Hi all have had some success finding my uncles details. I have received a document regarding his stay in the cottage homes in Erdington birmingham. He states he was admitted from Smethwick which is in the West Midlands. We wondered if anybody knew how I can find out where in Smethwick he was admitted from the date he was admitted is April 1939 so he was 6 years old so I am curious Wher he was before this. Have found his mother in Pershore with my grandad on the 1939 register from find my past can anyone help???
