Researching James Horniblow who married Lucy Walters at St Thomas' Dudley Worcester and in the 1851 Census was said to be living at Hagely. He emmigrated to NZ in 1861 with Lucy and 6 children. Elisabeth aged 19 when she arrived in Lyttleton New Zealand is my maternal ancestor (my great~ great~ great grand mother). Suspect there were other children who may have married and stayed behind in the UK.

Hi~ I'm trying to trace any persons that RENTED a house on Ladysmith Road~ Cradley Heath between 1938 and 1952. I know the house was owned by a certain family but they lived elsewhere. It is a family who rented pre/post war. They had a boy aged approx 5 yrs~ who unfortunatly died and a daughter~ approx 2-3 yrs~ who is still living~ to my knowledge. The father was a carpenter of sort and owned a motor car (both parents deceased). Any help in finding a name to go with these details would be very greatfully received. Thank you.** **Mandy Maguire**

I'm looking for any information on a house called 'The Pines' in Station Road~ Brierley Hill. It was there in 1914. In particular~ the name of the family who lived there. They were obviously wealthy as I know they employed a chauffeur.

Does anyone know where a (then) young lady last seen in 1968 by the name of Margaret Rutter is today? She was blonde / fair~ medium height. She had been my girlfriend. I expect she is around 50 years of age now possibly slightly more and probably married. I believe she lived in Gauden Road~ possibly had a number 9 in the address. Her father worked for the Midlands Electricity Board I think and in their stores dept?****I would love to say hello again if anyone out there can help. They or she can contact me via my email address. ****I would like to point out that I am married and there is no sinister or hidden agenda in my request and this is a genuine appeal out of curiosity and past friendship.
