I used to work with a Ronald Reeves many years ago, he used to live in
Handsworth but not sure where.

There maybe no connection of course.

I dont think I know of a Ronnie, dad had brothers George, Raymond,and sisters Ivy, Lily, Flo and others, thanks anyway:)
 
Wow things are happening so fast, so my Great grandmother on my mothers side is Sarah Ann born in 1867, will i be able to get a birth c for her?
 
If you look at George Alfred's pension records as I suggested in my email to you, you will see the name of his father, William Francis if I remember correctly, then you can look in earlier census years for him and maybe look up his father and sarah ann's marriage to get her maiden name.
