    Looking for: Descendants of Florence Jenkins

    Not sure what happened to Florence's eldest brother (Albert William) but her other brother, Ernest, was possibly a butcher, married and had one daughter. If it's him, in 1939 he was living at 73 Green Oak Crescent and possibly died in 1962.

    MOSES IN BOLDMERE

    The story is in various newspapers from the 16th June 1975. Found in a telephone box on the corner of Maxstoke Road and Jockey Road. He had ginger hair.

    Looking for: Descendants of Florence Jenkins

    I think it's one of those classic cases of Anne (Evans) not really knowing where she was born and though to us Worcester isn't particularly close to Bham, to someone (possibly not very educated) in 1911 living in West Wales it probably was - surmising only. I think Janice has found the correct...

    Looking for: Descendants of Florence Jenkins

    Definitely not the Florence in Wales, she was actually born in Worcester. I think she was the daughter of Ann Evans' son in law (William David Jenkins) from his first marriage, the other 3 children are her actual grandchildren from his second marriage to Ann's daughter.

    Looking for: Descendants of Florence Jenkins

    Wyrion means grandchild/children. In 1901 they are all listed as Webb for some reason.

    Looking for: Descendants of Florence Jenkins

    I would guess so, OP said that Albert was a saw sharpener.

    Looking for: Descendants of Florence Jenkins

    Albert's first wife was an Emma Taylor, though on the baptisms of 2 sons before Florence she is listed as Emily (not unusual). Emma was born in Staffordshire and her death appears to have been reg. Jun qtr 1900 Aston. In 1891 Albert is listed as a Saw Maker.

    Widow & Widower married 1780 St Martins

    In a search for something else came across this unanswered question from some years ago. I assume it's been solved but just to contrast how much easier genealogy has become a quick search reveals... Peter Fellows married Sarah Cash 2 Jul 1769 Harborne. She died Aug 1780, just a couple of months...

    Miss Price's Prep School - Linwood Road, Handsworth

    It was 99 on the 1939 Register as well not 91, that was a different Price family (will amend). Clara and Hilda are 2 of her other sisters.

    Miss Price's Prep School - Linwood Road, Handsworth

    On the 1939 Register Florence is listed at 99 Linwood Road with a younger sister. She is listed as a School Mistress. Some of her sisters were teachers also.

    Peers surname, from around Latimer Street South and Cregoe St

    I see the Westley name came from Walter's grandmother, Selina Westley.

    Iommi family

    As mentioned the 67 year old Ivy Lane who died in 1988 was probably born in Aug 1920, your Ivy Lane was born Jan 1923. Even when years of birth are wrong (rarely this recent) months are invariably correct, so I would doubt this death is the right one.

    Iommi family

    The death reg. for the other Ivy Lane buried in 1988 was probably in Bromsgrove. Neither 1988 death has the correct age (dobs 13 Apr 1899 & 9 Aug 1920). Ivy Lane (nee Miles) was born Jan 1923.

    Iommi family

    I can find all that you've listed but none of it helps to find her death. The only Ivy Lane that had a death reg. in Bham 1988 was born in 1899. Best fit is still the one in 2007.

    Iris died in 1985 Violet died in 2003 William died in 1931 before his 1st birthday There is no death reg. for Terence up to 2024

    Iommi family

    There is a record that appears to be for the above Ivy Lane at Yardley Crem and a William Lane in 2010 at Yardley Crem that matches a death reg. for a William b1919.

    Iommi family

    Are you sure she died in 1988? There is no death reg. listed that matches for that year but there's one for an Ivy Lilian Lane in 2007? Did she live in Torrey Grove?

    I can't see a reg. for a sister called Ada but Iris was Iris Joan and Violet was Violet Amy.
