Astonian

gone but not forgotten
hi guys
i am looking for a birth of william stevens whom was born 26 dec 1922
the mother was a eslisabeth stevens i believe andi was hoping to find out whom was his father
he had a couple of step sisters i beleive and they lived in cromwell square i beleive and later
moved to white house street afew yards from carl chinns parents for many years
as i have traced my mothers family tree to the virtual end i thought i would try and track my fathers family
i beleive his mother was married before to a guy named jenning in aston;
i would really appreciate any of assistance in this matter as we have stars o the trail of stevens i am trying to se if any or any at all connections to mine
through this forum over the years i have found two unknown to me cousins whom i have been in touch with from my mothers side it would be great if there was any stevens family i do not know of yet
once again i thank you all for your valuable time on this if you can spare the time
best wishes astonian alan

Hi Astonian
Hope you are well?
In 1920, there is a William Stevens at 1 Cromwell Square
1922-1930 at the same address,William Stevens and Elizabeth Stevens.
I can't see either of them again for definate until 1945 and 1950 where there is an Elizabeth Stevens,listed alone at 4 back 32 Whitehouse Street.

Re: william stevens born 26 dec 1922

Hi astonian Alan
Stars here. I have done a bit of searching for you and came up with the following. William A Stevens Mother's Maiden Surname: Young Date of Registration:Oct-Nov-Dec 1922 Registration district:Birmingham Inferred County:Warwickshire Volume Number:6d


I see that his mothers maiden name is Young, it looks like the one. And i think this may be the death index for him. Name:William Albert Stevens Birth Date:21 Sep 1922 Date of Registration:Oct 1985 Age at Death:63 Registration district:BirminghamInferred County:Warwickshire Volume:32

I hope this has helped you, take care Stars (Eric)

Re: william stevens born 26 dec 1922

Alan are you sure about your fathers birth.
William Stevens married Elizabeth Jennings in 1911 Birmingham they had a son William Stevens in 1915 and there is a death of a William Stevens in Birmingham 1958 but his birthdate is 1915.
 
Re: william stevens born 26 dec 1922

I Knew a William. A. Stevens from Highgate Rd Sparkbrook he had a second hand shop and was a painter & decorator. The date of birth and death sounds about right, I don't know if there was any connection. He was known locally as Bill the Whitewash.

Buried at Handsworth John William Stevens 1939 register number 23198 - 3 in grave

Also William Stevens buried 1958 register number 41162 - 3 in grave
and
Joyce Ivy Beatrice Stevens buried 1981 register number 56442 - 3 in grave

I wonder if the 3 are in the same grave?

Hi Astonian
The numbers I gave you are for the entries in the register. If you go along to the office and give them the names, date of burial and register number they will probably be able to point you to the correct section. I know the lady in the office last week was very helpful when I went:)
