Bismark Road, Wolverhampton - 1914

[cordley]

In 1914 a relative is staying at 29 Bismark Road, Wolverhampton, she normally lived in Birmingham.

I have discovered that the road was renamed, because of the German connotation, to Carter Road. around that time.

So I am trying to se if she was staying with relatives.

I have been trying to look the address up (FindMyPast) on Electoral Roll for that time - without success - to see the recorded occupants.  The 1921 census, John Taylor's family. hasn't rung any bells.

Any help?

Thanks,  Pam

Hi.

  Walking through the 1911 gives Jesse Sneyd and wife Eliza at number 29. With them is Eliza's daughter Eva Stanford.
 Jesse Snead married Eliza Ann Stanford in 1907.
Eva's gro index gives mothers maiden name as McDermott.

Thanks for that, at the moment the names don't connect.

Wondering about the Electoral Rolls for 1914 ish?

I've tried on Ancestry but no results. May be due to the start of the war.

What document did you get the 1914 address from?

[cordley]

On a postcard dated 1914 addressed to my husband's grandmother. Wasn't her normal address.

Going through a family collection of postcards from the 1900s.
