Thomas Bateman
« on: Tuesday 02 June 20 16:44 BST (UK) »
Hello,
Can anyone help me locate a an address. I have a record on my gggfather being born in Broad Park, Dudley in 1866. I am trying to locate where Broad park is in modern dudley. Anyone have any ideas if the area had changed names. The only reference I have found is a small mine called Broad Park near Holly Hall. Any ideas?

On the 1881 census Catherine Bateman and 5 of her children all claim to have been born in Broad Park, Worcestershire - have you got the relevant birth certificates?

Broad Park Pit appears to be near Whimsey Pool (according to a newspaper report), but not yet found either.
