Many thanks as well for responding

Hi Lyn yes anything you can see is appreciated. It helps me fill in any gaps my mom has.

I just thought they were a nice bit of Birmingham History, and nice period clothing of the time.. I would have also expected there to have been quite a bit of history captured by the photographers the family used on Aston Road North. I suspect many family used their services at some point.

I know he was a Private James Alfred Parsons, the 1st 8th Battalion of the Royal Warwickshire's, and from the book by God do they fight and was able to ascertain which battle he died in. A colleague who is into WW1 went out to the Somme and traced the trenchline from records and found out that...

Many thanks all, your spot on it. Just called my mom and it jogged her memory, she did recall them living there when they got married. We think they moved to Park lane in 39, living next door to my Great Nan. I've enclosed below my Nan and Grandads wedding photo, taken December 1933, by...

Evening all, I have a 1930's photo of my Late Nan, I note on the back an address 150 Guildford Street, Lozells, it does say Allen on the back her married name but as far as I am aware our family have no association with this road, or address as my Family lived on Park Lane, Aston a short...

You comments did make me feel strange. My Family lived in the area for many years, (Geenwoods, Parsons, and Allen's) my Great Nan used to be the one who helped on all the births, and laying out the dead.

Many thanks for looking _ I will check that it was LH Greenwood with my Mom.

My Mom said my Nan said she had been told just that all his words come out backwards. It was after his fall from the teahre balcony.

Hi Lyn thanks for the response. Talking to my Mom, her Nan my late great grandmother Annie Elizabeth Greenwood (1887 - 1939) sang and acted on the stage when she was young. She even rode a horse on the stage but fell as it bolted. This may help ties down a timeframe. My Mom said it was Annie's...

Evening all, I am trying to trace some family history that is either related to the Astoria or Hippodrome. My Mom said that one of my distant relations was involved in the management of the theatre (I think it was the astoria) but they encountered an accident where they fell and caused...
