Greetings from New Zealand!
I am seeking ANY info which might add to my search for the above or any offspring etc.

I am unable to find any children .
In 1935 and 1939 they lived at 11 Hobmoor Croft Rd Yardley.

Eva was the niece of my gt grandpa who emigrated to New Zealand in 1878 so I would love to know
Date & Place of death particularly or any further Electoral Roll info probably post WW2 - 1945 onwards?

It's very tricky in this part of the world as there have been so many boundary changes. Yardley was in Birmingham at this point (still is). This might be a possibility:

Name: Eva M Baker
Death Registration Month/Year: 1969
Age at death (estimated): 74
Registration district: Birmingham
Inferred County: Warwickshire
Volume: 9c
Page: 94

I can't see any Baker/Byrne births either (1922-1942) apart from one in Wales 1933!!

Kia Ora Jan
THANK YOU! I'm fairly certain that will be my Eva's death in1969 & having the reg numbers is a great help as I have NO idea what happened to these folk.

Your local knowledge might also be invaluable as 11 Hobmoor Croft is the only address I have for the couple. SO if you could do a lookup for me I'd be very grateful!

Apologies for late reply had to have teeth extracted - much pain!
