Hi Lyn, thanks for volunteering lets us know how it goes, good luck.....

Hello Lyn, No, my post was originally asking if any one knew where 93 Bull Street is and was there a Blue Plague to commemorate John Cadbury? Then Mike replied with a pic showing where 93 Bull Street is and a suggestion to where a plague should be. I followed it up, if a campaign to award a...

Thanks Mike, Phil

Does anyone have a street map showing where 93 Bull Street was, the site of John Cadbury's first shop? I've looked on the present maps (google) and looked for a Blue Plague but I can't see one. Perhaps a campaign should be started to erect one on the nearest building to the actual site, saying...

Hello JDC, .....here's a part tree showing your parents and grandparents, Harold and William both have their mother's surname as Hodgkiss not Hoskins.

Hi Anne, what a worthwhile project. I haven't read every thread on this topic and I'm not sure who qualifies to be mentioned on/in the Aston Parish memorial. I have a few relatives from Aston/Winson Green/Hockley who paid the ultimate price in both WWI and WWI (10 in total) and I was wondering...

Was it Cuddesdon? If it was there must be a connection somewhere along the way. Phil

Thanks again Mark for the map, Merry Christmas Phil

What's MW stand for? Phil

A bit of a coincidence? Half brother's Samuel and Harold's father was Samuel from Oxford and his father was also a Samuel. Too many Samuels to keep track of. Phil

So, I'm I right to assume your name is Simmonds? Any relation to a Samuel or Harold?

I'm always searching this part of the world as I was born in Park Road, Hockley, I wish I had "scanned" more streets also. I'm intrigued when you said my Great Uncle's name is "spelt correctly". Why is this worthy of note? Phil

Thanks MWS, this is exactly what I was looking for. I assume it's a map you already had because 'Oldmaps' is now closed, or do you still have access? Phil

Can anyone (Mike) pin-point number 1 Perrott Street with a street plan, please? Now oldmaps is no longer accessible I'm having trouble finding an alternative map website. I'm trying to find the house where my Great Uncle Samuel Simmonds lived. He later lived at 26 Perrott Street when he married...

Janice, I think he was the only one killed on that day, probably by a sniper, if you look at the WD next day another soldier is killed in the same way.

Thanks Janice, I've found the war diary where it mentions my Great Uncle by name, it is unusual to see a Private recorded this way. To think one of those soldiers shown in the film could be him. A map is required to identify the trench IND.1.a. Thanks again Phil

To all, I'm researching my Great Uncle George Sanford who served with the 10th Bn Royal Warwickshire Regiment, service number 8537. He was killed in action on the 23rd October 1915. He was born 21st May 1896, the son of Fred and Mary Ann Sanford, of 19, Kent St. North, Lodge Rd...

Hi Trob, welcome to the forum and sorry for your loss. My Uncle Harold was from Winson Green not Deritend, I think you have the wrong Harold Webb. Have you any more information about him or his mother Gertrude Harley Webb to establish if this is the same person? I haven't found any one with a...

Hi Jonathan, there were a number of Pte. C. Page in the A.S.C. The quote here from Chris shows at least three. Your medal is for the first one he mentions. My Grandfather's numbers are M/279643 and EMT/43886. Phil
