I live not far from Stuart Road, I suspect the shop was converted into a house at some point. It might be worth you posting on a page on Facebook called Exeter Past and
Present or Exeter Memories. East Wonford Hill is not very far from there.

Thank you Barb
I have posted a request on Facebook Exeter Memories already but I'll try Exeter Past and Present as well.

I've found a couple of newspaper items for "Roseland Stores, 1 Stuart Street" but outside your timeframe (1923-1970).
There is an advertisement in the Express and Echo, 12 Dec 1963, wishing all our customers a Merry Xmas - but the wishes are certainly not from "William and Hilda"

Many thanks Hanes
Now we know they had sold the business by then and moved to nearby East Wonsford Hill. I will continue my quest to find a photo of their grocery store !

Added - the URL is delivering a Facebook page, not the view of Stuart Street I was seeing

My ancestors shop was at the end of the street shown in the picture on the left but sadly the shop was out of view. Thanks for the Facebook link though.

Devon / Bird Family of Exeter

I'm trying to locate any photographs of my ancestors who ran a shop in Heavitree, Exeter in the period from 1923 to 1970. Specifically William and Hilda Bird who ran Roselands Grocery Store at 1 Stuart Road, Heavitree, Exeter. They had four children, Douglas, Thelma, Sonia and Geoffrey. They were married in Heavitree, Exeter on 16 October 1920. Hilda died in 1971 and William died in 1973. Does anyone on this forum have any information or photographs of their shop during this period to share with me please ?

Hi Keith,

Sorry but two of the Probate records I posted above may not be connected to ‘your’ OSBORN line.
Alfred of 17 Wyecliff Road, Handsworth and his widow Fanny May of 4 Park Avenue, Handsworth.

Although I had their Probates on file, I missed seeing my own note that reads;
This Alfred OSBORNE is NOT the son of Joseph b.1843. However, he may prove to be connected to that family somewhere.

That’s what happens doing things fast, late at night. Hopefully it removes the problem you mentioned with Helen’s Probate.

Gwynne

Thanks Gwynne
Keith

Hi Keith,

The OSBORNE family tree mentioned was compiled by me in 2016, before many records such as the 1921 census and 1939 Register were released.

Having now nearly finished other tree’s I’m presently working on (each taking 40 sheets to print) I must update that OSBORNE tree before sharing it. With other commitments, that may be a couple of weeks. At least ancestors aren’t going anywhere in a rush.

Being an Excel file, it can’t be uploaded here. We will need to exchange email addresses. You will find mine if your Google search for my RAF Bridgnorth web site or this link

Thanks Gwynne, you have been more than helpful on this journey of discovery.
I will contact you as suggested.

more Probate

Gwynne
Many thanks for these items. Very interesting facts.
I'm still trying to reconcile the facts we now have about Albert Avery Osborne since these show him passing away in 1919 but on his mothers death in 1928 her probate shows her leaving a son and two daughters behind in 1928 ?
Thanks for the hint about Joseph Osborne in the bowling club picture. It's hard to work out with the beards since our picture of him outside his shop is not sharp enough to see (153KB) but I think he is in the front row, 8th person in from LHS of the bowling club photo..
I think you said at the beginning of our conversation that you had a small family tree of 33 descendants of William and Elizabeth Osborne. Is that something you could still send to me please ?
Keith

Photograph

Many thanks Gwynne for these and your earlier replies.
Any further information would be gladly received.
Thanks for the offer to show us the grave locations but we live in the south of England so that would have to be a special trip ! If we do visit Bridgnorth again I'll contact you.

Do you where Joseph Osborne is in the photograph you sent of the Bowling Club photo taken by Clara Osborne ?
