Coleman's in Bourneville

M

Mary-anne

proper brummie kid
I am trying to find the family of Albert William Coleman who was born in 1914 in Plymouth and whose mother was Mabel Chaffe. He had a sister called Hilda born in 1911 and Ida born in 1916. Mabel was my grandfathers first wife and when the three children grew up they moved to the Birmingham area in the 1940's I think. I remember going to visit a Coleman family in Bourneville in the 1950's and 60's (who I think was Albert ) and his wife came from India who I think was called Phyllis and they had 5 children.

Does anyone know this family?

Regards Mary-anne
 
There is an Albert W. and Phyllis J Coleman living at 153 St Helier's road in 1955. this is northfield, rather than birmingham, but not too far away. In 1950 they lived at 80 city road with William T. and Elizabeth McAnaney,

Hi mikejee and ladylinda,

Thanks for your replies. This could be them and it must have been Northfield where I visited them as I remember it was near the Cadbury factory.

If you have the Electoral Roll for Sutton Coldfield in 1919 could you see if a family called Page was living at 1 Walmley Road, the house was called The Gables. If not this family it might be the Evitts.

I'm afraid that, for the period when the birmingham electoral rolls are online, sutton coldfield wasn't part of birmingham, and so was not included. For this you would have to visit the library.
