Im on the laptop now so I will check out the map. It seems so far that every single address ive come across is no longer there, its a shame isn't it. But saying that the city centre has changed so much to now. I miss the old palisades and pavilions, Ill check out the other Aston post you...

Ahhh now that you’ve both said that I know exactly where it is and what stretch of carriageway it’s on…. I’ve always lived south Birmingham so I have no idea what’s new/old this side.

Right I’m over this way now, I’m guessing those row of shops have been knocked down , is it where the aldi and farm foods is now? If anyone is from north Birmingham you may know.

Can I check with you all on here that, 81 high street is now called Newtown Row. The next road to the left should be whitehead road but now Its also been changed to Manchester street?

You know I remember that was posted and when it said 50/60s I thought it was perhaps after they ran it. But now I realise they had it then too. Amazing. I shall add that to my tree. :))

Oh so it was more of a cake shop then :) yes I think the G and L are Giovanni and Lucia. But Felice lived there also, so they must of had upstairs too. They must of ran that for a long time, as it was Felice residence on his death certificate in 1933. Yes Giuseppe must of went back.

Interesting, thank you. Anyway to find out what it was called?. I remember reading that Tony iommis grandparents ice cream shop was called Iommi's ices . Im wondering if this is 81 High street, where a lot of my family members lived and worked? if anyone knows. Also I will be going back to St...

That's a shame, every address I come across is no longer there.

Eleuterios son Michael born 1913

So Eleuterio who moved to America, his great grand daughter Katelyn, she is looking for a photo for me of Eleuterios son Michael who would be her grandad. Im on the look out now for photos, while I wait for the map from st Josephs.

Thanks for this, I will pay it a visit. :))

Albert is her son and his wife Egina.

you are right I re read the email and it does seem like no burials were noted that year. very odd.

I did not realise there was a Handsworth cemetery. thanks for that, ill send them an email. Infact im sure as its a Birmingham city council one she isn't there, because I got the council to search there whole system as she never came up. :)

I’ve looked up that street and I don’t think it exists anymore… but it’s in the Handsworth area :)

I remember Naomi from st chads saying they do not have a copy of the map. so there's one family member who is not at st Josephs which is Maria, I received her death certificate and it says in the district of Handsworth, and that's where she lived. Any idea of anymore catholic churches with...

I was back at st Josephs today but the guy who took my details is on holiday for another week. We had a more in-depth look round the churchyard, but its a needle in a haystack. So I have to wait, although im so impatient, do you think there's anywhere else I can access the map?

Yes an A. Iommi. So that would either be my grandad Anthony or his brother Albert. Both passed.

Yes I just looked it up aswell. Really didn’t know some names had English versions. Giovanni is John aswell.

If so, I didn't know that.
