Hi - still continuing to research family connection with Birmingham back in the 18th & 19th Century. Have come across a birth of a Francis Charles Theodore Bland , son of John Theodorre Bland & Diana Bland ( nee Palmer) registered at 1 Lodge Road Birmingham 12th March 1873. Anyone know where Lodge Road was? or any information about Diana Palmer . From 'detective' work I think that she died in 1876 , but cannot find traces of Palmers in Lodge Road Birmingham. Any help will be appreciated. Still trying to track down parents etc of Charles Bland born 1790 and Sarah Orton ( Oughton)

Thanks

Steve

Birmingham Pauper Lunatic Asylum (or Lodge Road as it was locally known until about the 1970's) makes me wonder what happened if you were a bit barmy and RICH? Did it only cater for poor people? Does anyone know the answer to this I wonder?

Linda - many thanks for the swift reply. I know that "my side of the Bland Family" had a connection to Birmingham , Charles Bland came over to Derby some time in the early 1800's also Sarah Orton ( Oughton) came over as well , they were married in Derby in 1812 ; Sarah returned to Birmingham late 1850's / 60's as she 'booked ' herself into the Almshouses on Steelhouse Lane - Census 1861 - and died there 1863. Great Grandson Francis Charles Theodore Bland was born 1873 - the address on the B/cert 1 Lodge Road Birmingham. I thought that his mother - Diana Bland ( nee Palmer) may have returned to her parents for the confinement/birth - but if the address is a 'Hospital'/ Asylum - well that raises all sorts of ideas. I have found that she died 1876 . I hope she didn't go off on a tangent but who knows. A lot more digging to be done. Thanks for the directional prod.

In the 1871 census the first address in Lodge Road is 9 in the 1879 trade directory the same this been the north side
