Hi Listers I have not been able to find my great grand parents in 1891, or 1901 census ? (or censi ) The name Newnes is often missed spelt or pronounced, but from the 1911 census (which was filled out wrong ) I have some information on their children Alfred born 1885 Wheeler St. Joseph born 1887 " " Walter born 1900 " " Lily born 1902 Lister St. and Ernest born 1905 Victoria St. their parents were Thomas and Alice Newnes in 1911 they were living at 65 Aston St. What I am looking for is in 1891 and 1901 I am looking for Wheeler St, so I can go door to door and find them ? and or 1901 maybe Lister St. too Thank you in advance this would break my brick wall that I have had for a while Alec Newnes

Hi, I can find four Wheeler Streets in B'ham, from an early A-Z. Do you know what district you want?

Alec Birmingham Library has some good large scale detailed maps of Birmingham circa 1902, but you have to visit them to photocopy the sheets. They clearly show individual property boundaries. Alternatively you can buy slightly smaller scale maps but still very good ones of the same period from Alan Godfrey at http:// www.alangodfreymaps.co.uk/acatalog/Warwickshire__Birmingham_area_.html Dave Carr Devon Hi Listers I have not been able to find my great grand parents in 1891, or 1901 census ?

Hi Alec I found a Wheeler Street using google maps which I find invaluable for my family address searches. What works for me - may not for others, is that I flip forward and back the census entry and get the streets/roads before and after the road my rels live on. Then when I use google maps I'm more sure of having the right road when there may be several roads of the same name. And what I really like about google maps is that sometimes they have that cam-thingy where you can see up and down the road in close detail (I know a lot of people hate this system re security issues - quite right too, but its very good for zooming in on the exact house you want) Hope that helps Lesley ________________________________ From: Alec Newnes <brummiepip@msn.com> To: ENG-BLACK-COUNTRY <ENG-BLACK-COUNTRY@rootsweb.com>; STAFFORDSHIRE <STAFFORDSHIRE@rootsweb.com>; ENG-WARKS-BIRMINGHAM <ENG-WARKS-BIRMINGHAM@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, 3 October, 2009 3:17:22 AM Subject: [B'ham] Looking for Wheeler St. in 1891 Census Hi Listers I have not been able to find my great grand parents in 1891, or 1901 census ?

There are still a lot of buildings in that area that were standing in 1891/1901. If you tell me which number Wheeler Street you are looking for, I can go take a look as I work not far from there but it won't be for a week or two as I'm working away next week. Please let me know the details.
