Hi. I am trying to find some information about my Nan's family. Her name was CISSIE HARRIS (b1911) she married William White (b1909) and they had 2 children- Doris (my mom) and William. They lived at 24 Dunsink Road Witton, Birmingham. Cissie was sister to: Edith, Charles (Charlie), Irene, Millie (could be Mildred or Millicent), James (Jim) Richard (Dick) and Iris. The family were brought up in what is now the Newtown area of Birmingham approx 1890 - 1930. They lived fairly near to the old Aston Theatre which was apparently over the road from the Bartons Arms Pub. I am particularly interested in finding anyone who can give me information on my great grandparents names. The only information I have is my g grandmothers name was MARY HARRIS (b1885ish) and some sketchy info re: my Nan's brothers & sisters. Information I have is: Edith was the oldest sister & she married Jack (no dates/surname) Irene had 3 children (maybe 1 more) named: Shirley, Larry & Jimmy Millie married Arthur (no dates/surname) Jim was the oldest brother Charlie married Edna (no names/surname) Dick met his partner Mary late in life (poss in his 50's) Edith & Jack ran the 'Red Cow' Pub in town. The pub was close to a theatre (possibly the Hippodrome) and they displayed lots of photos of stars that appeared at the theatre. This is all the information I have to go on. I have sent loads of e.mails to possible relations but only 1 person has replied (and they are no relation) If anyone has access to census/records would they please look for me? Please Help me!!!!! Thanks |
