I have just obtained a birth certificate from 1892 and it registered in the sub district of St. Martins. The address is 6, court 4, Barn St, USD. I have found a map, has anyone any further information?
 
Hi Astonite

Barn Street runs from Bordesley Street to Fazeley St in Deritend. It is still there today and the last time I was down that way all the housing and back courts were gone and it was completely industrialised.

Here is a snap of a back court in Milk St which is a continuation of Barn St. The person you are researching probably lived in a very similar court you will note they were a type of maisonette / flat.

I also have attached an OS map with a little detective work you might be able to pick out the house.
