Thanks, Chris. Good points. Ggm Elizabeth SIMMONDS was 84 when she died (1943) in Selly Oak hospital after falling at her home at 63 Milcote Road. There was an inquest so the accidental death was reported by the coroner and not by a family member. Since Elizabeth CALLAGHAN was at the same address I hoped this might be her daughter, Elizabeth. Names I have been researching in connection with this family: JENKINS, WATERS/WALTERS, SIMMONDS/SYMONDS all in the Birmingham area and BLACKWELL in Somerset. ----- Original Message ----- From: <famhist@dsl.pipex.com> To: <eng-warks-birmingham@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 03, 2007 4:07 AM Subject: Re: [B'ham] Charles Edward and Elizabeth CALLAGHAN > On 02 Jan, Dawn Matheson <laverty@kos.net> wrote: > >> Death certificate for my ggm Elizabeth JENKINS WALTERS SIMMONDS gives >> her address as: 63 Milcote Road, Selly Oak.
