I can't see it clearly enough but still pleased with the result

I don't know but the original photo was a bit limited. There is another photo of the whole family but doesn't show that bit of the wall

That's the one thank you Janice, you are all brilliant and I will have a drink tonight in your honour.

Definitely the one thank you so much, don't know how you all do it.

Absolutely the one, can't thank you enough, it's really bugged me for ages, Thank you.

Quite possibly, sorry I can't be absolutely sure.

Probably Ladywood or Aston, not sure which

Sad individual that I am, really puzzled by this church. I was actually there but for the life of me can't remember a thing about it. I obviously know the people concerned but it ends there. It was in 1962 and lots of weddings since then!! If anyone knows where it is the BHF people will know.

My Dad worked for Parkers for a short time. His name was Frank Willis and I have a feeling my grandfather David Downing worked for them. I actually met Harold Moult but as I was a snotty kid at the time can't remember too much. He did make me laugh, I remember that much. I used to scrounge lifts...

Hi it's me again. this photo is of me and my brother outside 11/381 Heath Street. Don't know the name of the horse because he belonged to the rag merchant Parkers in Heath Street. I also remember a Harold Moult who lived up the same street but on the other side I think he was a rag merchant as...

This is me in our new house. We moved from 11 back of 387 Heath Street as part of the slum clearance in 1954. The move was mainly on the back of a lorry which belonged to the rag merchant in Heath Street. Posh we were! The property was a flat at number 1 Gorsymead Grove Northfield. It was ever...

I previously posted about an ancestor called Winifred Maud Hill. She married a William Longman in 1941. Sadly he was an air raid warden and was killed in by a bomb blast in Rookery Road Handsworth in 1942 probably not married for a full 12 months. She married again some 20 years later. Details...

It always amazes me at responses from you people at BHF. It's wonderful. I joined BHF years ago and view it every day and it's brilliant and people are so helpful. I'm still no nearer the details of Mary Anns death but the grandchildren information gives me other avenues to explore. As an aside...

There was someone else at the address but don't know who I didn't go into the back room where she was in bed and she was very poorly and it was the end for her. She wasn't going anywhere else. I haven't found any evidence of grandchildren. I don't know why she was in Wolverhampton but suspect...

She was definitely in Wolverhampton when she died. I remember it was a terraced house straight on to street and my age at the time corresponds with the assumption she died between those dates. I checked a couple of deaths same name in Birmingham but they came up as the wrong ladies. Very common...

I have an ancestor called Mary Ann Hill nee Downing born 27th February 1876 Tipton. I have found so much information about this lady from several sources. To get to the story, my mother and father took me to an address in Wolverhampton, don't know the address! When we were there it was explained...

beautiful photos thanks Astoness

Thank you very much and so appreciated.

Hi Folks, Not sure this is in the correct thread apologies if it isn't. I found a 1901 census record with one of my ancestors Kathleen Keogh Born 1883 living in service at a Merchant Tailor in Parade. He was a Harry Goldstone. I would love any information, pictures of the shop, or even...

Hi Bushbaby, Sad to say Patrick is gone but so are his parents Arthur Slaney and Patricia Slaney. The younger sister to Pearl was Tina, born Millicent, and there were two brothers apart from Patrick. They were Arthur (Archie) and Paul and all are still going strong as far as I know. The family...
