I'm not sure on that one Bren? It is possible they may of changed it. I will ask Mom if she knew when I see her next. Thanks. It is amazing how quickly a scribbled down family tree can grow! I wasn't expecting to write down so much and there is still more on Dad's side to find out as well!! I...

Hi Bren, LOL :D Thank you, I am quite chuffed! I will do that and fingers crossed on Oliver Jnr! :)

Right Bren brace yourself lol! :D Nan (Beatrice Violet): Married Oliver G Alcott date unknown. Oliver G died in 1940 of TB and double pneumonia . He is buried in Wolverhampton. He had a Sister Violet that was married to Jack, last name unknown, and a Brother Fred who may of been married to...

Hi Bren, after seeing Mom today, and making lot's of notes, it all gets VERY confusing indeed! :D I will post what I know so far soon.

Thanks Jean. It was a serpia colour but I changed it to black and white! :-)

Hi Bren, hope you are doing well? Regarding : I then looked to see if Beatrice V had remarried and found nothing I forgot to mention that Nan did remarry after Oliver G died. She married Theodore Parker, at least I think he was a Parker? This is where the name Mayo comes confused! Theo was...

Hi Bren sorry for all the confusion! I haven't been able to see Mom and Dad yet to verify things! Beatrice M Allcott/Thomas A Devlin 4th qtr 1956 Birmingham 9c 629 I do remember Mom mentioning the name Devlin so I think that is correct?! I also remember Mom mentioning the name Mayo as well...

No problem. Thank you again for that Michael! Take care. :)

Thanks Michael. Do you know how I could contact her? :)

Hi Michael, sorry to hear the sad news. Thank you for your help. I am trying to find information because The Foster Brothers owned Deerwood Grange before it was sold! Your help is really appreciated. :)

Here is a photo of my Grandad William Parker (My Dad's Dad) I think! He was from Wolverhampton and is seated to the left and was only young here!

WOW! THANKS Bren and Di! :)

Good for you Pinky! It don't worry me Alf, just annoys me. I am proud of being a Brummie, happy of how I speak, and think those that try to do our accent just sound very silly!

Thanks Dolphie! Thanks Lloyd although I wonder if that article was actually written by a Brummie at all?! The only times I have heard people saying things like yow (you), wun (one), uv (of), und (and), moest (most), as been from my Dad or relatives/locals when I have been in Wolverhampton. I...

Hi Lynda, thanks! I bet the conversations were good in your house on local derby days! lol Of course it is just my opinion about how people outside Brum do the accent but it does annoy me so!

Much appreciated Bren, thank you, your a good 'un! :)

Thanks Bren. :) Sorry for sounding thick lol but where do I ask for a copy of certificates and how much do they cost? :rolleyes:

I know there is some similarity between a Brum accent and a Wolverhampton accent but I do get really annoyed when people attempt to do a Brummie accent and always sound like they come from Dudley or something! Now I am not knocking the Wolverhampton accent, both my Parents were born in...

I was born in 1966 and was only four when my family left Dollman Street, Vauxhall, Nechells. My Sisters went to St Anne's and some went to Duddeston after for a short while. I vaguely remember playing in the train park nearby! Our house was a back to back, had a cellar, outside toilet, brew...
