Hi jim1, the information below was found by tazzie, with regards to a Nellie Rundle, Harry Rundle's sister. I'm assuming this is from the 1891 Census, which means Nellie would've been born around 1870. Her information doesn't mention a Florence Rundle, who would've been the child born between Alfred & Harry:-

It's quite possible Alfred & Harry were definitely estranged from each other, considering the complicated situation Harry found himself in regarding Minnie/Harry Hales! I can't imagine the gossip surrounding the situation, but it would've put a strain on all parties involved
nice one.
He was in the 1st. Batt. KRRC.
It says Grandson of Mrs. A. Carey of Sparkbrook B'ham.
Potentially he had 3 Grandmothers.
Jane Rundle/Rumble (d.1918), Mary Ann Inchley (d.1914) & Harry Hales' mother.
Looked for an Inchley/Carey marriage & found Doris A M Inchley married Charley Carey 1920.
She was Stanley's aunt, sister of Minnie.
She did live in Sparkbrook.
I've also been tracing the Rundle children from his marriage to Alice.
Pretty much as you would expect, married had kids & moved around B'ham a bit.
The 2 daughter Edith & Millie both married a Pittaway possibly brothers.
In 1945 Edith lived at no. 8 Wood Green Rd. I was born there at 33.
It was a very small road that ended in a cul-de-sac.
A bit before I was born but my parents would have known them.
A few very interesting pieces of information in this one! Here goes:-
1. We know that Jane Rundle was Harry Rundle's mother, & Stanley & Joseph's paternal grandmother. Jane was born around 1841 & died in 1918. Her husband was Joseph Rundle born around 1843. I have no details on Joseph Rundle's death at this time so will have to research that one.
2. We know that Mary Ann Inchley was Minnie Eva Inchley's mother, & was Stanley & Joseph's maternal grandmother. My research indicates Mary Ann's maiden name was Booden. She was born around 1860 & died in 1914. Her husband was George Edward Inchley, born around 1854 & died in 1917. They had 14 children, 11 girls & 3 boys, quite a large family!
3. Doris A M Inchley is Doris Alice May Inchley & was, as you said, one of Minnie Eva Inchley's sisters, & therefore, Stanley & Joseph's aunt. My research indicates Doris was born around 1902 & died in 1977. Her husband was Charles Henry Carey, & they married in 1920, as you also mentioned.
4. Could Mrs A Carey have been Charles Carey's mother, & taken on the role of grandmother to Stanley perhaps? Seeing as though Jane & Mary Ann, both the biological grandparents, were already dead, this is quite possible, even though technically she was a great-aunt to Stanley.
5. I can't find any details of who Harry Hales' mother was, so it would be interesting to find this out.
6. I may have Harry & Alice Rundle's youngest child's name wrong. I thought it might be Nellie Louisa Rundle, not Millie.
7. My research indicates there is a death for an Edith Pittaway around the year 2000, in which case she lived until she was 94 years old, but this may not be her.
8. It's amazing that your parents may have known Edith Rundle & her husband. It would be interesting to know if your parents also knew Edith's parents, Harry & Alice Rundle, but that may be a little more difficult to find out now!
Many thanks!
