Hi Cassy I've only just caught up on this thread, because I've been away on holiday. The school was indeed Tabernacle School, but it was in Talbot Street. The pub nearby was the Old Talbot. I remember the area before it was redeveloped as the Savacentre as, as a child, I used to go shopping in Oldbury with my Great Aunt, who would always point out the various streets to me as part of teaching me about my family (my great great grandfather/mother had lived in both Talbot and Tabernacle Street in the 1870 and 1880s). As I understand it, the school took pupils from 5-14. You should find more interesting stuff in the book Old Time Oldbury, which was published quite a few years ago now (I have an original copy), but through the joys of the internet is now available online. Try this link http://historyofoldbury.co.uk/Oldtime%20Oldbury.pdf In the late 1920s my mom lived at 4 Stone Street with my great gransfather/mother and a few of her aunts. I'm afraid I don't have any photos of Stone Street at that time, but if you find any, then I'd love to see them (as would my mom!).

Looking for some guidance on a birth location. If someone's birthplace was given as Colwich on one census and then later as "Heywood" (Great Haywood?), would that possibly be the same person, or am I looking at two people with the same name? Seeing Double, Lois

Hi I'm trying to find photographs of two Tipton pubs and hope someone out there has a snap-shot or two in their archives. First is the "Union Inn" in Union Street Tipton. This still exists (sadly not as a pub) but has been disfigured. I guess the building is 1920's. i have a cousin who married into the Gamble family who ran it for years but they have no photos either. Second is round the corner in Canal Street, "The Barrel". This is an older pub but the area was redeveloped in the late 1960's when much of Tipton was vandalised by the mindless planners of Sandwell. The Barrel was run by the Walker family and sat between the Vicarage and Canal Street Methodist New Connection Chapel (which was also bulldozed). I've made contact with Tony Hitchmouth who published a collection of pubs on CD but although he's got one photo of the Union I just can't trace any of the Barrel so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hope I am doing this reply correctly-apologies if I am not. Savercentre Oldbury was built on the old Tabernacle Street site and I am almost sure the School had the same name, because my Father went there as he was born in Tabernacle Street.

I thought I would pass on this information just in case you didn't know about it. If you have already paid for 30 credits on the Findmypast web site to view the the household schedule image, you can go back to the images where they are saved in 'My records' and view 7 more images which belong to that particular household.

Just thought I'd let everyone know that Ancestry have just put the 1916 - 2005 marriage index on line. They might be testing it at the moment, because it wouldn't let me find the spouse. You can still go into the old search though, armed with the name, the year and the quarter and then find the spouse.
