Hello List, This is my first posting and I have my fingers crossed! My Great grandmother's family were called Powell, they lived in the Soho Road, Lozells area of Birmingham and were married/christened at St. Silas Church. The family consisted of: Robert Powell born 1840 father Julia Ann Avery (Powell) born 1851 mother Georgina Powell born 1872 daughter Ernest Powell born 1874 son Raymond Powell born 1876 son Eleanor Powell born 1880 daughter Herbert Powell born 1883 son Robert H. Powell born 1889 son The family moved from Soho Road to Carpenters Road and various other addresses, but stayed in the same area. If anyone has any information on this family or St. Silas Church records I would be extremely grateful. Also I am fairly new to Birmingham research online and would welcome a few pointers, Thanks for your patience, Judith Byrne, Clitheroe, Lancs.

Hello Judith My paternal family were from Lozells and were married at St Silas. I have seen the original marriage registers at Birmingham Central Library in the archives I have some recent photo's of St Silas if you would like them.

Hi Judith Soho Road is not Lozells, it is Handsworth, but was Staffordshire until 1911/1912.

Hi Pauline, Sorry I meant Soho Road and Lozells Road rather than Lozells area.
