Hi
You can try Facebook - as lots of people share memories and photos.

I found two pics within about 2 seconds of searching:

You'll need to search through the photo's or just read the postings... there's a picture of 'Clifton Road Junior School Balsall Heath Birmingham' and another pic titled 'Dennis Road Board School, Balsall Heath - 1896 by Martin & Chamberlain Now Anderton Park School Dennis Road Balsall Heath Birmingham Grade 2 Listed Building '

Hi both

Thanks for the info.

The person I am looking for was born after 1917 (although since deceased) so the 100 year rule probably applies.

As for the actual hospital they were in - I don't know how big an 'institution' it was and hence whether it was an 'enumeration district' in it's own right.

So, this might well prove to be less easy to track down...unless I can get down to the National Archives and do a search directly on their records.

PS: Have edited original subject heading ;-)

Hi all

Just to follow up on this thread - I've been in contact (and met up) with the OP over the last couple of years as I was one of the people she was looking for.... !!

If I'd stayed a regular member since I first joined here (over 10 yrs ago), I'd have seen this sooner...but I've only just remembered I had an account on here !!

Just goes to show that this sort of forum DOES work !!

regards to everyone still searching !

Hi all,

I can't believe it....I've actually found someone else related to the Nightingale Baronetcy....and this after trawling the net for about 8 years....!

If I get 10 minutes, I'll post my line.....

I really must update my family tree I was working on (until about 3 years ago, when my business took over my priorities !).

regards

Tim O'Malley
Grandmother: Lilian Bertha PRESSLAND, dau. of Louisa Maitland ADDISON and her 2nd husband, Herbert Caleb PRESSLAND.

L.M ADDISON was the 1st wife of Edward Henry NIGHTINGALE, by whom she had a son Edward Manners NIGHTINGALE (who subsequently inherited the Baronetcy making him the 14th Baron and to whom "my" grand-mother was his younger half-sister). This means I'm not in the direct bloodline of the NIGHTINGALES, but it's an interest all the same...

E.H. Nightingale (who died young, age 39, in 1895, after 8 yrs of marriage) was the son of Henry Dickonson NIGHTINGALE, who was the son of Charles NIGHTINGALE, who was son of Charles Ethelston NIGHTINGALE, which is where I link to the OP.

BTW: Most of the info I have on the NIGHTINGALE's, I got from their entry in Who's Who....but there are some distinct differences between some of the info posted on this thread and the Who's Who entries...I'll have to refer back to it and see if the commanality of first names used by the family might have caused errors to crop up.

Edit: There's a useful NIGHTINGALE family tree here:

and the lineage of the Baronetcy is here (some way down the page!!):

and there's a nice "report" about Newport Pond, Essex from whence the Nightingale family started (see the very end of the page !):
