Hi Witton Cemetry is one of the biggest cemetries in the midlands, it has a web site that is worth a quick look if you just put a search in for Witton Cemetry. I must take alook at it on the google map, never thought of that. I also have relatives in common graves and need to find out more, as...

Hi David if you only have 30 minutes on the 1911 census get a head start at home, you can put details in and it will give you possible matches. Just to say that census also has several pages as well with the district and allsorts it can be intresting to look at. If you get time could you look up...

Hi David What a shame denying your Aston Roots. From a few nearly 90 year old relatives Aston was a good place, people always had time to help one another, and well Ozzy Osbourne came from there.

Back again Have you looked at the 1911 census ? I have done at least 6 searches and at last located them. If you get the page up look for Ellen first and then put in Harriets name after. Birmingham as the residence, it comes up with them of course you would have to pay for that. Im not sure if...

I have now found them on the 1901 census. I have also gone back to the 1881 census, have you got that Charles parents were Thomas and Francis, she was a lot younger than him. Intresting to see that Charles was born in Birmingham and then moved to Worcester had children and came back to...

Have you tried the mormon site FamilySearch.org-search, they come trumps with some information, not all information though. Shame that familys just cut themselves off from one another. I also find that some family members will not give family history away and would rather destroy photos and...

Its strange cause most of the areas you speak about are the stomping ground for our Hunt family, They lived in Aston slowly moving from the top end where Aston University is today and then slowly moving down to Newtown and eventually Kingstanding when Aston was redeveloped in the 60s. Ive just...
