Hi All, For me, I feel that access to the 1921 Census has been set at a high cost. The 1911 Census platform let us buy credits and with those credits, we could see the Census data and the document together. To pay £2.50 to see that data and then another £3.50 to view the document, a total of...

Correct. That pic is just what it was like.

Many thanks. My Grandmother's name was Lily Cheshire. I suspect she may have retired around 1977. I remember going to her leaving party at the factory. I remember the reception telephone room where she worked. It was a row of ladies sat on seats with a board in front of them which had the plugs...

Great Picture and thank you. This is for sure how I remember that building. I also remember the transporters with the Rovers and Land Rovers from Solihull. I think they were driven to Tysley to be loaded onto trains.

Cheers, Chris. I would have done bigger, but for some reason, it would not update larger images

Yes, I did look it up on Google Streets myself. Looks to be a Cafe now. Anyone with a picture of that part of the street during the 50s would be very welcome. Hoping for Gaskell Radio & TV above the door.

Apologies if already in this thread. Picture of the roll of honours at the Aston Station.

Hi All, My GrandFather and GrandMother were both in the Fire Service during the WW2 in Birmingham. My Grandmother was on the SwitchBoard routing calls and information to the various Stations. My GrandFather, Cheshire was a Fireman. I am not aware which Station he was at. I do know also he played...

I have the address now. The Address seen in the Will is 164 Strafford Road. If Anyone has any old pictures of this area from the 50s it would be great.

Hi. Who can confirm the name of the venue in Birmingham that use to hold a dinner and live band night? Was it Thursday's ? I remember going to the place a couple of times in around 1978 1979. I think we saw the Hollies and may be Sad Café.

Hi Many thanks for this. I have emailed them. Kind regards John

Hi Thank you for that. I see just an email for them heritage.group@wmfs.net

Hi LadyLinda, Sorry for the late reply. Busy time. I think you hit the nail on the head with that one :) Yes it ties up with a Henry Hodges Census record 1871 children with the children in 1881 with Alice on in Manchester. So one can think that Alice Mum Maria was maried to Henry at...

Cheers that picture.

Looks very much like Maria.....

May be Maria....

Could be Maria

I now have the birth Certificate for Alice. The fathers name is not list on the cerfiicate. The mother was a domestic Servant. So I think she was adopted by Henry and Mary. Mary's middle name is Elizabeth and yes she would have remarried based on what i found Trying to make out the name of...

Ok to Sum up. Alice Bassett married to John Speed, which is correct. IGI has father as Henry Hughes. Census 1881, I found a Alice Hodges with a father Henry both born Birmingham. Age for Alice is correct based on birth Jul - Sept 1873. So was Alice adopted? John

Cheers. I did see this one and thought the same. But I think it is the Alice B in born Aston. Also we know that Alice father for the wedding was a Hodges. Its a good puzzel whihc I do like. :) John
