Hi Mike Sorry I think I mislead you to my last posting slightly. My baby had me up at 2am after his feed I came on the computer and waffled, my spelling on another posting is really bad. John worked in the pub trade when in Wolverhampton, he moved around a bit and came back to Birmingham about...

Hi Marg well youve had a bit of exbert help from some people haha, im sure someone will come up with photos from somewhere. Sadly i never know where to look for such information, thats why i joined the forum so i can also get help. Will look up the census to see if i can get any info. As i...

Mike that sounds like my man as he lived in Irving Street with the family. To be honest it was a stab in the dark at what years I looked for as he moved around in his younger years. What occupation is he down for? I know from the census he worked in the pub trade but was a tailor . I still...

Hi Im trying to find out if John Watson b1832 Rugeley worked for himself or someone else. I have found most of the family history on him, his wives and kids . He lived in the aston area and at the time of his death was a Tailor Journeyman. I just was trying to figure out if he had his own...

Bren What a star, ive got to say this history furum is brilliant. Only found it a while back and ive had so much help from members. I would never have thought of looking at the 1901 census, but im learning and will remember that. So it was a private house then, ive got to research but im sure...

Hello We have a death certificate for a William Kindon who died at Denmark Villa(Im sure thats the name of the villa but could be wrong) in 1902. Only one side of the road now has the old style houses, the other side has newer style appartments most likely built sometime in the 70s. Can anyone...

Hi David As the last person stated Dudley did come under Worcester. I found that out recently. I also have had the same problem with name swopping, it must have been so much easier back then to go by what name you wanted, guess they didnt have credit checks haha. So did the search help you, i...

Hi David got some stuff you wanted, 30 minutes isnt long enough but at least its free. So you still have some more hunting to do, sounds like you are slowly placing bits together. Im so looking forward to getting to the library, my old teachers would be suprised to see me studying. Adele

David dont forget to let me know how you get on with your 1911 search. Suzane spot on even to the children living with them, after that most of the kids moved to Kingstanding when Aston was redeveloped.

Hi David It seems Suzane has kindly given me the information i want. A big thanks to you both for that. I know they lived in Cowper street for many years. Dad remembers going down to see his grandad in the 1950s, they lived by Cowper Street Dairy. The locals were a wee bit naughty and used to go...
