But only the marriage comes up . Could he have been Albert ??

What was the child's name born in 1914 as not seeing any birth

1927

324 Bordesley Green Road

Bert Attwell
Mary Attwell
John Kingston
----------------------------

Mary & Bert at same address in 1920

1922- 1925 there is a Charles Bowen with them at the same address

1930- 1939 Mary is still living at same address, but no Bert

This is the same address on the 1939 register:

Lyons Household (5 People) 324 Bordesley Green Road , Birmingham C.B., Warwickshire, England

Reginald H Lyons 22 Jul 1907 Male Steel Cutter Married
Louisa M Wall (Lyons) 29 Jul 1914 Female Unpaid Domestic Duties Married
Mary Attwell 23 Jun 1871 Female Office Cleaner Married
Edward Gerrard 02 Feb 1877 Male Railway Porter Single
Margaret R Draper (Lyons) 05 Apr 1936 Female Under School Age Single

I'm guessing the child was Louisa (Louie) Attwell. She married Reginald in 1933 .

got 1939 register info just cannot find any info on bert attwell birth or death he just left home in the 30s his job was a veriaty artist storys handed down said he was In the silent film titanic as one of the band members that went down with the ship..we thing he came from south Africa other than that we know nothing else

Do you have the marriage certificate? Who does he list as his father? What age was he?

Perhaps Bert was more of a stage name. Could be Albert, Bertram, Bertie, Herbert, Hubert, Robert etc.

Think you'll need the details from the certificate.

Chelmsford Chronicle - Friday 06 August 1897

...'The Wolf' and Pinsuti's 'Bedouin Love Song', his splendid bass voice showing to great advantage and seciring for the last mentioned song an encore which was not to be denied. Mr Bert Attwell was similarly rewarded for his song 'Look in mine Eyes' from La Cigale. Madame Florence Reynolds, a sister of the promoter of the concert, gave two songs in good style, joined Mr Attwell in two duets and Miss Ella Armstrong, Messrs Attwell and Gladney Wolf in two quartets......

I wonder if this is relevant ??

Perhaps a misprint in the ER?

(possible for above)

Bert Athuel as posted by Argyllgran is actually at 11 Yates Street (ancestry often transcribes the first street listed on the page)

Thanks, AQ - I meant to correct that, but got side-tracked!

I have to work this morning- but just received message from Terence re the marriage certificate of Bert & Mary:

"Just receved marriage certificate his fathers name was james attwell and his profession was a book maker and berts profession is an artiste theatrical"

-------------------------------------

It might help if you can fill in the other details Terence:

How old was Bert on the certificate?

Who were the witnesses?

What address is given for Bert?

(ah, expect that relates in then somewhere, with below, posted yesterday!)

Only just in from work- message from Terence:

Terence it's easier if you post on the board by using the 'Add your reply' box below.

"Hi Berts age is 33 and a widower address is 324 Bordesley Green Road and the witnesses were P W Vannan and Fred W Harris."
