Bath Row, Simon Bernelot Moens

[Hein Moens]

My ancestor Simon Bernelot Moens, born in 1772 in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, married Elizabeth Broad in Kenchester in1831.
I found his last will, written in 1849. At that time his address was 99 Bath Row. Can anyone help me to find images of Bath Row of those years? Of course I would be very happy with an image of the house where he lived. He left all his posessions including the house om Bath Row to his beloved wife Elizabeth.

Second question: He died on December 31, 1850 in Birmingham. Where was he buried? I assume it must have been in Birmingham. Which registers are suitable to search for details?

Hein Moens, Hengelo, The Netherlands.

Did you know that there was an Elizabeth Moens running a Ladies' school at No. 59 Bath Row?

The 'Trees Inn' was No. 100 so if you can find an image showing this you may see No.99 next door.

Hi Lyn, I used the 1867 PO directory, the numbers were sequential at that time.

Aerial view (1935) showing No.99 (centre of image) to the right of the Trees Inn. Not good quality unfortunately as it was a small part of the original aerial photo.

Doesn't help much but Birmingham Photo Archive has this image of the Trees

In the 1880s numbering on Bath Row was consecutive, whereas now it is odd one side, even, the other. In 1849 no 99 was Mrs Elizabeth Moens Ladies boarding school. I will try and estimate where that was. It seems to be next to the Trees pub as Lyn says
