No sorry I didn't know your grandfather. I moved with my family to Bartley Green in 1953 when I was 3 and remember the Birmetals and Birmid buildings, that was why I looked at the Birmid thread, but will make a note of your search and if I find anything in the future I will get back intouch...

Dear Jean and family So sorry to hear your sad news, the loss of a loved one human or otherwise is a dreadful thing to bear. We lost one of our dobes to a stroke 2 years ago and it was an awful time for everyone, having a permanent reminder of Max will bring a memory and a smile every time you...

Off thread I know, but that was a blast from the past - I worked at Wiggins Teape, Church Street, next to the Old Royal from 1966-1973. I loved working there, but left as commuting from Worcestershire to Brum in the 70s took ages. They relocated shortly after to Chelmsley Wood I think.

Hi Chris I also found this death for a George E Hardy but as it is for 1915 I didn't include it in my previous post as I don't think he belongs to your family. You will see he was lost at sea and I just wondered whether there could be a connection as family knowledge can become rather...

In England and Wales adoption first became legal in 1926, while in Northern Ireland it was 1929 and in Scotland it was 1930. Before the introduction of legislation adoptions were arranged informally by organisations, or directly between the birth mother and adopting parents, and in some cases...

This reminds me, the other evening we were walking our dogs in the fields alongside the graveyard when some young lads asked us whether we knew if the graveyard was “haunted” laughing I joked with them that the only spirits they might find in there would be in the bottom of the bottles that have...

There is a death in Dec 1935 for Henry Taylor aged 54 Birmingham 6d 294, but as Shortie correctly says this won’t give you his dob, I had forgotten that dob wasn’t included until 1969. If you apply for a birth certificate additional information, such as a father's name or mother's maiden...

Re: Henry Taylor Hi Sleepybarb On all censuses that I can find it states he was born in 1882 (interestingly I can’t see him living with his family in 1891), but as you say there are several Henry/Harrys born around this time. So it might be quicker, in this instance, to order his death...
