Royal Sutton Coldfield Great War Project 2013 - 2025

I have been updating my original project from 2013 - 2018. I am adding the many more records now available, plus looking at the effects the war had on families who lost loved ones. I have almost finished this huge task and have employed a web designer to put it all onto a website - which should be going lived by the end of March. Some of the men listed on the memorial have remained a total mystery! I will let you know once the website it lived with the address.
 
Hi Brumbirder,

We were involved in a project to put forenames to all the men on our church memorial (St Michael's Boldmere). These were incorporated into a folder for the whole of Sutton assembled by a lady called, if I remember correctly, Yvonne. There was a folder for St Michael's at the back of the church and Yvonne's in the library at Sutton.

I am now involved in a project to see if we can find men who lived in the area around Chester Road Station who fought in both WW1 & WW2.

We had a few problems especially with a man who seemed to have used his brother's birth certificate to join up shortly after marrying 'in haste'.

I'm really looking forward to seeing your website - a mammoth task indeed!

I expect you have the information on the UXB in Welwyndale Road but just in case here's the thread on the forum:

Thread 'Information about Welwyndale Road Sutton'

Does anyone know about an unexploded bomb that did go off and killed my grandad Thomas Hatton on 25th August 1940 in Welwyndale Road, Sutton.
