would like to find out about the house they lived in

Can you be more specific as to exactly what type of info you are looking for?

What is your connection to the family/house?

[CaroleW]

Have you contacted Warwickshire RO to see if any photo is held of the house?

There are also several public trees on Ancestry which include Joseph & his family.  Perhaps you may be better contacting one of the family members to see if they can help with this info

You only partially transcribed the 1911 census? You didn't mention the occupations of Joseph and Arthur - which explains their apparent wealth!

I'm not allowed to mention what they are (copyright issues), but it's OK for you to do so.

Anyhow, 1901 census: Class:  RG13; Piece:  2891; Folio:  7; Page:  6.
The Oakland, Wylde Green, Sutton Coldfield

Ansell, Joseph  Head  M  60  Solicitor and JP  b Birmingham
Ansell, Mary Ann  Wife  F  59  b Birmingham (curiously it also says she is a Widow?!)
Ansell, Kate E  Daughter  F  25  b Aston
Edwards, Emma  Lady's Help  F  57  Lady's Help  b Birmingham
Burman, Arthur F  Visitor  M  Single  25  Metal Spinner  b Handsworth, Staffordshire
+ Cook, Housemaid and Coachman

Joseph Ansell was also Town Clerk to Aston Manor

Scroll down to be the bit on Wylde Green
It confirms Oaklands was demolished in the 1950's

[KGarrad]

So, is this the Joseph Ansell who founded Ansell's Brewery?
Or just a relation to the other Joseph?

Aston Manor is, of course, what is now Villa Park.
Maybe a link to Aston Villa FC also?

Sadly it seems son in law Arthur Field Burman did not live long

Probate index entry

Arthur Field Burman of The Oaklands Wylde Green Warwickshire, manufacturer died 6 May 1917 Probate 16 Aug to Kate Evelyn Burman widow and Alfred Inman Sherwin solicitor
