Hi,
My first posting on this forum!
When my grandfather, Robert Langshaw Smith, left the Army in 1907, he is supposed to have lived in Medlicott Road. He was apparently employed by Alfred Bird and lived in one of their houses but he does not appear in the electoral roll.
So, I hoped that the 1911 census would help, but the family had by then moved to Wolverhampton.
In 1907, he had three children, my mother and her brother and sister. I presume that they would have attended the nearest school that was in Conway Road. So far I can find nothing to lead me to the school records. I wondered whether it had always been called Conway school or has it had a change of name?
Or does anyone know whther the school records still exist and if so where (they do not appear on the list on the archives web site.)
Here's hoping.
