right update…… sorry for the long post. So took a friend with me today to look at plot 87. We started from the bottom and counted each gravestone until we got to 87. When we got there we realised a stone was in its place already, the one I had taken next to where I thought the plot was. So we...

oh blimey thanks for that, so there's defo two in Felices plot, I really do hope its Angelina as she went first. With the small square sorry I was referring to the maps I uploaded yesterday.

So when I was doing research it said that St Josephs was one of the only catholic churches to not bury random people together. So im hoping if it was for two people that Angelina his wife is in there. When I asked AI about the small rectangle square by the plot number they said it could indicate...

On Giuseppe & Felice burial record, do you no or can anyone take a guess what it says between their name and the plot detail?

Hope so, I’ll be going tomorrow to start uncovering the stone. will do :)

So I’m glad I went to St Chads first as they seem to be the only place that hold the original register for St Josephs. I was hoping to see it today, but it’s more typed up documents and some hand written. I found no Iommis in any books BUT luckily I had two plots anyway. In the St Chads one...

I didn't know that, thanks so much, Im going to book a tour round that would be really interesting for me to see. I never knew they done anything like that.

Ive just had a quick google of the back to back houses as wasn't sure what they looked like, I read most were taken down by 1950 like you say. Small world they both overlapped at some point.

Hi Lyn So sister Catherine has been away ever since Ive been visiting the last few weeks, I had left details with someone else there and then he went away on holiday. I went back Thursday just gone and spoke to the family living upstairs there who contacted sister Catherine who has passed on...

Yes I know my nan more or less grew up in moorside road yardley wood, so the above is where they lived before hand? interesting. Ive just looked on maps and it looks like the houses have gone from there too. Did they live there around the same time?

Well I never knew that. Thanks for that info. :)

Are right I see, ive noticed that happens on the 1939 census Also exciting news, I am booked in at the church tomorrow to go through the register and then the map. I said I already had two plot details but he wants me to look again incase they're wrong. So will be interesting to see if its...

I found a 1939 census record With both parents living with john & Fredrick Rogers. My nan isn’t on there and she would have been 9 years

Well thanks for all the info, ive added it all to the tree.

John William Rogers? well that answers that then, Maybe her father had some children before he met Florence.

Just checked my ancestry DNA matches and I have about 15 Rogers that are 3rd 4th cousins, so they could be down the line of the two brothers.

Thankyou iil look now. Oh so she had many siblings :) nice to see all their names, I never knew the maiden name, My mom tells me the only one she met is Fredrick. So you're on the right track. But my mom is sure some are definitely half siblings. Saying this I think she was a lot younger (my...

ohh silly me :) I thought maybe news articles, shop openings , may take photos etc. Yes, her father was William rogers and mom Florence, I know she had siblings, may have been half siblings, but she just would never speak about any of them. Haha you definitely win with smith :))

The best place to look for photos of ancestors, would you say it would be the library in town?

yes that's the one, the women that lives there now is a Lambe but she got married so im unsure of that surname. She bought off her uncle, my great uncle when he passed. Tbh Id like to do my moms nans side, as I know nothing about them, but the name Rogers is very common. But she didn't like to...
