You're right Zena - just checking if I have the right week for 1/2 term! Jillian needs to confirm this is OK for her. |

I can do school holidays Zena. If Jan can't then we can have different meet-ups. |

Not up to date with anything about the library. I couldn't even tell you the progress or not over the new library. I can fit in with your shifts but Thursdays are out as Al plays for Stratford Town Girls and we head down there for training on Thursday evenings. Does the library do a late opening at all on Fridays? You can tell it's been years.x |

Suits me fine. Thanks! I work shifts - but very few! - so should have no problem. |

Let's go anyway Jan. Strange how age hits you. Twenty years ago I was more self-conscious but still able to go be alone in the library once I knew what I was doing. Now I couldn't give a stuff what people think of me anymore but my courage at going places alone has gone. |

Got this Zena. I have looked at Google Maps and George Street West still exists. Most of it is 'modern' with the exception of a row of much older houses that were probably considered too nice to destroy. I have a copy of Wakelin's Street Guide 1942 which tells me that it actually ran from between 101 Spring Hill and Pitsford Street. If you look at the map it cuts off now and doesn't run all the way. You might try contacting Birmingham Central Library and asking if they can see from any of their historical maps if they can place the house exactly. |

Don't be too strict on the 9 month gap. |

One way of trying to eliminate some would be to make a note of the registration district where your gt grandparents were living in both the 1901 and 1911 census and search for infant deaths in those districts first. As you've said, you can use the dates of your gt grandparents marriage, and your nans birth to rule some others out. |

If you google B'ham rego office, you'll see the local office will accept the GRO ref. My guess is they have a cheat sheet to find which of their regos to look in, so for each quarter, the sheet says All Saints 101-111, Birmingham 112-133, Edgbaston 134-144, etc thru all their subdistricts. They would have a seperate set of pages for Bs and Ds. (Ms are a bit difft, as there there aren't subdistrict regos, but church regos so there'ld be a page range for each church). Now you know the Apr 1911 subdistrict, and the Feb 1905 subdistrict. Hopefully, they're the same, and the same for the B & D of the missing kid. |
