the house seems right. you went up an entry betwween 19 and 21 and that gave you access to 1/25 2/23 3/21 4/19 5/17 and 6/15 . So my info that there were clarkes living there in 1911 is wrong?? Ah well back to drawing board

I cannot see the name Clarke listed as head of house in Alfred Street, Handsworth.

Who is it that you are looking for please, do you have names and dates/ places of birth?

Maybe the Clarkes' moved away from Alfred Street before the census

or moved there after the census?

Stanley Report 6 Sep 2010 21:59

yes i realised after posting so i have edited my father(1913) grew up in that house as did i (1940). I was always led to beleive that his father also lived there before he was born My father had brothers and sisters with different surnames and there is some discrepency as to whom was the farther of whom . Thanks for your efforts anyway
