I hope the moderators and other members do not mind me pointing this out but some of the comments are referring to "the other Clifton Road" - not Clifton Road, Aston, and therefore may cause confusion at a later date. William.

Ancestry often reduce their DNA tests to coincide with Mothers Day and Fathers Day. William.

I did an Ancestry DNA test about 2 years ago. I was advised results would take approximately 8 weeks but I received them after 6 weeks - however I understand they are taking a little longer at the moment. Ancestry DNA test results can be uploaded to other sites - unlike other DNA tests which...

I would like to thank MWS and Janice for their time and their help with my query. I did not find the information I was looking for - but due to their skills in research, found the birth of a child that I was not aware of. So again, thank you both. William.

This is the newspaper article. William.

Oh dear, it would appear young Emma Preston/Davis was not the young woman i thought she was. I have just found a newspaper article (1894) whereby Emma Davis was arrested for being drunk and a prostitute and behaving in an indecent manner. She was living at 82 Burlington Street, which is the...

MWS - my apologies re birth for Emily Gertrude - this is the baptism (see attached) I looked at when i said George was a jeweller. William

Janice, If the age of 34 years old is correct (as per FMP) then the Emma Preston on the census is Mauds mother. If the age of 64 years old is correct (as per Ancestry) then Emma Preston on the census has to be Mauds grandmother). William.

Janice, thank you I did not see the baptism for Emily Gertrude May, there is another birth with a George Davis as a Jeweller that I had found. William.

I have attached (or hope I have) part of the 1901 census which shows age of Emma Preston as 34 years old (not 64 years old. So this must surely prove this is Mauds mother (and not grandmother). William.

Emily Gertrudes father - George Davis was a Jeweller - whereas Mauds father George William Davis was a Tool Maker - which is stated on marriage and census registers. I will certainly follow up the information of the 2 Davis/Preston male children thank you. William.

Maud Alberta (young Emma Prestons daughter) marries Joseph Langdell in 1914 (after giving birth to 3 children) - she uses the name Maud Alberta Davis on the marriage record. The 1911 census for Maud and Joseph Langdell actually shows them and the children under the name of Davis - living at...

Janice yes I have that information, thank you. I also have Emmas (senior) death certificate in 1928. William.

Yes Janice that is correct. William

MWS Emma (Emily) and George did separate and are living with their respective family in 1891 and yes George remarries in 1898. I have only found the birth of 1 daughter - Maud Alberta who marries in 1914. 1901 census on Ancestry shows Emma Preston aged 67 occupation ?press worker - born...

Janice thank you so much for that information. That may be very useful in as much as Alfred Clarke was the husband to Selina (Preston) - daughter of Mrs Emma Preston and sister to the younger Emma. William.

Thank you MWS and Janice for your very speedy responses. Would female residents be listed or just males. I am specifically looking for 2 females Mrs Emma Preston and her daughter Miss Emma Preston (or possibly known as Mrs Emma Davis). Arthur Preston son of Emma Preston senior and brother of...

Do any members know if there are any residential directories which would show who was living at the above address in 1913 and 1914. Thank you in anticipation. William.

May I ask what number (on High Street) would the Kings Head public house have been. William.

Good Morning Bottom row - 4th from the left is Tommy Thornton (Big Tom) - and same row 3rd from the right I believe is Spuddy Baker. However please feel free to correct me if I am mistaken. William.
