I had to pay almost £40 to obtain my grandfathers divorce papers from 1921, I have been told that not many divorce records survived after the 1920's, I have tried to get my own parents divorce papers from the early 1960s but they do not longer exist.

Could it be Villa Road? It's not Lichfield Road or Victoria Road and I don't think its Lozells Road either. the number 5 did sometimes travel up the Tyburn Road to Holly Lane for the Dunlop workers and I don't think it's either one of them also.

Post 461 is not Lichfield Road, that is nothing like the road I knew, it was all built up without any trees until it reached Salford Park, and that is not Salford Park area either , goodness knows where this is.

Hi Patricia, I really don't think that David Robert did commit suicide, I think it was a pose to able to send George Frederick away, out of all the children they had he was the only one sent, there was a younger brother who Sarah kept with her, the eldest son David Lewis offered to pay £1-00 a...

The mountain bike events are being held within 5 minutes drive from where I live today, not looking forward to the extra amount of traffic which it will bring to the area, we have quite a few road works going on at the moment and on a normal day its very bad, so if anyone on here is planning to...

Sorry Sammysam, but I do not think they will have any records from that period, but that doesn't mean I am correct, I did work for the company for 35 years (retired March 2021) and it took them over 12 months to sort my records out, you can try their HR department (email...

Sorry Lyn...but you are incorrect, Newton Row either starts at Bracebridge Street or ends there

St Mary's School Aston from a newspaper report September 1953, I purchased this off ebay about 15 years ago, never got around to scanning it until today, I couldn't get the whole page on my scanner due to using my printer instead of my normal scanner.
