Relatives lived in these streets of Brum between 1841 and 1851. Does anyone know anything about the folk who may have lived there then? Jan

Jan What kind of things? The streets were full of ordinary folk, they were not wealthy places. Some of my ancestors lived in nearby streets, one was a brass worker, one was a tailor.

Thanks for that. I thought, after reading some of the previous messages, the area may have had railway workers, Irish immigrants or some other minority group living there which may help with their research.

hi, some of my family members lived in Great Barr but a bit later: Ag lab/gardener 1861-1901 w/o Lance Corporal Royal warwicks, died 1940 gardener general servant ag lab cook farm labourer 1891 I also have some who lived in Barr St I don't think their occupations are representative of the cross section of people there as for every servant there must be one who is served!
