Hi Eric, sorry I'm new to this. My dad lived at 10 Bk 79 Vicarage Road, from 1926 till about 1944. Can you point out exactly where that house would have been on the map? You may have known my dad or my family, they were the Benton family. There was Arthur, Frank, Amy and my dad Ron.

My mother was born at number 11 Vicarage Grove in 1915, her maiden name was Edna Buxton, she had two sisters, Iris, and Joyce, she was known as Jessie, my grandparents names were Harriet and Jesse, the reason that Joyce was known as Jessie was because of her dads name.

Someone put this map up for me before marking number 11 in red but I never knew it was the back of number 79, she never moved far from her birthplace, when she married my dad in 1943 she was living at 7 serpentine road, then they moved to 504 Witton Road, then in 1957 the were at 58 Tame road where she passed away that August aged 42.

Hi Terry, I'm researching the Buxton family tree. If I'm correct, Jesse Buxton married Harriet Cooper in August 1909 at St. Peter and Paul Church Aston. I have a lot of info on this side of the family, it would be good to hear from you.

Hi Jamie, you are correct, Jesse and Harriet were married in Aston Church but I was unsure of the dates.
Iris was born in 1913, my mother in 1915 and I think Joyce 1917, my information is that Harriet died after giving birth to Joyce, who was looked after by members of the family.
Jesse commited suicide and Iris was the one who found him, also other members of his family killed themselves too.
I have some information about the family but I haven't looked at it for ages, it would be great if you could get in touch with me, although I am not good with computers.
Happy new year to you and your family.
 
Hi Terry,

I Lived with my Wife at 1/128 from 1956 to 1961 between leaving the RAF and buying our house in Erdington. In pic 3 the shop on the corner number 118 was my Wife's Aunt Ann's shop, although it was a grocery/sweet shop then, it was opposite Aston Manor girls school, and the girls used to buy their sweets and pop there. It was also the school my Wife Doreen and her sister Edna went to during the late '30s and '40s. The wall at the bottom of the hill was Church Lane vicarage (for Aston parish church St Peters and St Paul). Edna now lives by me in Chelmsley Wood, my Wife Died over 20 years ago and would now have been 93 last month. Eric

Thanks for your reply. Just after we moved your brother Kevin came to Redditch on the bus to visit. Hard to believe it’s been 53 years ago.
