Hello,
I hope everyone is well.
I’m from Australia and currently doing family history research with my mum. I’ve just found this group and very grateful I was allowed to join.
We’re having trouble finding connections/photos/history of some of our family from Birmingham due to so many buildings being lost from the bombings and demolition.
We are related to the Nightingale family who emigrated from Birmingham to Melbourne, Australia in 1860. Mary Ann Nightingale is listed on her birth certificate as being born in “TomKis’s Cottage, Grosvenor Street West, Birmingham”. We can’t work out where this might be? Whether it’s the name of a house or hospital/maternity home? Maybe spelling is wrong? Very grateful to anyone with ideas or info.
Also, any distant relatives on here?
Mary Ann Nightingale 23/9/1840 - 20/9/1893
Her parents:
Charles Nightingale 1809-1877 (born in Birmingham)
Mary Ann Nightingale nee Smith (1814 - 1843) (Born in Great Lake, Nottinghamshire)
I appreciate any help you can provide.
Thank you so much,
Ange
