Gt Arthur Street, Smethwick
« on: Friday 18 March 05 13:18 UTC (UK) »

Can anyone tell me who lived at 4 Gt.Arthur Street, Smethwick between 1886 - 1907 ?
I can't find my Law family on the 1901 census but know they lived in St George Street  when married and children born, 1885 onwards. I have a family bible and Gt Arthur street is mentioned.
Many thanks

Do you have any first names for the family.

There are Lwas in the area but not in St George or Gt Arthur Street

Hi,
thanks for reply. My Law family in Smethwick are JOHN LAW, his wife ELIZA, daughters ELIZABETH ANN, ELIZA, ANN and son JOHN R. On1891 they lived in 116 St George street but on birth certficates etc they are also at 106 St George street.
Cant find them on 1901 even though I know they are there somewhere and the children grow up, marry and have children in WB or Smethwick.
Any help appreciated.

Hi
I have found a rather large Law family which seems to fit the bill. They are now living in Brasshouse Lane at no 14.
I have attched a list for you.

The census is RG13 / 2822 Page 5 Folio 113.

Hope this helps
Carol

Carol
You are so brilliant - I cant thank you enough. Although your findings do somewhat confuse me too !!
JOHN and ELIZA had 4 children as afar as I knew about, other Law families had children with the names Albert, Lilly etc - now it seems they belong to my family which is growing all the time.
Cant believe they are in Brasshouse Lane, Ive scoured the 1901 census without luck and virtually gave up on them - though they are absolutely vital to my research as my maternal and paternal side are linked to these family !! ( long story which I wont bore you with) but does mean they are vital to me.

My Dad's Mother Lucy Button came from Brasshouse Lane and is shown on the 1901 census there - fancy another of my trees living a few doors away - small world and all that.

Many, many thanks - I shall try and find them using the ref. number etc and bring my tree more uptodate.

No problem glad to help.
I know the feeling. Your family seems to be on the same wave length as my own - my parents are cousins!!! and there is a strong indication of another link between to the family farther back.
And a small world....... I have just discovered that my Mothers G.G grandfather actually lived yards from where she is now.

Hi Carol
can't help wondering how you found this entry ? I looked on the 1901 when census when it was first released and no joy, then over the years I have tried different searches etc and not found them so I would love to know what you did.
Entering any of the household details didnt get me anywhere on the nationalarchives search but when I put the reference you gave me in ithe entry came straight up and a printed a copy no problem.
How weiord is that.
Thanks again

I use the Ancestry.co.uk (com) website. (A lot). Find it very useful and well worth the money to join as you search 1871, 1881, 1891 & 1901 census plus loads of other lists,there is a link on my site www.williams-site.org/ .you can try for free.
I had a clue as I had heard of Gt Arthur Street with researching my husbands family also from the Smethwick area. So I looked through the census for St George & Gt Arthur  street no joy.
I entered Law as a surname search, there was a long list. Once I had some names it was then easier to pin them down.

Thought I would update you on my Law family in Great Arthur Street. I added all those names from the 1901 census and have managed to make contact with descendents of three of my great grandmothers siblings ! bringing these branches up to present day. Have also added a couple more siblings from parish records and this enabled me to traced the marriages of most of the others.
I am now working on 1920 + and find these branches still living, and being born in Great Arthur street, either No4 or other houses in the same street.
I am so grateful for the breakthrough you gave me.

Hi Karen,

Thanks for the update, glad to have been of some help, I know how frustrating it can be trying to track certain members.
I have the other problem I'm ok with most of mine 1901 onward its when I start geting further back and they seem to disappear

Good luck with your research.

Hi,
welcome to rootschat, you will soon get the hang of it as its a brilliant site with loads of really helpful people who are interested in tracing families and helping others do the same.

What info have you got on your Pallett family and what did you want to know ? I have seen their entry on the 1881 census - I presume you have the transcript ?

happy hunting
