St Ives Nursing Home Hunton Road Erdington

[BainesMann]

Alberta, I've got a feeling that the RO you spotted was Birmingham North. Don't know how long it was there for though as, like your Grandmother, Dad's death was registered in Birmingham in 1964. I wonder where mine was registered as I was born in the nursing home at the top of Hunton Hill. Will check.

I had a look at RO's in Birmingham and on Freebmd the following were listed: Aston (to 1924) Birmingham (to 1924) Birmingham North (from Dec 1924 to Sept 1932), Birmingham South (from Dec 1924 to Sept 1932) and Birmingham (from 1932).

Don't need to check now as I was born after 1932.

My mother was born in 1940 in St Ives Nursing Home, Hunton Hill. I believe in another post, I read it is long demolished. Do you know the exact location or what is in the location now?

Hello
Ancestry shows 1939 Kelly's directory listing for St. Ives Nursing home at 8 Hunton Road (which I think is just off Hunton Hill, Erdington). The listing names Miss E. Spencer & Miss F Cox (Presumably owners or managers). Google maps has a street view image at 8 Hunton Road which is a large double fronted house so maybe this was it rather than Hunton Hill?

I was going by the address on the envelope which states Hunton Hill but it is quite possible it was miswritten as I'm sure the Kelly's directory listing would be more accurate. Many thanks for taking the time to look.
