Location of Wigginshill

[Rosa Xanthina]

I've just obtained the birth certificate of my grandmother whose place of birth is given as Wigginshill, Sutton Coldfield.    On census returns her place of birth is given as Middleton, Warwickshire.   Please can anyone tell me if these two places are close.
Thanks
