That is interesting, I have a wedding certificate for my Great Grandparents, Thomas James Jones and Eliza Bramley in 1885. Their residence on the certificate shows 87 Watery Lane. Assuming the numbers were odds and evens as today, it is probable that they lived in the house next door.

Thank you as always, brilliant

Does anyone have the house numbers for Watery lane, I am looking for 87 on the map. Thank you

My Great Grand parents lived at 87 Watery Lane in 1885 as detailed on their wedding certificate. I wonder if their house is in the photo too? Any idea of the house numbering?

Hi Ann I could certainly give it a go, is there a format or an example I could use as inspiration, a template or to get an idea of what you are thinking. I am a bit of a family history bore/addict so I know a bit about these great uncles.

As far as I know, my great uncle Frederick Hicks would have been Church of England, he was baptised at St Clements church, Stuart Street, Nechells. As for being nominated by the family, that would seem a bit unfair if they had no family for one reason or the other. Just a shame he is not on...

Thank you.

Hi Having scanned through the list it is disappointing to see that another great uncle of mine is not listed for some reason, his name was Frederick Hicks, my grandfathers brother or could this be one of the names you have been unable to trace? Mike

Hi you have created a very interesting list for the Memorial. You have 4 people recorded with the name MAULL, three of them are my great uncles detailed as Frederick Alfred MAULL and James Henry MAULL. See attached news paper cutting. I have the original photographs also attached of the...

Thank you very much that is perfect, really appreciated

Does anyone have any photos of Thimblemill lane? I remember factory/building called Verities or something close to that and my Aunt Gladys Dorman nee Hicks lived at 277 Thimblemill Lane until the 1960s. If anyone has the house numbers I would love to know, thank you. Mike

This image is even clearer, I believe that based on a map providing numbers someone posted on this site before I can actually pin point the house. In the street there appears to be a person in dark clothes at one end and the other end a van or something. According to the map the far end is...

WOW, you have done it again for me. I can see the row of houses that I am after. Thank you very much, it is incredible.

Hi Mike. Some years ago I was on here as Pettree but one day it kept asking to confirm my password which I did but I was never able to log on again with that screen name. You were kind enough to send me the attached image of Long Acre with the house numbers. I was wondering if you have time...

Thank you there is an old image which is great, you are a star. Mike

After some recent success requesting photographs of streets, I thought I would try my luck again. My Great Grandfather lived at No 11 Portland street in 1871. It appears to be opposite 'The Manor Tavern' which I believe is No. 6 and just a little bit further down on the other side of the...

Ok I have done a DNA test with Ancestry too so we should connect. Do you know someone called K.... Barlow? She is also descended from Tranter/Tye and would be your 3rd cousin. My connection is: Nancy+Robert Tye Robert Tye + Elizabeth Smith Elizabeth Tye + Thomas Maull Alice Maull My father Me...

Interesting, I wonder if you subscribe to Ancestry, I have been communicating with two people descended from Betsy 'Elizabeth' and Mark Tranter (see images). My Elizabeth Tye descended from a Robert Tye, son of Robert and Nancy.

Robert Tye and Nancy Ann Wheeler were my Great Great Great Grandparents. Ironically I was researching where their grand daughter (Elizabeth Tye) lived yesterday in Aston Hall Road. The people on here were of enormous help. Is there anything I can help you with regarding the above? Are you...

Nor mine, thanks. It is an fantastic image.
