Warwickshire Lookup Requests / Re: Kelly/Baynham
« on: Saturday 08 September 12 10:23 BST (UK)  »
I think we have been round this before I let you into my Ancestry site.
JJ was born on 21 March 1844
 JJ married Annie Mysescough in 1865.
1866 listed as Coal Merchant/Railway Agent, from then on he was working on the railways (from his Records on the Railway) 1871 he was Station Master at Mold where my Gt Grdma (Mary Jospehine) was born he transferred to Curzon St Aston Birmingham in 1875, 1881 and 1891 he was listed as Railway Clerk and Coal Merchant 1901 and 1911 worked in a furniture removal company.
The male members of the family plus one female all followed in his footsteps and worked on the Railways
In 1841 he was in Moose Lane ??? Chorley 1851 Allen St Chorley siblings were Margaret, William x 2 (one died after a few days), Edward, Leonard, Miles Mary Richard and Sara Elizabeth.

Hi Ollie

Yes that is my JJ Hodson - his father was William and his mother was Elizabeth Neville - his brother was Robert - does this help.
 I dont have their marriage cert but from other B/M/D certs that I have I have worked it out. Too expensive to get the cert from UK to NZ

Laois (Queens) / Re: Where did Michael Kelly come from?

Have looked at the m/c more closely looks like "guard" then in brackets "Irish Constabulary" I have both their numbers when they were in the Constabulary.  My error writing hard to read and I took it as Guardia - oops.

Hi

It is possible, but unlikely as my "Michaels" father (also Michael) on his M/C is listed as "Guardia" I think that is how it is spelt in other words one of the Irish Police Force, and Michael jnr followed in that line of work in Ireland and the UK although he did marry in UK, he married Emma Baynham.

Good luck I have about six people in Ireland all trying to find either of my Michaels..................

Hi Amazin

Thank you so much would love to see what you have.

Can you send it to me at (*) I would have PM'd you but as you are a new member you dont have that function yet. 

How did you know Clem and Ess? I loved going to Clems office as a child and seeing the workings of the newspaper Grandpa used to take the sports results to his office and I was always "tagging" along. I have a lovely photo of Clem from the BPM unfortunately when my parents came to NZ a great deal of the family photos were left in UK with other family members. Auntie Ess was my favourite because even in the ration time she always had sweets.

Thanks again for your reply

I am looking for the obituary of my Gt Uncle Clem he was an editor of the Birmingham Post and  Mail or the Argus, and died in 1963 in the Birmingham Mail Offices. My enquiries there have met with a stonewall have been trying for months NOTHING, ZILCH. There must be something somewhere, being in New Zealand its a bit difficult to get to the archives of the BP&M to check things out. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Warwickshire / Re: evacuation
« on: Saturday 05 December 09 11:08 GMT (UK)  »
I was "evacuated" to North Wales from Birmingham.  It was not a forced one just that I was sent to my grandparents as we were close to Castle Bromich aerodrome which was constanly under threat and our house was fire bombed, not serious damage but family thought it best to move me. Had a great time unlike others who were forced from London etc and were treated very badly by their billetted families.  Our whole family (26 of us) had plans to move to USA if things got really bad as we had relatives over there, however things never came to that thank heavens.

Warwickshire / Re: Recognise this church anyone please ?
« on: Saturday 05 December 09 11:02 GMT (UK)  »
I can rule out another one its not Erdington Abbey (St Thomas and St Edmunds) but it could be St Michaels (?) in Boldmere not far from Sutton Coldfield. Being of the older generation I happen to know there were not many photographers around just after the War and they did travel, they had special petrol allowances as petrol was rationed. My Mum and Dad were married at the Abbey it 1930's and their photographer came from Solihull.  Also I dont think its St Chads in Birmingham but it is a long time since I was in UK the fact that there is no priest in the picture was was quite usual if they were RC seems to rule that out. Not much help
