Gone, but not forgotten.
Hello Dave,
It was a long way from Balsall Heath, I can tell you that much. It was also a bit of a rough pub at times. I drank in there for a while in the mid eighties. I believe it has like most pubs closed now.
What did you want to know, but I have to admit I don't remember much about it.
As to your other requests people need more information if they are to help you.

The Amy Wassall born 1880/81 was Amy Flora she married in 1902
The only other Amy wassall was born 1886
1901 41 Rea Street,
Thomas Wassall age 50 blacksmith
Sarah age 54
Henry age 17
Amy age 15
Arthur Bickley is a bit more difficult because there are a few possibilities.
The marriage certificate with the fathers anmes would be a help.

Amy Wassall was not born Amy Wassall. She was a mystery to me for quite a few years until the 1891 census was released and I could confirm some details. I will have to dig out what I have on her but from memory her mother was married at least twice, Amy's brother was registered as a Wassall but Amy had the name of her 'father'? I am working from memory here so not promising to be exact on the details. I will dig them out asap.
I joined this forum today having found it quite by chance and come across the original question about Amy and Arthur. I see that the question is quite old but if anyone is still interested I will find and post the information.
Regards. J

Amy Bowyer's birth was registered Sept 1/4 1886 Ref:6d 101 Bham
She married Arthur Bickley August 3rd 1913 at St.Cuthberts Church. He was age 25 batchelor, profession rubber trade, living at 148 Peel Street. No father info. Her details are age 26 spinster, lamp mounter residence 31 Carlisle Street. Father Thomas Wassall, striker
Her brother Henry Wassall was born 24th Feb 1884 at 28 Camden Grove, USD, in sub district of Ladywood. Mother only named as Sarah Bowyer formerly Palmer office cleaner
I have a copy from the library film of the marriage cert. He married Florence Gardner 11th June 1905. He gives his father's name as Thomas Wassall, striker. I know this is the correct Henry as Amy has signed as a witness. I have her signature also on my grandmother's marriage cert.
I have a copy of the marriage cert for Thomas Wassall and Sarah Bowyer. He was 36, batchelor and she was 43, widow. Residence for both Bordesley Street. Her father was showh as George Palmer, Varnish Maker
I cannot be 100% certain that these are mine but they fit? I've only had this info since beginning to do the FT on the internet so not checked at all.
[From FreeBMD Sept 1/4 1866 Marriage of Sarah Palmer and William Bowyer Ref: 6d14 Bham]
[From FreeBMD Dec 1/4 1867 Death of William Bowyer age 25 Ref: 6d 193 Aston]
Timeline is
24th Feb 1884 Henry born (surname on b/c Wassall) to Sarah Bowyer nee Palmer
Sept 1/4 1886 Amy born (birth reg surname Bowyer)
Jun 1/4 1889 Sarah (her mother) m Thomas Wassall
Things get complicated if I have found the correct marriage for Sarah and William and death for William because if it is, Amy must have another father. Henry who was born before her has the surname Wassall and then his mother married to Wassall.
My maternal grandmother on whose marriage cert I first noticed the existence of Amy Wassall has an almost identical birth story to Amy.
My maternal grandmother was Ada Selina Wassall b 1886 to Sarah Ann Maria Wassall. She had a brother Walter born 1884 so the years of birth for Walter and Henry (1884) and Ada and Amy (1886) were the same. A couple of months after my grandmother was born, her mother married William Arthur Tysall and my grandmother married under that name.
I only began to use the internet for family history recently and have concentrated on my husband's side of things. At some point when I am less busy I will try to confirm the details for William Bowyer are correct for my family.
I've now got brain pain. Hope this makes sense and apologies if I have confused too many.
