Is the general thought that the kids are from Grange Rd, I think my family may have lived in Grange Rd a long time ago, my aunt Joyce is ( I believe ) still alive, & may be able to help, but I have to go through cousins to contact her,
I remember my Mom saying my Grandad found a dead body in that canal which he reported and said it wasn’t a pretty site when pulled outI also wondered, if it wasn't near a railway station (the nearest being Bordesley) maybe it was by the canal. Was there a coalyard, near the canal not far from St Andrews ground?
I missed the biggest clue in my family tree my Grandma (mom’s mom ) is called Sarah Tranter so it’s more than likely Tranters coal yardSlightly earlier map shows a building next to 47. Tranters Yard is in yellow
