Hi Terry, I was wondering if you can attach the 1913 map again showing Aston Barracks. It seems to have disappeared. I've just found out my Uncle Harold Leslie Webb was posted here in 1939. He then went to France in January 1940 but died in May 1940 defending the retreat to Dunkirk. He was...

Yes thanks Linda. It's always nice to get confirmation. Thanks for looking. Cheers Phil

Hi Chris, I have 3 different numbers for Charles when he was on the absent voters list for the years 1918 to 1921 when registered at 13 Alfred Place, Osler Street, Birmingahm and they are... From absent voters list... 1918 - 13 Alfred Place, Osler Street, Rotton Park Ward. M/279643, MT, ASC...

Thanks to all. My conclusion is Charles didn't marry my grandmother Gertrude but went on to marry Catherine and they lived at 13 Alfred place, Osler street. So he was probably alive in 1937 when my Mother got married, as there is no record of his death prior to this date. Once again thanks to...

Hi Cath I'm sorry but I don't know if he died in Birmingham or even if died in the country. I know very little about him. Phil

Hi everyone, Please see attached photos. I posted these some time ago but they disappeared along with many others in a mass deletion. They are based on Astoness posting. I think the woman walking up the street, in her apron, could quite possibly be my Mum. Phil

For Brum Burgin: They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.

Thanks to all, I'll have to review all the information you have kindly given me, to decide where I go from here. It would have been nice to get hold of Charles William Page's service record, I'm sure there would have been more information here. Never mind, you can't have every thing! Thanks...

Hi Suzanne, Yes, I'm coming to the conclusion that she pretended to be married at the time of my mother's birth. The birth was registered by Gertrude and the address was Perrott Street. Phil

Hi Suzanne, Answering your question: I have a copy of a Court Order dated 12th May 1921 stating she was residing at "The Workhouse, Selly Oak" and the name she was using then was Gertrude Webb, this being her maiden name. On my mother's birth certificate in 1917, father's name is Charles...

Thanks to everyone. From what you have said it looks like my Grandfather, Charles William Page didn't actual marry Gertrude, my Crandmother, afterall. The point of all this was to find out what happened to Gertrude. I know she was in the Workhouse in 1921 and I was trying to fiind out what...

Thanks again Suzanne, Now I have his army number M/279643 any idea on how I could get hold of Charles William Page's service record? This would probably have a next of kin address entered. I believe "Ancestry.co.uk" have this type of information but I haven't got access to this web site, it's...

Thanks Suzanne and Lindyloo, The info you've provided looks promising. It's interesting that Charle's mother was Annie Webb. I'm wondering if Annie Webb is related to Gertrude Harley Webb. Charles and Gertrude being my maternal Grandparents. Thanks again. Phil

Hi Suzanne, Thanks for the quick response. Amazing how quick. Charles Page is my Grandfather, my Mother's Dad, I was wondering are there any details about his age or who he was living with at these times. I'm not sure what records you are looking at, I don't understand all the abrieviations. My...

Can any one help with information regarding the Service Record for Charles William Page. The only facts I know are he was from Birmingham, probably Winson Green or Hockley area, and he was a Private in the Army Service Corps as a "Motor Driver". Anything would be welcome. Phil

Thanks again Peter, Very interesting, not that I believe in fate but it makes you think, doesn't it? By the way, the Sanford name belonged to my Grandmother. Regards Phil

Thanks Peter, Just out of interest, if my Grandfather had been allowed to stay with the 2nd Bat. can you tell me what would the first engagement have been? I'm just woundering what the odds would have been for him to have survived if he had gone to France and therefore do I owe my existence to...
