Civil Parish Harbourne, Urban District Smethwick, Hamlet Smethwick, Parlament Borough Handsworth.

Thanks RobG, I can make out 41 "Back of" too, now you have mentioned it:)) I will have to investigate whether there was a Cranford Street or something like it in Smethwick in 1891.

Just had a look on Multimap and there certainly is a Cranford Street in Smethwick now.

Thank you again RobG. Yes there is a Cranford Street in my A-Z of Birmingham/Smethwick.

I live quite near the area and can say today Cranford Street is not what it was in 1891. What I mean is the old housing has been demolished.
