Brass Foundries in Birmingham Area

[Twigsnleaves]

Thanks Roger -

All I can 'prove' about the addresses are the business cards that were sent to me - one for Sheffield, the other for Birmingham.

Possibly you mixed ' the two up?  Those two addresses you quoted are nowhere in Sheffield but they could be in Birmingham I guess. Benton Brothers Brassfounders were ALWAYS at the same address, Rodley Lane in Sheffield, and never moved from there at all!   Roger Benton

Helo Martinwootton. I really hope you are related to Edward Wootton, born 1845 Northfield , Worcestershire, because he was a great-great uncle of mine and I havelots of info on the family to share. But I am short on Edward's descendents. PLEASE get in touch!Regards, theli

Hi Every one,

I have been looking at may ancestors and found one of the women worked as a hinge planer. Which folk have said is some one who smooths off the metal after it comes form the casting. Is this what the job was?

Thanks for your help.

All the best
