My Great Grandmother's sister, Lilian Maud Powell (b1886) married John (Jack) Walton in Aston (Warwickshire) 1913. |

Birmingham RO should have Kelly's Directories which would give details of shops and businesses. Tricky one though as the business could have been called something else and they may have lived elsewhere ... But, even so, worth a try. |

Lovely to see stuff about somewhere I know! Have driven along there many times. My Powells lived just arounf the corner in Coldbath Rd. - but too common a name to make much of that! |
