Give me some names, I may have found them, I have lots of info on the Keights, originally from Gloucestershire and a few moved from Inkberrow to Brum in the 1800s.

Possibly Alf. I dont know where it was taken.

Hi brummy lad, my 3rd great grandad was Charles Keight married to Ann Fenton, he was from Inkberrow and quite a few Keights seem to have made the trek to brum in the early 1800s. Does Charles fit into your family tree anywhere ?

Thanks for the maps Mike, 46 Gt Barr St isnt where I thought it was ! I was looking at it up on Multimap but the numbering must have changed. John Keight is listed as a Coal Carter on the 1881 Census at Gt Barr St which is strange unless he later converted it to a shop. He died in 1907 at Prince...

Hi Sylvia, unfortunately not, my Grandmother was Cissie Harris nee Bushell

1940 or 50s Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes photo Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes photo 1940s or 50s. My Grandparents Cissie and Ernest Harris at the back in the far corner. Maybe someone knows more about the Buffaloes ? Higher res copy here

This is a photo of my Grandad Ernest Harris and his brothers and sister taken around 1905. I`m 99% sure he is the one at the front on the left.

Thanks Chris, I wasn't sure anyone else would find it interesting. My wife also says it is difficult to tell the ladies age and could be anything up to 30 but she got married when she was 27 in 1929, would she have worked after that ? I don`t know. Ive got another one to post of my Grandad and...

I`m new here and dont want to hog your storage so I`ve uploaded a higher res scan onto a webserver here for those interested. It looks like an R on the maids hats. Maris

Chris, my Grandmother was born in 1902 give or take a year and doesn't look that old in the photo.

Could be Jerry, looking behind the group it looks like they are in a large hall or building seperated by a screen, there is also some sort of winch between the two womens heads to the right of the chef on the back row. Looking outside to the left there a some signs pointing left and right but...

Can anyone point me in the right direction for old photos of houses in and around Gt Barr St ?

Third row from the front, 2nd from the right. Cissie Bushell then Cissie Harris. I`ve reduced the size of the photo to post on here.

I did think about it being Whitlocks but looking at what the people were wearing I thought it wouldn't be a photographic studio and maybe they had put their name on the photo as they had taken it. Maybe if I look for other photos taken by Whitlocks and see if it has their name on the photo it...

No idea where this was taken but my Grandmother is in it ! Anyone any ideas ? Photo lost during hack, but I had saved it and replaced what I am certain is the same photo

Hi Pomgolian, thanks for the reply. Interesting that there is a John Keight from - "Inkbow, Leicestershire" think this should be Inkberrow Worcestershire, the Keights seem to originate from Inkberrow around this time, see here My John Keight and his family was in the 1881 census and he was a...

I`m researching the Keight name, my Great Great Grandfather was John Keight of 46 Great Barr Street (1881), 22 Prince Albert Street (1901). His daughter was Emily to become Emily Harris. Her son Ernest Harris was my Grandfather. John`s father was Charles Keight of 68 Booth Street (1851)...

I`ve just started tracing my family tree and 1st off what a great site this is ! My Great x3 Grandfather was Charles Keight who lived at No 5 (ct 1?) Claverdon St in 1861. According to current maps it no longer exists and would appear to be roughly where Bloomsbury Walk is now. I was wondering...
