Yes but when at the clutching at straws stage I am looking everywhere..........having read the Kathleen Dayus books about the unofficial midwifes I get your point of view.

Looked through over 800 names on Findmypast on 1901 census and no names ring any bells....never knew you could do this.Loads more roads etc I can try now if it works on voting as well. Was hoping for any names Gertrude was going by as its the road in 1900 she puts on sons birth cert.

Yes I have a world one on Ancestry and its not bringing up anything for 1901 in the road I want........ I know some Kelly's results come up on name searches but I have only seen businesses. Just tried the road...Willes Road in the keywords etc and it brings up Kelly's results but just a mish...

After many attempts with keywords it did give results in alphabetic order - no names I wanted to see but you cant view any of them without a sub. We had a sub in wifes name (trial) and could see certian results years after but now we cant and it wont even let up see ones we have viewed before or...

OK thanks but....haven't got Findmypast sub at the moment......put Kelly's in Google and no idea what to do and didn't get as far as walk the street....lol

Does anyone know how to access who lived in a street either in a census or voting.In Ancestry I put a street in Birmingham in 1901 census and no records showing.

Well not really....he is the one named by Gertrude as Charles Williams father...but says he is a Pro Cricketer. he had a son with same name and its through this son that my wife is getting DNA matches.....these people are also getting the Dunhill connections but no one can pin anyone down.The...

Well thanks for all that. Back to my drawing board again.I cant remember where or who but I have come upon Farm St before when searching but this family is a real hard one to pin down and are not that reliable with their information. Thanks.

I have spent ages looking at the Evans connection and cannot find a thing.........I am sure this is all deception from Gertrude to go alongside the Bayley thing.

Thanks everyone. I have recently been contacted by a Paul Weston whose GMother was Rose Baldwin who was Gertrudes youngest sister.She too had a checkered early life. Put into service at 14 and she got pregnant and fled to Derby to have a child and later joined by her boyfriend and they lived...

UPDATE......RE; 1901 Census.....still trying to place Gertrude Dunhill ( Mom) and Gertrude Dunhill ( Daughter) and Charles William Bayley in 1901 and have found one document for a Mary Ann Baldwin and a Gertrude Baldwin looks like lodging with a family in Farm St and they have the ages of the...

Lived all my life in Kings Norton/West Heath and never heard BAB until I started working in West Brom/Oldbury.........

Fantastic aerial view and really interesting...for me......the dog legged road through the centre is Oxford St and can see Coventry St running across it near the top.On one corner is Thomas Walkers and the other The Old Warfe pub with the Back to backs running to the right....looks like a Monday...

Remember a fire not far from this one around 1972.......it was next to the Expressway out of town and next to the canal (see modern image). We were in the Mathew Boulton college - School of Printing and all came out to watch.......we were told that it was a Lewis's warehouse that went up but...

Saw the 1923 record in the workhouse records book at the Library of Brum.

Oh wow ...all them Caravans that people lived in. Gives me a new perspective of where Wifes Gran lived when she split from Husband in Ladywood and turned up in Newcastle Under Lyme living in a caravan...Her and partner with up to 7 children....but one died aged 8 and another in 1st year - both...

Sorry for a confusing reply...........will try and word it better........ 2 separate things.....the cert says workhouse which means not only in the infirmery but living in the workhouse......BUT..... In 1923 my M in Laws Cert said 77 Dudley Road which was the infirmary and we have seen the...

Joining this late but just got the Birth Cert in the workhouse as against the Infirmary....my Mother in law born in Infirmary and the cert just says the address...not the workhouse....

Thanks everyone...I was hoping it was May Bayley but can see now the birth is a few months out....mind you people were a bit loose with the facts...lol. Cant make out the offence yet. Can remember I found it on a search online but it could have been an Ancestry one originally.I wasnt on Ancestry...
