Wondered if anyone has a map showing 13 Court Water St (off Livery St) in the late1800s? My maternal grandfather was born there in 1891. Thanks in advance.

Hi Shortie, at the moment I only have 1 huge file. I agree that it would be preferable to split into individual name files but haven't looked at doing that yet. Probably over the Christmas hols!

I agree with Shortie, it's simple to import data from earlier versions. We've recently bought a laptop and both Chris and I have copied our two FTM data onto a USB stick and loaded it onto the laptop - easy! I also imported the old one into 2011 on my PC similarly.

Helen, I've used FTM for years and about 6 months ago upgraded to 2011, partly because they gave away 6 months free membership to Ancestry. (They've recently emailed me to say I can extend the free period until Jan or Feb, so I have!). Although the screen is very different to the older versions...

Carruthers, I remember the Greyhound well, too well! It was always a good starting point before we went down to the nurses' block at the hospital to find a good party.:emmersed:

Great pics Topsy

Is this it? The Reddicap Tavern, Reddicap Heath - pub details Address: 20 Hollyfield Road South, Reddicap Heath, Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands

That's a nice one Lyn, I've never seen it before. Thanks for posting.

Here are 2 more pics, the first is an advert from 1958 and the second is from 1900.

Here are 4 pages taken from an old Lewis's magazine my uncle had (he was restaurant manager there for several years)

The only one about the snow of that winter is this. It was taken in our back yard in Bromford Lane. I was born in November 1946 and my parents were forever telling me about the bad snows at that time. It looks like it didn't worry me at the time of the photo, I'd probably had a bellyfull of...

Me too!

Hi Carolina, my maternal Grandfather was George Southwell. He was adopted by Edwin Robert Southwell 1871 - 1926 m Elizabeth Rebecca Carrington. Edwin's parents were William Southwell b 1839 and Maria Savage b 1841

Thanks Paul. Looking on the post now the pics have disappeared. Don't know why.

Thought I'd re-post these 3 pics. I imagine they were on the original thread. I think this last one is supposed to be around 1975. Incidentally, look at the advert on the left of the 1st pic. "Buffalow Puppy Cakes"! I imagine it wasn't some delicacy for humans to enjoy but some sort of...

Lovely card Wendy

Woops, sorry Chris. Obviously a tricky wing half like Allan Campbell.

Blimey Chris, he's a big tall lad isn't he? What position does he play? Trevor Smith type centre half?

Nice one Wendy. Trouble with listening to music on YouTube is you leave off the work and just keep following links. I'm on The Eagles at the moment!

Working hard on stuff today and I've been going through "My Music" I have on the computer. This LP, "Out of the Blue" (whoops, showing my age!) has been on most of the afternoon. It's still up there for me with UB40, loads of Ska, Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Ry Cooder, MJQ and lots more. I'd like to...
