Catanach Confectioners Shop Turves Green Birmingham

[Robinson]

Hi all
I am new to the site, I am looking for any info on my ancestors. James Hirst Catanach and his wife Elizabeth owned a confectioners shop in Turves Green. They had two daughters Lillian and Vera.
I would be very grateful for any info.

Thank you very much to everyone for all the valuable info, I did not expect to get such a fantastic response so soon. It would be great to have a photo of the shop at 81, Turves Green if there are any out there. Also some info on Vera did she have any children etc.

Thanks again much appreciated

Thank you for the info, I don't think Lillian had any children either.
