You are a star! Thank you so much as that is really appreciated.

I am hugely indebted to all who have replied to my post and my sincere apologies for the time that has elapsed since replies were posted.

I am trying to find out more about my Uncle. At one time he had a jewellery business in the Jewellery Quarter known ( I believe) as Parker & Parker. The other Parker was a Fred Parker, although he was not related to the other, they just shared the same surname. I believe that they had a...

I know that this thread is a little old, but I am posting a reply because a great great uncle of mine - Thomas Field who was born in 1837 and lived in Birmingham all his life - was reputedly a founder of the society. I am just wandering if anyone has any more information about the society? I...
