She is most likely the redacted entry under Frederick.

Are right I see, ive noticed that happens on the 1939 census

Also exciting news, I am booked in at the church tomorrow to go through the register and then the map.
I said I already had two plot details but he wants me to look again incase they're wrong. So will be interesting to see if its blank for the whole year of 1939 for Maria. Also maybe Angelina has plot info, as I only have Giuseppe and Felice info. But I think I would be the same details there as I got from st Chads.
 
When the 1939 register was released in 2015 anyone under the age of 100 unless proved to have died was redacted. The register is supposed to be updated so people dying since should now be visible but there seems to be a time lag. (FMP is sometimes ahead of Ancestry in this respect) There were also errors.

Probably been there for just a few years at most, moving from Brearley St. The lived at 1 court 46 which was the back house to no. 284 where John's father and brother lived.

Just a short distance from where my step mom's mom lived at no. 246.

Yes I know my nan more or less grew up in moorside road yardley wood, so the above is where they lived before hand? interesting. Ive just looked on maps and it looks like the houses have gone from there too. Did they live there around the same time?

Hi Lyn

So sister Catherine has been away ever since Ive been visiting the last few weeks, I had left details with someone else there and then he went away on holiday. I went back Thursday just gone and spoke to the family living upstairs there who contacted sister Catherine who has passed on where the burial register and map is. So me and my dad went today for mass (we've somehow ended up going every Sunday since ) we are catholic but not all that religious, and we are booked in tomorrow at 10am to look through the register and map. I did say I had two of the plots but he said re look incase they're wrong. Im interested to see if there are any entries for 1939 as st chads didn't have any.
So im super excited. There's a guy who volunteers twice a week to try and sort the churchyard who will be helping me cut back where ever they are as half of it is overgrown, so while im there ill be helping to do the whole lot may as well as its a shame that they've been forgotten about. But then again maybe the family is no longer here.

All the back to backs of inner city Bham have gone and many roads have been altered so you're lucky if you find a relevant pre 1950s building still standing.

Yes, the family seem to have lived at 284 Brearley St for some years and when John & Florence married or soon after they appear to have moved into the back house.

Yes, they overlapped for a few years. Pretty sure my step mom was born there and lived there as well for a while.

Ive just had a quick google of the back to back houses as wasn't sure what they looked like, I read most were taken down by 1950 like you say.
Small world they both overlapped at some point.
