After yet another favour please!

I have been looking for Matthews living Woodcock Lane Northfield, and there is an Arthur G. Matthews showing for 1950. Unfortunately I am unable to see the address.

Just wondering if someone might please be kind enough to have a look for me?

Thanks very much.

Thanks Andrew.
I was rather hoping they might be living at the other end of the road! Never mind, worth a try, and thanks for that.
Can I impose just a bit more please?
I have no idea how this worked back then, as they would be employees, but I am really trying to see if any of the 'house parents' were registered at the childrens' home which then existed on Woodcock Lane - particularly if their surname was Matthews, and specifically in the 1960's
Time to look in the old-fashioned way and get to Birmingham!

Unless they actually lived at the home, they wouldn't show on the Eletoral Role there.

Thanks again Andy - I really think it's most probably just a co-incidence with a relatively common name.
Your efforts on my behalf are appreciated.

Crossed posts!
Yes, I agree, it's a really long shot - as I say, I have no idea if they were 100% resident in those days or not.

Judging by their ages, I would think they where well relied by 1950.
