I think you're right Lady P. I've a feeling The Green Lanes is/are nearer to Bordesley as in Green Lane, Small Heath.Although the area in Sutton is known as Green Lanes it seems very doubtful to me that this would actually be the area in question. If your relative had been living at the Sutton address he would have been buried at Sutton Parish church (also Holy Trinity). Lots of roads were known as 'green lanes' at that time. I took it that it was Holy Trinity Bordesley as I don't recall another one in 1829 (happy to be told otherwise though!) As far as I can remember churches were sometimes known as chapels-of-ease and didn't always have the right to marry people although they could carry out baptisms and burials.
I don't think this would apply to Holy Trinity as it was a high church when it was built in 1820-1822. It was 'taken out of' the parish of Aston.
Brummy Lad Thanks for that. The census entry that you show is for his son and family. I tend to agree with you and Lady P and favour the Small Heath Green LaneNot sure that we have the correct Green Lanes Jim. Is this your relative on the 1861 census? if so it is Green Lanes (Deritend & Bordesley) which came under the parish of Aston.
Thanks Pedro but do you know if it is the same Holy Trinity located at Camp Hill?There was a Holy Trinity Chapel, Bordesley.
Hi JimI am looking for a map showing the location of The Green Lanes which is shown on my G-G-Grandfathers burial entry.
Is it in Aston or is it what is now Green Lane Small Heath? I have done a forum search but to no avail. If someone could help me it would be greatly appreciated.View attachment 166306View attachment 166307
Thanks, Jim
At least it shows that there was a Holy Trinity Chapel in Bordesley, thanks.Does this help?

I Thought Holy Trinity Bordesley, but that was built between 1920 and 1922 and not consecrated until 1923. Wasn't Jimes GG Father buried in 1820?I think one of the problems we have is that lots of areas of Birmingham came under Aston Parish in times gone by and it's misleading as now we have the areas which stand alone. I'm plumping for Bordesley.
Samuel Crane was the minister on the death certificate you have JimAt least it shows that there was a Holy Trinity Chapel in Bordesley, thanks.
