COTON Family

I'm looking for any information on my family that lived in Aston Birmingham around the 1900's my grandfather William George COTON was born in 1906 and later left for Australia there he died in 1969.His parents were William George and Fanny Jane COTON. Brothers and Sisters were Frank Henry, Lionel Victor, Edna May and John Thomas and Millicent. I think they lived in Devonshire street for awhile but not 100% sure on that. This is all the infomation i know so if anyone can help me out it would be a great help with my family search as i live in Australia. Thank you Natalie

Thank you Suzanne, i was told from my grandmother that granddad lived there but wasnt sure..at least i have a starting point as living in australia makes it hard to get info except off the internet and that only tells you what people want you to know...
would also love to get in contact with anyone that also lived in that street that knew any of my family. Once again thank you.
