[wifee40]

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me with my familly tree. My fathers name was william sidney hoskins, and his twin is Peter hoskins. They were born on 27th april, 1938. Their parents were called Arthur James Hoskins and Lilliam May Hoskins, (nee Jones). The address on William and Peter's date of birth was 217maryvale Road, bournville, Birmingham,  It also says Selley oak by the parents address! I have found out that my father died in bristol in 1989, but i am having trouble finding out any information about his twin peter, wether he has passed away or married etc.  also I would like to know if they have any other siblings.  Before Arthur and Lillian lived in Selley oak they lived in trelleck, Monmouth. Any help or advice would be gratefully recieved. thank you Jacqui

Mary Vale Road is in Bournville, but one end actually meets Selly Oak Road.

If you enter the names on www.streetmap.co.uk you will find them.

Bournville is, of course, the home of Cadburys. Lots of local people were employed at the factory, but I don't know if their records exist or are accessible.
