Hi again
Cornelius was my grandmother's brother. Habgood Cottage has a plaque with the date 1888, so not sure how long Cornelius lived there. My grandmother's name was Mary Vena and she married Theodore Clarke and they lived there. I know my dad was born there in 1906. I think she was the youngest of a very big family.
My sister knows the people who live there now and they have mentioned people from Birmingham coming to see the house, so maybe you could too. It isn't a big house but I Think it was built by one of the Habgoods and my gran was a tenant. My dad bought it in the 1940's.
I'd be happy to let you have more info as there is lots to tell.
Dawn
