Staffordshire / Re: teddesley street Walsall

Hi Sue, I just came across this because I was looking up Teddesley Street so haven't really been researching family tree. However, I know that Rhoda's mother was married 3 times, one of the other husbands was called Round and I could find the other name as I got something from the censuses a few years back. Rhoda had several sisters, Polly, Clara, Lizzie and one called Hetty who died young. Lizzie was married to Frederick Rose and they had one son Arthur. The family came from Norton Canes and Brownhills.
I know less about the Hicklins - could be that was the link to your mother. My grandfather died when my mother was only 18 months old, but there were at least 2 other Hicklin brothers and 2 sisters called Floss and Gertie. I think the name Hicklin is quite common in Walsall.
Rhoda and Frank had four children - Frank, born 1908, Doris 1912, George born 1916 and my mother Edith born in 1920. They all had children.
Be good to hear of any connection via your mother. It's a lovely photo of the wedding - I can only just about recognise my grandmother as she was in her 70s when I was born and there are no photos of her in her young days, but Frank is very recognisable in my 2 uncles.
All the best, Gaynor
