Oh Snowball, I hope you don’t think my/our interest is some sort of vendetta, after all none of us are responsible for what went before and personally I find this all very interesting. It helps build up a picture of our forefather’s lives as it happened. What comes over to me is the horror and...

Not directly Snowball's tree and mine have Ann Caswell as a connection, but as Ann was married to William Marklew who died, my connection came in when she then married William Henry Jewsbury and their son John Edward married into my Murcott family. Complicated, but that's why I love...

I thought I had come across the name Marklew before and when I checked my tree I found a William Marklew 1832-1857. Following his death his widow, Ann, nee Caswell, married William Henry Jewsbury 1830-1898 and they had a son, John Edward Jewsbury 1866-1920, who married my 2x great aunt Selina...

Hi I have come across this torn picture of children in my parent's stuff. I went to the school in the 50s. Some of the faces look familiar, but I can't put names to the faces.

Pic of two of my grandchildren Jack 18 months, Laith 12 months with our Doberwoman Tally who's 2. It can be crazy in our house sometimes, but this made me smile when I saw Tally's expression.

I remember this police station and I’m fairly sure it was still in use as a police station when I was a child. I moved to Bartley Green in the early 50s and often walked up Ravenhayes Lane, stopping to play in Raven Hays wood then carrying on up the lane, passing the Police station on the...

Congratulations to you and your family Lyn - there's nothing better than your arms full of grandchildren - enjoy getting to know him and his little ways. xx Josie

I think the disused Lapal canal tunnel runs under Woodgate Valley from Lapal Lane at Woodgate towards Selly Oak. I wonder whether this has anything to do with the collapse of the bus stop.

Thanks for the pics Lyn; my maternal grandmother Edith Green was born at number 11 Parliament St on 8 November 1889.

Thanks for making it clearer Viv and yes he did have a lovely smile, just like my dad, his brother.

Hi this is a photo of my uncle Gerald Joseph Heaney (1923-1999). I remember being told he served in the air force during WW2 and wonder whether anyone can glean any info from his uniform or what's written on the back of the photo. Thanks.

I came across this photo in my parent's belongings. It was taken Christmas 1951 (at a work's Christmas party) somewhere in Birmingham; I have no idea where, but the photographers name on the back says "G E Griffiths, 41 Forest Hill Road. Sheldon, Birmingham. I was wondering whether anyone...
