The parsonage is the same as the vicarage, and isn't that the building to the left of the yellow area ? Have you got a map that shows another building where the yellow area is?, The 1868 kellys is a bit out of date apparently, as it doesn't list Stanley road, but it does list Mr/Parson Milward as being at the parsonage , but it is listed as Nechells Park road.

Hi Mike the yellow area was just a generalisation, in my '43 Kellys there is only one address for that side of the road which is No, 8 Parsonage, but in the square are 2 buildings as you can see,
thought maybe it could be one of those.
Regards John.
 
Sorry john , I misunderstood you. i thought that you thought there was another building earlier on the site of the yellow mark. I agree that there seems to be two attached buildings , plus the two smaller ones to the right. On the 1888 and immediately after directories there are three entires for that side of the road, the vicarage and two others, each of the last two occupied by a Beresford. But i should have put on the later 1902 map (below) , which seems to show that the apparent two buildings are one (the vicarage). The red is Park house.
