Although a bit of a lousy image, the last person to have lived in the house was the man on the left Albert Maull with his wife Gertrude. He was my Great Uncle and I am assuming this it the house based on the appearance behind them. The man on the left was my father. I visited this house when...

WOW mikejee, thanks, that solves/answer a question. That is the same as the B/W image I have and based on the map you posted earlier I see two sets of two houses that jut out a couple of feet forward of the others. No 16 and 18 and then 24 and 26, the last house is set back and then a change...

WOW you have a map with numbers on it, that is fantastic. It shows that Number 16 is slightly proud of 14 which matches an image I have of my Great Grandmothers house. Thank you so much. Mike

Thank you pjmburns and Astoness for the links. I do use this map site already it is fantastic and I recommend it too. I have got a bit of a project I am working on as part of my family history and that is to try to piece together from images, roads and areas where my ancestors lived prior to...

From around 1910 to the 1960's my great grandmother Elizabeth Maull and some of her children including my Grandmother Alice Maull lived at 16 Aston Lane. As a very young child I can just about remember visiting the house and I believe it was somewhere around where the Aston Express Way fly over...

Hi 2dogs, I have a mysterious great grandfather, a Henry Edward Hicks, he lived in Aston/Nechells but disappears from the records prior to 1871. Been searching for his family for 35+ years and even done several DNA tests to see if I can find his family history. He married and Alice Ames, just...

Hi MAID I hope you find this interesting and perhaps will answer your question. Thank you for the information. I looked up the court proceedings in the hope of an address and name (see attached) but in this document there is no mention of being arrested at his wife’s fathers house unless I am...

Hi Alberta Thank you for your response and information. The William Ames (b.1811) you mentioned is my great great grandfather married to Sarah Standley. As you pint out they lived in Bell lane which is now I believe Orphanage Road, Erdington. You also include William Ames b.1782 and Mary B...

Hi Maid, I am interested in your story. I am descended from a William Ames and Sarah Standley who are my Great Great Grandparents, I believe the Sarah Ames that married Philip Reeves is the sister of William Ames. I have some Ancestry DNA matches that confirms this but I am struggling to find...

Hi I am related to Sarah Ames nee Standley too. Would love to hear from you but the post is a bit old

You will see I posted it before under Pettree, for some reason I can't log back in with that name. It was a great shock when someone sent me that photo, it was eerie as I just asked for images of stuart street and it came up like you see it, the actual house where my mum was born. Did your...

Just to complete the picture, Henry detailed his father has Henry in his wedding cert., a bricklayer, where as Henry Whitworth was in engineering of some sort, the same sort of industry Henry ended up being in.

Thank you for your response MWS. Yes I keep an open mind on it, there are 3 options, it is a modern meaning such as the husband of a daughter. An adoption or similar by Henry and/or Hannah, or as you say the son of Hannah but not Henry. The latter being my best guess and hope also. However...
