proper brummie kid
I RECEIVED SOME EXCITING FAMILY INFO YESTERDAY ABOUT THIS PLOT WHERE 6 OF THE WALL FAMILY WERE BURIED BETWEEN 1874 and 1939.

THE 3 WHO ALL DIED IN 1874 WERE CHARLES WALL AGED 31 AND TWO OF HIS YOUNG CHILDREN JANE ALICE AND JOHN MOSS WALL. ALL OF 27 UPPER HOCKLEY STREET.

Does ANYBODY KNOW WHETHER THERE ARE ANY VISIBLE GRAVESTONES ETC WITH WALL FAMILY MEMBERS ON PLEASE?

Thank you! That's amazing! This could take some time! What a fascinating research tool! Thank you for pointing this out to me.
 
Birmingham Daily Post - Friday 17th April 1874
Wall, on the 12th inst. age 1 year and 10 months Alice Jane only daughter of Charles and Sarah Elizabeth Wall of
27 Upper Hockley Street.
 
I think all the memorial inscriptions on the JQRG site have been copied from the actual headstones. Also they state the size of the headstone and the type of base it is on - I think they note if it has been laid down so I assume it is still in place.
 
Thank you! don't come back to Brum very often but will try to make the effort next visit to go to Key Hill. Never been but knew Warstone Lane well over rhe years but didn't realise ancestors were actually buried there at the time.
