There doesn't look to be a St Cuthbert's in Tipton

I am thinking it has to be the one in Birmingham.. we know the family had later connections to Birmingham and West Bromwich, but no idea of where the family lived after 1911 census.

I have found some brief info that the St Cuthbert, Winson Green, Birmingham was bombed WW2 and demolished 1960, so maybe this is the place. I have asked on Warwick board if anyone has info for this place and the bombing too.

There is a 1943 death in Birmingham William Clarke born abt 1857

[heywood]

Was his wife Eliza A who died in 1932, Dudley district?

Hi heywood
Yes, more than likely that is his wife's death. She was Eliza Ann Price born 1862 Tipton.

Still no info on what year St Cuthbert's was bombed WW2 on Birmingham thread, hopefully someone will know, but there is very little detail about this church on the web or this bombing, only found one paragraph that mentions this.

Do you think the registrar's would give any basic information from these death certs if I were to telephone and talk to them

I would say no.

Birmingham Libraries holds Church records but the burials for St Cuthberts are not there. 

You need to download the pdf document to see what records are held.

I don't think St Cuthbert's had a churchyard

I will look at that link later on, thanks..
