8556 Pte AG Fairbrother RWR
My husband’s great uncle Pte Alfred George Fairbrother may or may not be on a war memorial in Birmingham. We spent some time searching unsuccessfully when we lived nearer and we felt that St Andrews in Bordesley may have held the key. He married there. However, as it was knocked down our search couldn’t continue. Would anyone be able to advise please? I dnt need any other info as we have a lot of detail on Alfred it is just a question as to whether the family had him on a memorial. He is in the book of remembrance in the City. His address was Lime Grove Little Green though his wife did move we think after he was killed in action on 10 April 1917.Thank you

Thread 'St Andrews Church Bordesley Green'

Has anyone got any photos of this Church? My parents got married there in 1959 but sadly it was demolished a while ago, I can vaguely remember it. Thanks in advance.
