Does anyone have the facility to take and transmit a photo of the sign on these buildings? I have tried Birmingham library who 'probably have one among their thousands of photos' if I looked -but that is out of reach, I have emailed a contact they gave at CB but had no reply. My father made the tiles forming the names and I am trying to find out more about it, I would like at least to be able to date them, I would think late 1920's. I know they exist from the Great Train Journeys programme that called there but am absolutely stuck, help!

Hi
i took this over 15 years ago, so it is not of the best quality.
Maybe someone visiting there could take a better one for you

Not exactly!! The rest of the photo shows the kids playing with a "car" shaped like a creme egg. That was part of the roof!
I expect it could be removed if anyone has a clone brush :)

Roots folk and Valda ride to the rescue again. Now have photos of the names on the buildings to add to my father's pages, great! Still don't know when they were done but my guess can't be far out. Thanks to all.

I was looking into the children of my 3 x Gt Grandfather and found his daughter was a servant for George Cadbury. According to Wikipedia George Cadbury was THE man to work for in the 1800's as he believed in fair work conditions for his employers and had it not been for the Cadbury family? Working conditions probably would never of improved had the Cadbury family not set the benchmark.
Little off topic but thought it might interest some of you... ;D
Here is the link to the census, she is Ellen Brant age 19.(*)

That was interesting, we did the working conditions in Economic History in college and the Quaker families figured largely in improving these conditions and the living conditions of their employees too. As you say a bit off line but part of the lives of our ancestors

Hi, This is my first message on this site I joined it trying to contact yourself painterlady because I saw the topic James Haseltine said born 1803 Ockley. I am doing a family history for my father in-law (John Charles Hazeltine) and James was his Great Grandfather. I was wandering if you got anymore info on him.
I just hope I have sent this message to the right person if not I so sorry ???

Hi jojayh
You need to make three postings before you can use the personal messaging system on Rootschat. It seems Painterlady comes on to Rootschat regularly so should see your post soon. If not post again and a personal message can be sent to her on your behalf if you would like.
