Hi, new to all this, so fingers crossed!

Seeking anyone with recollection of Fred and Violet Wild in Birmingham in the mid -late 30's. My grandparents lived in Aston.

My Grandfather worked at the Midland Red Bus Company (?) and my Grandmother ran a corner shop and general stores.

Also, my great Grandmother, Josephine Richardson (see Richardson Post) married Fritz Wild in Aston in 1906 and he was a hotel cook, but I would love to know which hotels would have been around there at this time. She was an ivory button carder and her father, Joseph Richardson, apparently invented a machine to manufacture them. I do not know any more than this.
All help greatly appreciated.
 
Sorry, have no information for your request, only to say that my2x grandmother was aSarah Harriet Wild, who married a Alfred Griffiths in 1857, he died and she then married a James Hunt, they spent most of their life in Gt King Street and Unett Street.Father Benjamin Wild spent most of his life in Mott Street, all from working class folk.
