Yes Judy, I'm surprised that there are so many "exotic" dishes, West Indian Turtle Soup, Bortch a la Russe, Homard Americaine etc.

I think I posted this but on another thread which I can't find now, sorry! My Uncle was Restaurant Manager in Birmingham, Liverpool and finally Hanley for a few years. I hope this Leeds menu from Friday 16th 1934 brings back a few memories even if we weren't around at the time.

Thanks Mike.

Morning Lyn, yes I'd heard the Edgbaston Church referred to as the Old Church Edgbaston before but wondered if there was one just called Old Church. I've been searching for their marriage and whoever wrote the parish record misspelled the surname. It' Cottrell, not Cotterill. I've found the...

I've been browsing the Parish Records books of St Nicholas, Warwick and came upon a reference to the "Old Church" Birmingham. This is in releation to a Mary Nicholls who married a Jonathan Cotterill on 12th Dec 1853. He was in the Warwickshire Militia and was away with his Regiment leaving Mary...

Lyn, how many of us, when we see this sort of pic, look for our relatives or even ourselves? I know I do!

Blimey Lyn, I thought you'd mis-typed " bressumer" but I Googled it and now I know what it means. Ain't yow clever!

Smashing comparison Lyn, thanks.

Thanks Viv, fascinating. Bit like looking through a person's ear to see if you can see out the other side!

Nice one Colin!

Just worked it out that if every member gave 2p to the Forum, Warren could have over £100 to have a smashing meal out to thank him for all his hard work!:smug:

Thanks for the aerial view Stitcher.

Not a major problem Warren but when I enter my username and password I get this error message: Invalid Redirect URL (https://forum.birminghamhistory.co.uk/forum.php?) I just click "What's New" and i get on. Just thought I'd mention this in case there's something I'm doing wrong. Cheers Edit...

Carolina, thanks for that info I'll try to see if there's Sarah somewhere who married a Timmins in my tree. That's a big co-incidence Astonite. Haven't yet found a Henry W in my tree but with Grosvenor Rd being involved I'll do more digging.

Yes Paul, Ada was at 28a Grosvenor St in 1956. Don't suppose you have any contacts with any of the children?:dispirited:

My Grand Uncle, Harry, also known as Henry, Fowler lived in Aston until his death in 1952. I remember visiting his grocers shop with my parents when I was quite young. He was married to Ada nee Stacey. They had, I believe the following children: Ada b 1898 William b 1901 John E b 1910 Celia b...

Yes, like Viv says, you're much appreciated Warren. (Did you watch the match last night or were you too busy working?) Thanks again mate.

Yes Lyn, Jean which picture shows your grandad?
