Thought you'd like to share these photos i've posted.
Memorial for Joseph William Hall , drowned at 20 years.
From 1901 and 1911 censuses
William H Hall c1870
Louisa Hall c 1870
Louie (Louie Marion)Hall 1894

I couldn't find parents' marriage

Christ Church West Bromwich was burnt down in 1979 would the records have been destroyed then?
Help always appreciated but was hoping to find descendents of these people too
Thank you

Thanks very much Ginny.
I'm enjoying this puzzle, it's good to have a group of photos like this.
I'm trying not to burn the dinner as I write.!

Yes wonderful , I got those too , you've answered quicker than I can respond.
These are connected to the three little girls photos I posted , beautiful photos but very sad story too.
Really grateful for the confirmation that I'd found them in earlier censuses

Had a look at the little girls....they are beautiful. Looks like they were all taken at seperate times as the back drops are different

Yes, if they are of the Kneale girls, the girls are quite far apart in age.
I think they may all be on the family photo.
I think the boy is Joseph, his sister is Louie Marion the blonde one I guess.
their ages seem to tally
Not sure if the adults are sibling couples or if father is the balding man.
I don't have the originals myself.

Thanks Jonesey
I didn't know there was one there.
That's great, quite a few of mine are from that neck of the woods, so good to know.
I've found the Birmingham history forum members v helpful too and very interesting to browse through.It was recommended to me on here, and hope others enjoy it too.
