hi ray...what i wanted to know is does is come under all saints district...
its all to do with what church was close by..
lyn
 
Lynn St Georges Church was on Bridge Street West. If someone has a wedding cert or birth cert for the area it would show the actual district on it.
 
hi carolina st georges church was on the corner of tower st and gt russell st also taking in gt hampton row but bridge st west was very close...a member has asked me for a bit of help and i just wanted it confirming that bridge st west does not come under the all saints district...i thought that was over ladywood way...im confused now lol...

lyn

Hi Lyn

Did you find the District for Bridge Street West if not have you got a name of a person who might have lived in the street I may be able to find it for ?

I have recently received a birth certificate of one of my ancestors, Alfred Philip Green, born at 234 Bridge Street West in 1891 sub-district of St George Birmingham.

Not sure if this photo is on anywhere in this thread as I can't open the pics. I was pottering around the area and came across a survivor. As my grandparents lived in Bridge St West I took a photo before they knock this down as well.
