Hi all,
First off i hope i'm posting in this right section, if not, please mods feel free to move this thread.
I work at a school in Brum, and i had a phonecall today from an 80 year old lady named Betty Wilkes. Betty asked me if we has any information on her mother, Sissy Maude Johnson. She wasn't sure whether it was spelled Sissy, Sissy or Cissy. Or on her aunt, Ethel May Johnson. Unfortunately we didnt have any records dating that far back (Her mother went to our school in roughly 1907). I did spend a good 45 minutes talking to her though about life back then, i was fascinated.
Anyway im wondering if anyone has any information at all? I dont have much info to go on but i know Sissy lived in Handsworth, near the Soho road end. Would anyone know anything?
I would love to help Betty out, she sounds like such a lovely woman, it would mean a lot to me if i could help her even a little bit.
Hoping to hear something soon. Thanks all.
