 in 1924 the Miners' Phthisis Board of Johannesburg was attempting to get in touch with Mrs Selina Garland, mother of the late Albert Garland, who they believed in 1916 was living in South Yardley Birmingham, and was 56.

Given that Albert Garland has Silicosis (aka Miners' Phthisis ) listed on his death record, this sounds like the right man. The date of 1916 might refer to when he signed up for WWI, giving his mother as next of kin.

 -in 1881, Albert E Garland born Bedminster, Somerset, is living with parents Edwin and Selina

 - by 1891 there are two younger siblings, Edith Mary Garland and William Ewart Gladstone Garland.

Edith Mary Garland married Frank Broomhall in Aston in 1905. One of their children was Betty Kate Broomhall and a relative has some information about that side of the family here:
