I was hoping some kind soul can look through a Birmingham newspaper from July or August 1920 as I'm in Australia.  If anybody can help with this I would be most grateful.
In my wife's family tree is George Purnell, who died aged 100 years, 1 July 1920 whilst living at 38 Wyncliffe Road, Small Heath, Birmingham.  His wife Mary Ann died the previous year aged 97 years and they endured 78 years of marriage.
In the census and on his death certificate George was recorded as a boot-maker.  Other than his age, he has no other claim to fame, being as far as I'm able to ascertain, a working man of humble background.
I'm hoping some kind soul, who may be in Birmingham library can have a look through the micro fiche of the relevant newspapers for the week following his death (1 July 1920) on the off chance that some editor thought a man of 100 years was worth an obituary or death notice.
Many thanks Harry

another option is to mute the bright colours.

The Parish Register of St Peter and St Paul Church, Cromer, 6 May 1816 records the marriage of Thomas Randell and Mary Anne Gray. Thomas, a bachelor, married spinster Mary Anne Gray and the ceremony was witnessed by Sarah and W. Fuller.
Mary Anne Gray is a complete enigma, nothing I have found links her to anybody outside her own husband or children. From the census records, it's reasonable to conclude that she was born, Southrepps 1798. Unfortunately, I can find no Mary Anne Gray or any other permutation of Mary Gray from the period in any online parish register.
According to her death certificate, Mary died 4 February 1864, aged 71 years which suggests she was born in 1793, five years earlier than the census records indicate. There is no reference to her being under twenty-one at marriage.
Southrepps is in the 1800 Census and had nine households named Gray, totalling 30 individuals. They included two called Francis, two Thomas, one William and a Matthew plus Ann Grey a spinster and finally two Widow Gray's, one with a child. Significantly none of Mary Annes children are called either Matthew or Francis.
Has anybody looked into the Southrepps Greys or know anything I don't.  If so I would be glad to here from you.  Thanks

Why would a family of boot makers move from town to town endlessly?
I'm tracking the Purnell family who are boot & shoe makers over several generations.  Joseph Frederick Purnell starts life in Cheltenham, and then has children in Bristol, Warwickshire, Glamorgan, West Bromwich, Staffordshire, Birmingham, Country Durham, Sunderland, Hartshill and back to Sunderland.  His brother Thomas follows the same pattern having children in Dudley, Tipton, Derby, St Helens, Gloucester, Newport, Cradley Heath, Birmingham and Ryhope near Sunderland.
When they appear in the census, the accommodation is always modest.
Having travelled endlessly for throughout the nineteen century they appear to settle in Sunderland.  Can anybody offer an explanation?  Is there a precedent for this as a boot and shoe maker who worked “own account”.
