Hi
I am looking for information on the above. I have some information on AJ and some pre 1942 photographs
AJ was born in Millom Cumberland, married to Annie ? died 1942 buried Erdington Parish Church in family grave He may have lived at 18 High St Erdington
While in Millom he was a shoe and boot repairer. He was still in Millom and unmarried in 1911. We found his death notice in family papers. Strangely I was in Saltley from 1965 to 1968 and worked in Erdington from 1971 to 1985 and no one in the family mentioned him! Any help would be good
cheers

In Kellys, Alfred John Wood was listed as a boot & shoe repairer at 18 High St Erdington from 1932 until 1943. In 1944 it is listed as Mrs Annie Wood, boot & shoe repairer. She carried on until sometime between 1956 and 1962, after which it became a florists. Alfred is likely to have been there longer, but the directory I have before 1932 is 1921, and all I can say is that he is not listed in that.
