Hi Folks ;)

Thanks for the 1892 & 1897 Kelly,s information ( Rod supplied) 08-13-2004
to "Esther" (My little sister ) request of 08-12-2004 re GG,Grandfather

Charles Young, Beer Retailer @ 304 Lichfield Rd, Aston Manor.(also on 1901 census, Family certificates are held.

Further research has shown the Premises known/Named as "Red Crown"
Could you kindly check out the 1903 KELLY,s & ascending Kelly,s
1905, 08, 13, 15 to ascertain when his residence/Publican position changed & if possible who "took-over-resided" at that address,
Possibility of a Surname "Butler" may appear, (Wife Harriet- maiden Butler
may have taken over the residence/license/beer on Charles,s death.

It is beleived that Charles died somewhere between 1901 -1915 so
any information would be appreciated,
Thanks & Best Regards, John Y 8)

John H, Thanks for your prompt & very informative response, the fact
that GGG/dad Charles not at 304 Lichfield Rd in 1903 is good info :)

Charles was born in 1849 Higham Ferrers, Northamptonshire so 50 in 1901

"Family" info that he went on holiday with wife Harriet & son Ernest Young
(Born 1893) to The Isle of Man, had unfortunate accident, slipped down
some steps ,never fully recovered & "eventually" died of injuries etc.

Trying to find, When accident occurred & place of death (Isle of Man or
back home in Birmingham )?
Again thanks for your help John H,, re John Y 8)

Charles Young died April quarter 1904 aged 55 born about 1848 Birmingham 6a this is the only one I can find that is roughly the same age you would have to get the certificate to check it out

Thanks John,
This confirms my research as the April Q 1904 Birmingham as the
"probable" & will obtain cert next week at B,ham Reg Office.

Incidently the premises "Red Crown" beer-retail 304 Lichfield Rd
later became a Post Office as mentioned by other members ref to
Lichfield Rd postings,

Again Thank You for your excellent assistance/guidance
Much appreciated, Cheers John Y
