I think master brummie has got it right Bobo/Bobb probably wasn’t qualified to vote and I have found on the national archives that Salifu konteh was given British citizenship hence on the ER

Update The death certificate shows the person who registered Bobo’s death was Salifu Kontah of Vincent Parade Balsall Heath. This person is now also deceased they died in 1991 at the age of 69. I say they as Ancestry has one record of same name same address being ‘F’ but the death record on...

This crossed my mind too that could open up questions about the rest of his name even his first name being short for something else eg bouboucar or other variants. The marriage certificate states “Bobo Tourey” however his signature looks like something else (see photo) looks like Blues Tourey to me

Any handwriting experts who can decipher the surname of this signature? One of the witness signatures on the marriage certificate for Bobo in 1956

Thanks for this Lyn I know Handsworth cemetery office is closed but this prompted me to look further and the cemetery is being managed by another so I have contacted them by form today to request any information regarding who paid for the funeral I have the receipt number etc so hopefully they...

Hello! Only info on 39 Reg is what I already found the marriage in 1956 the death records in 1980 with approximate birth year 1921 nothing noted from overseas unfortunately

Ohh ok, the death record says “About 1921” so definitely not really known at the time of his death, which makes me think he didn’t have other kids or partner in his life that knew him when he died

Hello! Yes I’ve seen the clippings you’re referring to I feel like the 1949 could be an error maybe 31 instead of 21 as the marriage certificate stated 32 in 1956 so 34 in 1959 is not far off. As they all just state ages with no date of births I feel there is room for error or guesses or white...

Hi Lyn thanks for your reply! I have purchased the death certificate just waiting for it to arrive it said 30+ days so fingers crossed. Handsworth Cemetery office is closed I have purchased the £10 burial info which is where I have gained the age and place of death so was worth doing. Really...

If anyone has any information it would be so appreciated - I am looking for anyone who knows of or thinks they may be related to Bobo Tourey he was of West African heritage and lived in Birmingham in the late 1940’s/50’s onwards. Believed to be born in 1921 but no exact birth date. Believed to...

Hello I’ve stumbled across your thread and know this is a long shot but have you heard of a Bobo/Bobb Tourey he was registered to be living in Burcombe Tower at the time of his passing in 1980 I'm not sure how long he lived there before that so thought worth asking as you never know, it is an...

Hello I’ve stumbled across this thread in a search for someone and noticed the timeframe you lived in this area it’s a long shot but by any chance have you heard of a Bobo/Bobb Tourey? He lived in Burcombe tower on Old Bell road at the time of his passing in 1980. I know it’s unlikely but...
