I have a particular interest in Stuart Street as it is where a number of my ancestors lived and died, including where my mother was born. As such I have been trying collecting photos of the street. The not quite merged photo attached is of the pub and a photo of Stuart Street, I have left them...

If you haven't found out which put it is, I believe it is the New Inns on the corner of Stuart Street and Nechells park road, I think you have becaause you posted another one too. Thanks for posting it

I am still looking for any photos of Stuart Street, Nechells, if anyone has any. Including St Clements Church, Stella Street, Long Acer or Nechells Park Road

I think where you have Lancaster street it should be Staniforth Street at the end of Fisher Street

As always, I appreciate your response and information. I think you are about right as it ties in with my research. Thanks MikeJee Regards Mike

To answer your question on where / when he was born, the 1841 census suggests he was living in Cheapside and born in 1804 in County (assumed to be Warwickshire), the names of the children match my research but the first 4 were born in Kidderminster, my G.G Grandfather was Thomas. The 1851...

WOW, lovely, thank you

I don't know how the courts work, but I do know several ancestors or cousins lived in and around Milk Street, attached are the death certs and a census from 1861. It is assumed that the moved to Milk Street around 1861 and George died in 1862. The details on the census match other records I...

I have recently acquired the death certificates of my G. G. G. Grandparents, George Jones (d. 1862) and Jane Jones nee Price (d. 1874). Both died at 18 court Milk Street having previously lived in Digbeth Road (the census just says Digbeth) and prior to that Cheapside. The maps that I have...

Totally agree with you, I use various software including Photoshop. The enhancements I use include de-speckle and sharpen but the colourising in this case was through MyHeritage which I assume uses AI. It is all part of a family history project I am working on, not all census records have...

Hi Mikejee Thank you for providing the house numbers for Fisher Street, it has been really helpful to me. Following on from that I found a photo, courtesy of 'Briton from Above' of Fisher Street and surrounding area taken in 1937. I took your map and turned it around to align with the photo...

Hi Astoness, You too have also provided me with invaluable information over the years which is really appreciated. All of my maternal side came from Birmingham and surrounding areas. I do have and use the Georeferenced Maps viewer - Map images - National Library of Scotland and reference it a...

Hi mikejee, I don't know how you do it, but over the years you have been so helpful to me and come up with the goods. I have a family history project intended to try to identify exactly where my ancestors lived. In some cases, with the help of you and Britain by Air, I have been able to...

I am researching Fisher Street where my G.G. Grandparents lived in 1891. I would like to know if anyone has any photographs, information or stories of the street and any indication of house numbers. I am particularly looking for 48 Fisher Street. Thank you

In 1881, my G. G. Grandparents Thomas Bramley and Sarah Bramley nee Carr lived at 108 Arthur Street

Hi Malcolm I had a couple of generations of my family as well as aunts and uncles living in Stuart Street mostly on the opposite side to Stella Street at 48, 54, 60, 62 and 66. I used to visit a great aunt that lived at no. 62 when I was a kid. I remember dim street lights and a cobbled street...

Whoops I didn't mean to post this first map above my last post

Mike I have submitted a post in another forum called ‘New Thomas Street’ later named Gem Street. But my quest is to find the location of No.1 New Thomas Street where my G. G. Grandparents lived according to the 1871 census. Initially I was struggling to find where New Thomas Street was, but...

Hi MWS, a few days ago you kindly posted this map showing New Thomas Street (later Gem Street) which I was struggling to find. It all made sense in the end (as to where it was) as my grandmother was born in Coleshill Street and her grandparents lived in New Thomas Street then Doe street. My...
