Thanks Len - unfortunately don't recognise the names but you never know when you'll find another connection, so i'll jot them down!!
Remember my mum said that their house was bombed during the war and that for years after they lived in odd places....such as someone's garage and in the local...
Hi Williamjukes,
Thank you so much for helping.
Mary Ann was the mother so i guess she may have passed away - though would have thought Frank and Lizzie would be around (?).
Having just checked my records i see that the family name was registered as Beeves in 1935 - Is there any chance the name...
Hi,
I wonder if sks could look for my grandparents(Frank Alfred and Lizzie Reeves) in the Electoral roll AFTER 1939 .

1939 Acocks Green 436 433 Rw Dw Reeves Lizzie 230 CATESWELL ROAD...
Oh well - it was worth a try!
Thanks anyway Shera - i appreciate the lookup.
...And thanks for the offer of the marriage details - i have those though.. i had hoped the girls were christened in the same church:rolleyes:
Best wishes,
Kaz
Hi,,
Can sks see if there are any (christening) records for Catherine (c 1869) and Elizabeth (c1871) Viggers..I know their parents (Eli and Catherine) married at St Martins in 1866 so am hoping they used the same church when kids were born:)
Many thanks,

There were many other "Gamsby" births from 1903 onwards(time of the marriage) but the ones in my last message were with mothers maiden name of "Cleaver"... and pre 1911 we can only guess that they are yours:)
Maybe you should see if you can find the family in 1911 or in Electoral rolls....
Looks like she married the Gamsby chap:
Births Dec 1912 Gamsby Jack Cleaver Aston 6d494
Births Dec 1917 Gamsby Thomas Cleaver Aston 6d547
Births Sep 1919 Gamsby George H Cleaver Aston 6d699
Births Mar 1921 Gamsby Albert Cleaver King's N. 6d191
Births Mar 1922 Gamsby Daisy V Cleaver...
Wonder if this is her marriage:
Marriages Jun 1903
Cleaver Daisy Victoria Solihull 6d1156
Gamsby Robert Solihull 6d1156
Taylor Mary Ann J Solihull 6d1156
Wareing Frederick Solihull 6d1156
Thanks for the advice Rupert - Will look into it as soon as the snow melts and the nicer days are here.
She sits, lies down, will wait to eat something or go somewhere and will stay just about all the time but like i mentioned before the command "come" is still a work in progress:rolleyes:
Really enjoyed this!
Though am still working on the "normally come when called" part...my pup is just like the kids and has selective hearing . Is only interested in coming if there's food involved:)
