I've discovered from the 1921 census that my great-great uncle was at this home for boys. I had family stories of all the children getting abandoned by their mother after the death of their father but I now have this confirmed from this census. Does anybody know if the archives have any...

I found a family member at this address (Helyage Or Kelyage Street) in 1891 but I can't even find anything on this street possibly I'm spelling it wrong. I originally thought it could be Henage street but going back pages the spelling is the same so not error on the page. It's clearly a L not a...

Thanks, yea sadly the census didn't seem to have street after Darwin

@MWS That's amazing, thank you!! I think that makes sense as I believe St Alban the Martyr, Birmingham is in Highgate.

Hi there, yes I found them on the census with this address as awhile as one of the children's baptism in 1911 too. The address is 2 Darwin Terrace Darwin. The names are Frederick Graham (1876) and Eliza Graham (1878) and the child that got baptised was Mary Graham (1911). The Baptism took place...

Hi all, been looking at the 1911 census for my family and the address comes up as 'Clifton Terrace Darwin Birmingham'. I've tried looking it up but don't seem to find much so coming on here to see if anybody knows anything about it. Thanks

I had a grandparent that lived on the Pugh Road in 50s

Thanks for this. Nan also remembers there being a fire on the street that gutted the house. I try to write as much as I can that Nan tells me just in case it helps anybody on this forum.

Thanks, I thought that might have been a track but I wasn't hundred per cent.

Does anybody know if there was a train track behind Dollman Street or close to it? Nan said behind Dollman street but it could be that they lived in the houses behind Dollman street but the train track was somewhere else My nan remembers a man and woman by the name of Fanny Stafford and maybe...

Thank @Colroy07 very likely that your mum would have known my Aunty that's last name was Swallow

Wow thanks, both @brummy-lad & @MWS @Colroy07 You are so right, my nan loves talking about living in back-to-back houses in this area, it's completely different for people who have the lived experience. You can tell even though she and her family had a hard life they enjoyed their family...

My Great-aunt lived at 120 Dollman Street at one point, I've been looking to see where it was on Google Maps and I think it must have gone now in the clearance of Birmingham

Big thanks!! Just so I can show my nan, she loves looking at where she lived, even though there isn't anything left of it or hardly any photo :(

Thanks Lyn, my nan lived at 1/61 Godwin Street, used to live on Great Lister street and was married at St Matthews

My Nan lived on both Great Lister Street and Godwin Street. I know for sure Great Lister Street was demolished but I'm not sure if Godwin street was?

@mikejee & @MWS Thanks both, where can I find these maps and others like it?

I've just found out that my great-grandfather and his siblings/parents were living a 13 Gee Street in 1891

I have so many relatives that come from this Terrace of back-to-back houses, so wondered if anybody else relatives came from here too. Talbot is the surname of my relative mostly. My 92-year-old nan and I were discussing this terrace today and she described it as being made up of six houses...

I've just found out today that my grandmother's uncle Albert was christened here in 1890. It's such a shame that it's not longer here.
