There is a girl Alice born Birmingham, Mar 1896 6d 114 which should give you the mother's details on the birth certificate. As there are some Harry Lees recorded between 1896 and 1901 have you looked on Find my Past to see if they emigrated?

Hi everyone, I am wondering if there is anyone who can help me with my questions about Weoley Castle? My grandparents lived in Weoley Castle during WW2 backing onto the cemetery. I am trying to get a clear picture of their life during the war. I have been told that the Cemetery in Weoley Castle (is it called Lodge Hill?) received a bomb hit. Can anyone confirm or deny this statement or does anyone know how I can find out? If it is correct, what level of damage was rendered? Also, does anyone know what the Austin Works was producing at that time? I am guessing it would be tanks? Was there any industry around Weoley Castle area or would most bombers be passing over on their way to somewhere else? I know there was a "Big Bertha" and anti aircraft balloons. Would children in this area have been evacuated or was it a "safe area"? Is there any way I can find this out? If anyone can tell me anything about this area during the war years or at any other time I will be most grateful. Thanking you in advance, Chris

Hi Chris someone else on this mailing list sent this info out recently about bombing in Birmingham which is excellent. http://www.swanshurst.org/barra/ Dave On 22 Jun 2008, at 12:30, Graham Cole wrote: Hi everyone, I am wondering if there is anyone who can help me with my questions about Weoley Castle?

I have seen a map, at the reference library, I believe, that details where every bomb fell.
