Great set of photos Ian. BTW how do I keep missing you and Brian when I go to the Lad prior to Blues matches? Given up on it? (Don't think so!)

Careful Ray, this is a family forum!

Here's my Uncle's father's apprenticeship agreement from Oct 1900.

Dennis, thanks for those 2 pics. The first one mentions a "Pool Hall"!!!!! It was a snooker hall, I should know because it was a regular haunt at dinner times when a few of us went there when we were attending Bordesley Green Tech School. Always used to spend my dinner money on a warm fresh loaf...

Hi Wendy. Yes they're great. It's nice to have cards like but it's great when you know they were written by some long lost relative.

Alf, there were a few strange, (tongue in cheek or strange humour?), remarks then.

Another one from another side of the family, looks like 1908. By the way, if these are in the wrong place Admin, please feel free to move.

Here's a Christmas Card from my uncle's Dad when he farmed at Roughley.

Here are 2 Post Cards. They are from my uncle's uncle to his sister (my uncle's Mom, are you still with me?) from WW1. I think the abbreviation, DADOS, on his PC means "Deputy Assistant Director of Ordnance Services". Not sure why he writes "Sgt Coyne" there. I suppose they had to send post...

Thanks Miriam. My Gran was a printer in the button trade and her step father was a horn button maker. The family moved up from East London between the 1901 and the 1911 census.

Not sure if this is the right place. I'm trying to date some Air Force buttons I have. They were made by Buttons Ltd and on the reverse have "Buttons Ltd B'ham" and "Trade Mark" with an open pair of scissors between the 2 words. My Googling so far has just thrown up "1900's". Does anyone have a...

Thanks Len, thought it may have been.

A friend sent this to me. Probably some have seen it before. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxOR0QPq_0c

Great pic Chris.

Thanks jldell

Hi pollypops, Freda said that they will invite all relatives who have a grave with ancestors buried. I imagine it will be confirmed on their website and possibly in the local papers. If I'm the first to see it I'll post. Dave M, see post #60 for a link to the planning details which show the...

Re: Birmingham Schools Football History & Photos In response to jldell, I went as an 11+ in 1957 so the school already had this intake before 1960. Not knocking you, my memory is also a bit hazy now ;-)

Just had another contact from Reverend Evans and I quote: "Meanwhile, if you hear of anyone expressing interest about our work in the churchyard, please reassure them that it does not involve the removal of any graves - I hear this has been mentioned somewhere but I haven't the time to look -...

Thanks for pointing me to that Ladylinda.

Mike, Shera and Ladylinda - thanks!!!! Got a lot to go on now.
