hi helen in kellys book shows charles king shopkeeper in 1915 but not 1814 & not 1916 ( 88 park rd aston) i will look through the aston manor warwickshire but l know by the court leter l have saying park rd aston its write he dissapeares somewhere look forward to hearing from you regards marquita (thanks)

The Aston Brook through Aston Manor website has a download of surnames for Aston Streets in 1920- surname living at 88 Park Road (Aston) was Brueton

There was apparently a coal yard next door- surname there was Handley.

Can't see any King families in the road.

Marquita have you tried the 1911 census for Park Road- you can search by address:

88 PARK ROAD ASTON MANOR Aston Manor Aston Warwickshire

The residents there may be linked to him?

There is also another Park Road in Hockley:
88 PARK ROAD HOCKLEY Birmingham Birmingham Warwickshire

You could maybe google for uniforms and compare with your phot.
It may lead you to the correct one and check out any info there maybe.

I had a quick look for 11th hussars and there were only just over a hundred of them who fought in that war.

hi mary on his photo l would say maybe 17 /20 has small mastosh showed photo to a friend he thought it was ll hussars ( my dad said he was born in birminham warwickshire as his mother had told him) l remember going as a child with my perents to see a relitive living in sallyoak it was this relitive who gave dad the photo ( and its like looking at my dad) thanks so much for giving me some help regards marquita

Boer war 1899-1902,would he have been about 15 or over to fight in that.Doesn't the photo give any clues to average age.

That will be why we can't find him in 1901

I have seen no reference to a Charles Harvey King just Henry.

But at least the one to Charles and Rose has been ruled out.

Maybe he was born elsewhere.

Do you have any idea which regiment he was in?

hi mary b lm not sure how old he was this is what lm trying to find out lf my nan was born 1888 and she had my dad in 1913 (iligitamate) so l was thinking around the same age l did look up charles & rose went through the familey but when l sent for charles 1883 marrage certificate it was wrong l was told he was buired in aston in the 1930s ( on my dads marrage certificate was charles harvey king deaced father) charles was in the boar war l have a photo of him in uniform given to my dad when he was told of a relative in sallyoak thanks for your help and hope tere is more to come regards marquita

Hello Marquita- did you try posting on the Birmingham History forum? They are very helpful- and it's free! If you haven't, i'd give that a go first.

is there any kind of way you can find out about familey that had shops in 1915 and what happend ( charles h king was a grocer in 1915 but carnt find any trace after that ) would there have been a rent book cistem then ? regards marquita

You could try posting your request on the Birmingham History Forum- they have access to Kelly's directories and Electoral registers. It is a fantastic site:

http://forum.birminghamhistory.co.uk/forum.php
