Hi Thanks for the replies
I have all the info on the 2 brothers sadly killed in ww1.
Clara Pennell death is a mystery to us. We've been to the archives and nothing there either.
Just wondered if there were any other Pennells on here.
Thanks again

May was Alberts sister I believe she was the youngest, also believe she married William Lears Oct 1913 in Birmingham

Re: Albert Hooper 1888
Another question I have, Is it possible to find Alberts family on electoral roll from 1921 address 18 Winson St to 1924 when family believe they left to move to Bilston.
Or is it something we have to wait patiently for 1921 census :-(
thanks
