The first job I had after leaving school in 1963 was as a shorthand typist at the Alliance Assurance Company, which occupied a building on the corner of Waterloo Street and Colmore Row. Architecturally it is a very impressive building, with a clock tower that faces onto Victoria Square. And it...

Hi there, and thank you for your info and search. My Grandmother- who I never met - Elizabeth Gazey 1878 - 1835 was married to Alfred (Fred) Wheeler 1878 - 1970, my Mom Sarah Agnes Wheeler 1911 being one of their children. But as is the way, my Mom dying when I was 9 , and my Dad remarrying...

Hi ... unfortunately I don’t have ancestry. But thinking of signing up for these extra facilities. Interesting that your people where in Heneage St. I remember there was a little path off the street to the front door. A front and back room with a tiny scullery, dropping down into a yard with a...

Hi ... l am looking for a photograph of Elizabeth Gazey 1878-1935. If anyone has her as their mother, grandmother, or a great aunt etc. I would be delighted to see it. During her married life to Alfred Wheeler 1878 she lived in Heneage Street, Duddeston/Aston. Cheers Stargazey

Thank you for that info ... that makes 4 spellings that have come up fir her name - Endocin, Eudocia, Eudosia and Eustasia. When my fmp runs out I will take a sub out on Ancestry

Can I ask you where you found the burial entry for John Millard please? That is, how did you access it on Ancestry? I don’t seem to be able to get any original docs (other than parish records outside Bham) for Bham people on FMP - they are all transcriptions, even tho I have the premier package...

Thank you all. General Question please to moderators/staff and responders? Where can I access to more detailed info (like that from pjm) relating to Bham census etc. I use Findmypast but finding it limited when trying to dig deeper than BMDs. Cheers Stargazey

Does anyone have any info on a Eudocia ???born abt 1770, or the man she married John Jones MILLARD 1774, living in the immediate suburbs of Bham, eg Aston, St. George’s , St. Thomases, maybe. He was buried in Beansacre Street, Bham, in 1840. Hoping someone might know something. One of their...

Did you know ... and you probably do ... that there is only one Lawden Street in the UK. And because if that it has its own registration number. (This might be if interest to the Gazey seekers, as a contingent of Gazeys lived.) Stargazey

Hi there .. to anyone who has an interest in the ancestors of the Gazey family. I have traced mine back to Thomas Gazey 1752 and Mary Powers (Powel) 1752? in Weston Subedge, Glos, where two of their sons leave to marry Bham girls, creating branches there. (My ancestor is their son John Gazy...

Too right MWS ... but frustrating! Stargazey

PS from Stargazey to the post above. The children of Walter George 1859 and his wife Ellen 1861, are listed in Findmypast as Garyers ... Joseph, Ellen, Thomas and Jane. This might just be a spelling mistake or mishearing, but it might have hampered the search in some cases. Stargazey

I wanted to post something that has cropped up in my Gazey Tree, about George Gazey 1802, George Gazey Jnr 1834, and Walter George Gazey 1833, as I have seen posts chasing these people and/or their descendants. George Gazey 1802-1875 was borne to Jane Gazey 1778, who was the first child of...

Hello Lynn, it’s Stargazey. Would you know if Pat Heming is still a member of the BHF? Just now I looked again at exchanges on the General Discussion Forum - where I originally saw Gingerjohns enquiry about John Gazey - and saw that a Pat Heming replied to him in 2009 about her Gazey ancestors...

Hi Lynn ... how do I access the msg?

Hi Lynn ... just to report that - at last - I have cracked it! It wasn’t Moses and Ann in Bulkington, that were the parents of John Gazey, it was Thomas Gazey 1752 and Mary Powers 1752 in Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire. I did have some help from The Midland Ancestors Shop in Birmingham. £5...

Ps Bulkington, I read, had a big cottage industry in ribbon weaving. An off shoot from nearby Coventry’s silk weavers (J & S Cash who produced clothes labels were in Coventry). It ended when a large group (Huguenot descendants I think) sailed off to Canada. But was latter revived in an...

Hi All! And so happy to receive replies from such a large number of you! Thank you! ... Even tho some of you may have no direct connection with this Gazey tree of mine. Lynn has been v v helpful with my progression back to a Bulkington family, Warks, and I thank her for that. But in response...

Cheers! Hope to hear from you again! Stargazey
