St Mary, Birmingham - 1840s

[Ken Barr]

Could anyone tell me which St Mary's Church, Birmingham my relatives were buried at? From FamilySearch I got information that Mary BARR, lived at Bordesley Street, died 1846; Anna Maria BARR, lived at Edmund Street, died 1847; John BARR, lived at Thorp Street, died 1847 - all buried at St Mary Birmingham. From the FamilySearch list other people had lived at Steelhouse Lane, Prentice Street, Lichfield Street and the Workhouse - if that helps to get the right church.

I put 'St Mary, Birmingham' into a search engine and there didn't seem to be a church in the right place.

Thanks for your help.

I think it used to be in Whittall St.Dek

As Dek says, definitely Whittall Street and long since demolished. Here's a thread I started a couple of years ago which has links to other St Mary Whittall Street threads:-

Thanks for such swift answers to my question. No wonder I couldn't find the right St Mary if it's been pulled down.

Best wishes,
