Warwickshire / Sarah Shrimpton's tragic death, Winson Green c1905.
« on: Thursday 11 January 18 23:24 GMT (UK)  »
I would like more information about my relative Sarah Shrimpton and family, Sarah ended her own life in Winson Green canal about 1905? She and her husband John Shrimpton lived above their Shoe Repair Shop, corner of Foundry Road and James Turner Street.
By motor car with my parents went there late 40's I think just to have a look. 'Googled' now to find the building is still there and the facia unaltered, quite pleased. John Shrimpton remarried, perhaps to a Mrs Thomas or Thompson, who had two children?
I think Sarah's death was also recorded in a local newspaper.
Any help much appreciated.

Warwickshire Lookup Requests / Where was my gran Mary Dearn living in Rood End, Warley Wigorn?
« on: Sunday 24 December 17 19:32 GMT (UK)  »
Hello everyone, I'm hoping to know if my grandmother Mary Dearn was still living at, or near Rood End Road (where she had moved to, and possibly died there) while I was a teenager early 1950s.
My dad (1906-2000) mentioned these brief details which I scribbled down much too quickly, also wish I'd been more attentive now of course.
And it could be said that this request is from a too elderly person with maybe a not very reliable memory.   :-\  --   
Mary's parents, my G.grandparents William and Helen? had children including, Mary, Margaret and Helen. Mary may have been born or had a close relative, at Hill Top Farm Warley Wigorn.
Any help much appreciated. Wish you all a very Merry Christmas.
