hi ladylinda
yes arther had a couple of shops on the aston rd north just along from the aston cross on the very corner
facing the golden cross ;and there was one down around bloomsbury street they had connections at the nechells nick because his brother ernie,
is wife my grand mother was a police officier william hinton and bertha victoria hinton married ernie jelf ; my grand mothr and my mother joyce ivy
was there one and only child ;he also had a property next to snow hill station in the fortis and fifties ;
i have been sent a photo copy of grt grand father and son to sarah jones ; and of mary ann hughes [jelf ] whom was his wife up until 1946
and i have got a pic of the rise and fall of the coffee shop at ivydene 901 tyburn rd where he lived right up until he died
and mary ann jelf took over and lived there with there daughter ivy jelf whom remained a spinster for the rest of her life to an old age
mary ann jelf [ ne hughes ] died on the 16 of sep 1946 so she lived 11 years and one day longer to george and and he died on my birth date and she died one day after my birthday ; then little ivy took over the house and shop bussiness ; and lived there right up till she died in the general hospital in the eighties it stood empty for years then sold on to a london firm but sold back three weeks later and set fired to ;and gutted ;[ so was i ]
but any way thanks for all your assitance in my research i have put this picture the best i can as it was down loaded to me of
george william jelf; but the pictures of the shop and the stacked brick work was taken by me ;plus other photographs but not put them on
alsop the picture of mary ann jelf was down loaded to me and there was a old picture of dear old ivy standing in a room which clearly
looks it had never been redecorated since her father died ;going by what i had seen the whole place from top to bottom as never been touched
she carried on running that coffe shop from 1946 right into her old ge and fell ill ; and died she only had one partner in her life whom betrayed her
he was the cobbler from lichfield rd whom moved in with her and took her to the cleaners and milked what ever finnace he could before scamping back to liverpool and leaving her lonely in her hour of need in the thirtys it caused a big fused within the family of brothers they told her unless he goes they would never put a foot over her thresh hold ;oh i forgot to say in the first place when george died he left all his sons a gold item and the grand children was provided for at a certain age ;there names was kept in a book ; but the book was never found it stated so much money when they was twenty five years old
i do know how much it was but i will never devulge the amount as i got some documents from london out of his vaults ;
but i got the third degree from london before any thjink was released on paper they say they would nrever confirm and tell me any think that i do not know and they would not disclose it to my solictor either ;
but any way i am going to try and down load a picture of him and of her and ivy ; taken what year i do not know i have one some where with the banna ovens and he his standing out side with some of his brothers and friends ; first picture ; ivy jelf; second pic;2/3 mary ann jelf 4; george on left ; 5th pic coffee shop ivydene 901 tyburn rd erdinton also there home where he started the coffee rooms bussiness
