We are trying to find out about our grandmother and we know one of her sisters - Minnie, married a Colin Norman Wood in 1929.

This is purely research for interest and to try and put together some sort of family tree.

Any information about Minnie or any of her family would be very interesting and gratefully received.

Thanks

Lisa

Hi Pom

I have had so much help form this site and the kind people here.

Macca has been invaluable in my search so far, and has found out far more than I have!

My grandmother was born in India in 1899, by 1911 she was living in Cumberland Street, with her widowed mother, Ellen, and her 3 sisters and 1 brother, Nellie (born in Ireland) William (born in India) Dorothy and Minnie born around Birmingham.

Her father was called Richard Edward Norris and died between Dorothys birth (about 1906) and 1911. We have information to show he was a R.S.M in the South Staffs regiment, but struggling to find a birth or death for him.

My father was born in 1923 in the workhouse infirmary to Ruby Norris, a single mum, she then went to live in a home for 'fallen women' and think she remained there with my dad until 1927 when my dad was put into an orphanage and she married James Albert Wilcox.

Her brother William, married Violet Peart and they had three children, sylvia, richard and robert. Her sister Minnie married Norman Wood. Not sure what became of her other sisters Nellie and Dorothy.

Her mum, Ellen died in 1929 in Birmingham south - yet to find out where she is buried.

My father is now 85 and after a life not wanting to know anything, now wants to know about his mum and her family and basically where she is buried, and his grandparents, is the main question.

Time may be short, who knows, and we want to do what we can to find out as much as we can.

My dad has a big happy family now, spread all around the world, has achieved alot considering or maybe because of his childhood. Regularly travels to Australia to visit my brother and to Bermuda to visit my sister, as well as having me and another daughter close at hand. There is now a curiosity to find out some things, nothing more. And of course myself and my siblings are very curious.

Any help would be gratefully received, working full time and having two teenage kids, and being a single parent, i have limited time available to indulge as much as i would like to!!

I will say again, Macca has been a great friend and a great help in all my searching, and has actually found out far more than I have so far! Thanks Macca - keep the fantasic stuff up! Im off to Yardley cemetary next weekend :-)

thanks again

lisa
