Stretton, William Henry

Hello and welcome Shirley can you give us any more information the area of Birmingham and a time scale.
 
In 1912 there is a William Henry Stretton who was eligible for the Electoral Roll via "stabling" property on Barr Street. His actual address was 34 Albion Road Handsworth Staffordshire,from at least 1901..
He was a carpenter and had 14 children with wife Sarah (nee Whithers).He was born in Enderby,Leicestershire. I think they married in 1872.
In 1901 he was an employer.
 
Willaim Henry Stretton is listed in the 1912 Kellys as a builder at 86 vyse St, 110 Spencer St & 200 Barr St
