I hope you wouldn't mind if I added some details of my <B>family who lived in Winson Green</B> from the later 1800's and through into the 1900's.</div> <div> I have been researching my family tree for a while now and even though I have found a lot of names and and places etc, I have not been able to find out anything about them as people, as I do not have anyone I can ask about the people themselves, so I was hoping that there might be someone who may be able to let me know any stories or anything at all about them.</div> <div> My Granddad, Robert Horace Chambers was born in 1903 at 8 Back 42, <B>Aberdeen Street</B>, he was the son of William and Minnie (nee Downing), he had 3 older brothers John, Charles and Harry and 1 older sister Rose, I don't know about any younger Brothers or sisters.</div> <div> My Granddad married my Grandmother in September 1926 at the Bishop Latimer Memorial Church. My Grandmother was Florrie Marriott she was born in 1906 at 127 <B>Wellington street</B>, her parents were William and Selina (nee Holloway). When they married my Granddad lived at 26 <B>Beeton Road</B> and my Grandmother at 2/16 <B>Franklin Street. </B>The best man at the wedding was Alfred Yates who later (in 1927) married my Grandmother's sister Lucy.</div> <div> My Grandmother came from a large family and was the first born of at least 7 Children there names were Lucy, Dorothy, Ivy, Gertrude, Harry, Irene and I think there were two other children possibly Annie and Leonard, although I am not sure of this.</div> <div> I don't know how long the family stayed in the area or if any of the future generations still live there. My grandparents eventually ended up in Kingstanding where they both died in 1983 when I was 11. Their children (Eileen (known as Pearl), Robert (known as Bill) and Sidney all stayed in Birmingham, my father George (known as John) joined the Army when he was 15 and moved all around the world, he met my mother in Kenya (she is originally from the Seychelles) and they married six months later and remained together until he died in 1997. My parents settled in Worcester after he came out of the Army in 1973.</div> <bR> <div> Anyone who has any information at all about my family I would be really grateful to hear from you.</div> <div> Celine Jeynes<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" >celinejeynes@hotmail.com</FONT></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> 24/04/08</div> <div> Please can you help me?

Traveling back from Snow Hill he realized the train was not going to stop at this station and  jumped from the train. The door from Yeomans the butchers opposite was lifted from its hinges and used as a stretcher to bring the badly injured boy to the front of the station to await the ambulance.

My Great Grandmother SELINA AMELIA SHEPPARD (nee TROOP) was living at 525 Park Road in the 1891 census, along with her husband BENJAMIN and children LILY and WILLIAM BENJAMIN (Bill). Her husband left her in 1903, the children then were LILY, BILL, MARY ANN, ELSIE, TOM, BEATRICE (my Grandmother) and VIOLET. In 1914 they were living at 183 Musgrave Road - Bill was a POW in Germany. By 1924 they had moved to Back 3 Roseberry Street. I believe that the eldest son Bill was a watchmaker on The Flat, the only address I have for him is Key Hill.
