Thanks Phil, do you know when they were taken? I was only a babby so I don't remember much of the old end but I do remember Dad mentioning the names Sparkes! I think they were from Inkerman Street?

I lived at 135 Dollman Street, Vauxhall, Nechells from my birth in 1966 until 1971 when I moved to 62 Hurst Lane in Shard End. I was there until I was 20. The following 27 years are as follows: Pithall Road, Shard End to Berrowside Road, Shard End to Glebe Farm Road, Stechford (then back to...

Hi Ness, He did mention some names but my memory isn't so great! Harry (known as Henry) 1880-1960 was married to Dora 1885-1950. Their Daughter was Betty 1910-1995. Betty married Dawson Collins on June 2nd 1934. This was also the day that Harry and Dora celebrated their Silver Wedding...

Hi Ness, I emailed the Grandson and this is his reply: "Dear Frank, thanks for your email. I have had a swift look at the Foster family tree in, I think its most updated form and cannot immediately see an Alex unless possibly this was a name that somebody was known by, unknown to...

I tend to agree you Len. I went to that site you told me about and it asks me to download a form to ask for details. The only problem is I don't know as much as they are asking for and they want permission of a living relative. The only one I know I could get is his only remaining living...
