, no place of birth listed but a Patient in Birmingham, can't see on Ancestry what kind of place, looks...

    Chadwick William & Martha

    Re: William & Martha Chadwick I'm starting to wonder if her business's are in Barnes, because a check before showed nothing under Chadwick, i will have to get a new search done under Barnes i think.

    Chadwick William & Martha

    Re: William & Martha Chadwick I think it is her brother, place of birth listed as Gloucs, and him naming a child after his sister, makes sense, i'm going to go to the library as soon as i can and look up that marriage at St Pauls and get a copy of it, its amazing! how good was it he was living...

    Chadwick William & Martha

    Re: William & Martha Chadwick Smtr, OH MY DAYS! what a star you are! i can't believe that, no wonder i couldn't find any of them on 1911 census and i trawled that for months lol On enlistment in 1914 he does say he was previously in the forces, maybe he used her family name, does sound more...

    Chadwick William & Martha

    Re: William & Martha Chadwick Thanks Astonian, i tried a Kellys but couldn't find anything, but there must be something somewhere, all the ones old enough to remember are gone now, but i have one cousin i may be able to talk to who knew quite a lot of stuff, who may remember something that...

    Chadwick William & Martha

    Re: William & Martha Chadwick Thanks for that Astonian, it could well be that the furniture shop was hers, she was a woman of some means, having come from a very poor background, she really made something of herself and owned houses and everything in and around Hockley, aswell as various...

    Chadwick William & Martha

    Re: William & Martha Chadwick Hi Astonian, thanks for the input, he was probably a relative of mine, i wonder with your vast and awe inspiring knowledge, would you remember any restaurants/cafe's by the Aston Hippodrome i think it was, Martha ran it and my Nan Rose worked there, but noone can...

    Chadwick William & Martha

    Re: William & Martha Chadwick Thanks for that Mike, that makes more sense to me, as i am sure i have come across the New Buildings address previously in his family history, but i don't think it was listed on Census back then as Legge Lane, i'll have to check back threw my paper work.

    Chadwick William & Martha

    Re: William & Martha Chadwick Thanks Shera, i have that.. it's the time between 1899 and 1914 i am hoping to find, i know before 1930 she goes by Annie (Ann being her middle name) but i just can't find them in 1901 and 1911, by 1911 they had William Jr 1900, Elizabeth 1902, Rose 1903, Ann(Annie...

    Birmingham Settlement
