that shoud have read astoness,

yes steph im astoness on the birmingham history forum...the member researching the jelf family is astonian..folk are alway getting us mixed up.

there are no rowbothams either at key hill or warstone lane cems...but during 1954/5 the remains of 36 unidentified bodies were removed from st thomas an interred in catacomb 9 at key hill...im afraid we have no way of finding out if clara was one of the 36 steph..i can only suggest that you contact st thomas church if it still exists and find out for certain if she was originally buried there...

thanks Lynn

i expect she might have been unidentified, she died in nov 1927 and her only son went into the army feb 1928. her mom and dad had died in the early part of the century, she was an ony child. she died have cousins 'cus i have made contact with a reli.

does anyone know how i can find out where she was laid to rest in 1927, is there perhaps a general search.

thanks again

Steph

You could try here,

http://www.birmingham.gov.uk/cs/Satellit...apper%2FWrapper

But I understand from that website that burials stopped in1908 so Clara must have been buried elswhere, but you could have a look at the site or get access to the archives for a search.

Steph,
I willtake you up on your offer.
Any chance of finding any more info on Charles Holder of Bishops Cleeve, Gloucestershire - married on 22nd May 1810 to a Martha Hone, if I have those dates right but I think 1810 is correct.
I think he - Charles Holder died 14thJan 1866.
I wonder how many children they had.
Thanks, if you can find anything.
Lynn.

1851charles is a blacksmith. martha. rachel and rhoda working at coth mill
charles jnr - hammerman.

1861

charles 67 now an inn keeper at the squirrells, randwick
martha 71
rachel and rhoda cloth workers.

1871 rachel is now head of house and inn keeper at the new inn formerly the squirrells.
caroline and charles who is now 77 but no martha.

i found on free bmd for the stroud area which is the area for randwick a charles holder dying at 84 in sept 1875. dec 1861 martha holder dying in stroud.

Dec 1874 Rachel Holder married a George Pitt

1881 rachel pitt 53 and george living at Clare Bl, george is a carpenter employing two boys.
