Does anyone know about William J Yerbury? he had an Ironmongers Shop and in the 1911 census was living at 85 Showell Green Lane, Sparkhill. He had 3 children Elenor Annie never married and was a school teacher. Ethel Mary married John Clemment Oliver, and had a daughter Edith J Oliver. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you Suzanne. Yes I have the other census'. I am interested to know if anyone has any information on where the Hardware shop was and where Eleanor taught, and what happened to Edith J Oliver.

Yerbury Wm. John, ironmonger, 24 Highgate. rd. Sparkbrk

Thank You again Suzanne. Eleanor died in 1952. I don't know if Edith married (my next job) or what happened to her parents. Into Ancestry to see what I can find. Time lines help a lot. Maggie
