Crozier family living at The Grange, 53 Wake Green Road, Moseley in 1925

It certainly looks that way

Interesting family, aren't they. In Manchester, David Crozier was clerk at chemical works.  Blackley (not Beackley) had a number of dye works and eventually became a big centre for the ICI chemical company.  Not sure what would bring them to Birmingham, however !

Maybe this was Wilhelmina's good works whilst hubbie David went out to the office ?

If the Crozier family were at 53 Wake Green Road in the 1927 Electoral Roll, but I have them placed there in October 1925, are there any records or directories that might cover the 1924/5/6 period ?

Thank you all - nice having a bit of help on this one.

Just found likely Crozier marriage - Q4 1893 in Belfast - index only but the names of David Crozier and Wilhelmina Mann M'Iver appear on the page listing.

This baptism confirms you have the right marriage
Vida Jeannie Crozier
Birth 1 June 1904
Baptism 22 June 1904
Cheetham, St Luke
Father David Crozier
Mother Wilhelmina Mann Crozier

That answered one question in my mind as I was wondering whether they were C of E or RC.
Maybe the C of E church had something to do with the young Mums being looked after.

It looks as though the 1927 electoral register is the only one for this area online

The following extract about (Sir) Barry Jackson who founded the Birmingham Rep, appears to mention a property in Moseley called The Grange !

Along with his friends they christened the company, The Pilgrim Players. This was to be the amateur foundations for the future Birmingham Repertory Theatre Company. Jackson alongside his friends, John Drinkwater, H S Milligan and C.R Dawes had been performing their own productions at the Jackson's family home of the Grange in Moseley, from around 1902 to family and friends.

I am getting more confused now ...

In 1925, the electoral roll lists Barry Jackson at 177 Victoria Courts, Birmingham, but then in brackets after has [abode - 53 Wake Green Road] - his family home !

Can anyone tell me what 'SJ' means after someone's name in the Electoral Roll.

SJ is after Wilhemina Crozier's name in the 1927 register and she appears first, even though David Crozier is also at the same address.

Thank you

I think he may qualify for an extra vote in the district of Wake Green Road as he probably owns the house as well as where he is resident. Things were different then 

So 1925 is online, I could not see it  - I see Barry Jackson is the only one registered at that address.   The electoral register for 1925 would have been canvassed before your MIL was born.
