Louise Road (off Victoria Road) Handsworth

[Malc Toy]

According to 19th century census’ my Great Grandparents John & Emma Toy lived in a now demolished, one up one down back to back terrace in Louise Road before moving towards the end of the century to a nearby corner shop premises, 38 Victoria Road where the entrepreneurial John Toy, opened a Green grocery shop. I wonder if anyone on this wonderful forum has any knowledge or photographs of this area prior to demolition?

Actually Lyn, following an open spinal operation surgery Christmas, I’m currently on holiday recovering in warm and sunny Fuerteventura and do not have access to my records showing the actual address in Louise Road. I can check the number when I’m home. Thanks for your help.

I can find them on a census in Louise Road at the moment. That address was from a directory.
Was John born in Wales?
