proper brummie kid
Greetings from Massachusetts,
I am unable to find information on Edwin Rawlins born approx. 1902 in Sparkbrook and one of his brother's - William born approx. 1906. William was born in Kings Heath.

They are in the 1911 Census.

Looking in Kellys, you don’t give address of Walter in 1911, but (obviously edwin isn’t the one you are looking for , but the trade seems to be in the family:

Thank you Mike,
You are correct; they are all my ancestors except for Arthur Rawlins (I don't know who he is and
Annie Rawlins (1912) is either.

I managed to find information for the original stated Rawlins family except for Edwin and William; two of the children of
Walter and Mary Ann Flint Rawlins.
Thank you kindly
Carol
