Steve Fermor
proper brummie kid
I'm trying to find out something of the background of my Grandfather, James Fermor. He was born in 1862 in Hertfordshire, and in the 1901 census was listed as living at 110 Lupin Street, Duddeston, Aston. He was a very skilled cook and confectioner. By 1925 his first wife had either died or left, and so had his children, and he had moved to 120a Heneage Street and had married my Grandmother.
She was considerably younger by 36 years and was called Amy (nee Twyford), and he had two more children, Olive and James (my father).
This age difference might have been something of a talking point at the time.
Something else that would have been a talking point is that around 1933 he tried to commit suicide, by then in his early 70s. He was placed in Erdington Hall following the incident.
A bit of a long shot, but here's hoping if anyone knows anything?
