There's was a Fox and Dogs on Lionel St. Map from 1889...

I like how it says linking Birmingham to Warwickshire as if there's a large river or something between them instead of them being right next to each other.

I assume this is from WWII, a photo of my grand aunt and her husband with 4 of their sons in uniform...

Always interesting. Had to pause it a couple of times just to get my bearings, too many different viaduct names. It would be nice to have a drone fly along the route from Curzon St to Water Orton to get a sense of the progress. I would also have liked to know if they are on schedule, especially...

Sorry, it looks like the results time out after a while. Select marriage, enter Phillips for surname, Robert C for first name and date range 1938 to 1938 in link below and you should get the result. https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

This is the marriage registration on freeBMD...

Hecla's death registered Dec qtr 1986 Aberconwy, Carnarfonshire. Eric's death registered Dec qtr 1990 Rhuddlan, Flintshire. There are 4 Labrum/Nickless births registered... Carole A, Dec 1939 Thurrock; Valerie E, Jun 1942 Lancaster; Susan M, Mar 1948 Chester & Kathryn E, Jun 1953 Chester. As...

When driving around Witton Cemetery there are several fairly large areas where there are no gravestones. Would these areas be old common graves or areas where bodies transferred from other cemeteries have been re-buried?

Sorry, another slip, she married in 1938.

My mistake. Think about it, it shouldn't be Elsie who is blanked out because she was born over 100 years ago. It could be but it shouldn't be. And it isn't because she married Robert Charles Phillips in 1928 and is living on Rodlington Avenue in 1939. There's also a blanked out entry with her...

Which would make Elsie a strong candidate for the blanked out entry with Rex in 1939. Probably ruling our the Dora Lilian Green/Jones birth reg. in 1926.

Could be, too many guesses at the moment. Could also be another grandchild but a cousin of Rex.

You an search births with a surname and a mother's maiden name Green/Jones for example at freeBMD but as I said before there are lots because they are common names and from the listings there is no way to know if any of them are relevant. https://www.freebmd.org.uk/ With so little to go it's...

Actually the transcript is wrong for William Taylor, he was divorced. He appears to re-marry in 1944, don't know who his first wife was.

Returning to Lilian, on the 1939 register she does indeed appear to be living with a William H Taylor at 204 Birdbrook Road but there are no details on the 1939 register to indicate what the relationship is between them. He is listed as married but there is no wife listed. There is a blanked out...

If you think she was younger then there is a Green/Jones birth reg. for a Dorothy M, Jun qtr 1936 Bham. Though if Harry did a runner when Rex was born it seems unlikely.

You can buy her birth certificate, though if she is not the daughter of Harry & Lilian you'll have wasted your money. Or you could wait for the entry on the 1939 register to be 'unblanked' though even if we assume that the entry is a sibling it could be as long as 8 years. To buy the...

It's virtually impossible to tell if any of the other Green/Jones births registrations in Bham around the same time are related. The names are just too common. On the 1939 register Rex is listed with his nan and grandad (and uncle). Tantalisingly there is a blanked out entry which could be...

There's one of the same scale about 10 years earlier (1901) but Gordon Road is exactly the same. There is also one of a less detailed scale from the 1880s but on that there are no houses on Gordon St.
