Hi

Has anyone heard of or come across Poncia's buildings, old cross street birmingham?  If so is 1 Poncia's building residential or institutional building?  Its an address given on a death record.  Thank you

I took a look at the original document as well as the transcription and both documents say she was born middlesex.  However, Eliza Morton on the rest of the census's found all say birmingham.

Hi ciderdrinker.  Thanks for looking.  Appreciated.  A few days ago I got the marriage certificate for James and Jenifer.

James was not born in this country.  His dad is Heber William Dawson.  James was born 14 Jan 1922 and died March 1994.  Heber was an electrical engineer. Shortly after the outbreak of war he proceeded overseas with the Canadian Engineers as lieutenant and due to his knowledge of wireless telegraphy he was attached to the Signal Corps.

Throughout the war he was with the Canadian Expeditionary Force in the Somme and Armentieres regions, and attained the rank of captain. On his return to civilian life, he joined the engineering staff of the Shawinigan Engineering Company, Limited, in May, 1920, and was still connected with that company at the time of his death. During that time he was engaged on electrical design in connection with some of the most important developments, among which were the 41,000-h.p. unit installed at Shawinigan Falls, the Great Falls development of the Manitoba Power Company, the La Gabelle development of the St. Maurice Power Company and the St. Narcisse development of the North Shore Power Company.

There's some info on findmygrave and online about Heber.  He married Patricia Young.

Cas, the death record for Thomas Mayes was correct.  He’s registered as Mays but I got the death certificate and profession was fish dealer and journeyman which fitted with the records to date.  He died at western street, workhouse infirmary.
