Looking for information on the Garner family who lived on Allison St.(4 different houses), Sherlock St., Cooksey Rd., Small Heath and Cattell Rd., Small Heath. between April 1873 and March 1888.
Father: John George b. May 3, 1834; d. March 5, 1888. buried Yardley Cemetery.
Mother: so far no Marriage Certificate for John George has been found - where could we look for them? one mother: Anne, ne Howcraft d.? (mother of first child, b. 1873) second mother: Sarah Anne (Annie) ne Graham. (first child b. 1876, and three more children)) d. July 1886; buried July 18 1886 Children: all born in Aston, Birmingham, while living on one of the streets named above. John Henry b. April 29, 1873; d. March 23, 1950, Ontario Canada. have report cards from Park St. School and Meriden St. School. Elizabeth Ann b. July 26 1876; d. Oct. 14 1949 Saskatchewan Canada. Annie b. Feb. 17 1879 d. ? infant. Lucy b.Feb. 15, 1880; d. Dec. 20, 1940 western Canada. Emma b. Sept. 18, 1882; d. May 11, 1969, Ontario. All 4 children emigrated together to the area near London Ontario, under care of the Middlemore Society. They left England on April 27, 1888, not long after death of father. They were placed in different families, but kept in lifelong contact. All became proud Canadians,and have many Canadian descendants but also respected their Birmingham origins and shared some stories with their families.
John George is listed on childrens' birth certificates to have been a Machinist, fitter, gunsmith, gunviewer .
He had several siblings, including Joseph (b. 1837; d. 1900; buried Warstone Lane Cem.) Emily Ellen.( b. 1849; d. 1911 in USA); Ann, Henry, Susan. (1851 Census) John George's father was John Garner (b. 1800? d. Birmingham); and his mother was Elizabeth Kibbler (Korbler? (b.1808, d. ?)
OL - lots of information - but also lots of questions, especially marriage cert., and social history of the lives they may have lived in that area of Birmingham and that time period, that led the children to be sent to Canada. I may be in Birmingham briefly in late May, and perhaps there are specific places that I could visit to get more information?
