Hi Astonian, I hope you are well?
Charles and Edith Marsden (nee Stevens) lived at 10 Park Street from 1950.
Children were Valerie (1943) Christine (1948) and Sheila (1956)
Roger Ensor born 1942 married Valerie Marsden in 1960.
His parents were Walter and Ida Ensor (nee Chadwick) and lived at 56 Lynton Rd.
Son Roger,and daughters Rita (1944) and Patricia (1938).
As the Electoral Rolls only go as far as 1960 on-line, Roger and Valerie are not on there.
Brenda (1930) was the daughter of Herbert and Annie Ensor (nee Goodall),with sisters Christiana (1920) and Muriel (1923).
They initially lived on Portland Rd,moving to 400 Dudley Rd in about 1935 until about 1955.
Brenda married a William Culwick in 1956.
Hope this helps a bit?

yes roger married my cousin val marsden and they had a small house some time in the sixtiy area on upper thomas street behind HP Sauce factory and it was facing tower rd aston and the electrical tv shop on the corner of tower rd
but there marrige did not last long ;as val fell in love with another guy whom is she is still happyly married to him today
roger i beleive either he committed sucide or attempted to do it after she left him for the guy she is with today ;
her mom was edith and she was my dads sister and along with maud whom was a stevens and married a billy smart
and rita ensor was a brides maid at aunty mauds wedding and i was the page boy at it as well i was only a little kid at the time possible about six

I was at school with a Gary Ensor, they lived in the Sheldon area of Birmingham, not far from the Wheatsheaf on the Coventry Road, last time I saw Gary was on the TV he had taken to living on a barge. Don't know if any connection to your family. That was mid 70's to early 80's when I was at school with him.
