Address in Birmingham
« on: Thursday 27 November 25 16:59 GMT (UK) »
I have a postcard sent in 1909 and the sender has added their address - but I can't interpret it. 

Anyone with a knowledge of Birmingham able to work out what it is - attached (I hope).

Thanks

Pam

23 Gopsal Street  :-\

There is a Shepherd family there in 1901 and an Emily Dobbs in 1911

Wow, thank you, I'd never have got that!  Now to check the census to see who lived there in 1911.

Another thank you - it was a member of the Sheppard family - as in the 1901 census - that had sent the postcard.

Another mystery solved thanks to Rootschat!!

I am glad that you have found a link to the residents of Gopsal St as I was beginning to doubt my interpretation of it  :)
