Another piece to the puzzle from a member of my family - the shop was in Edgebaston? does anyone have any idea how to trace this shop and its owners?

Wow thanks all from one little piece of paper! not sure where they fit in to the tree now! still have to fit the original pair in to the tree

Hi If it was a society wedding this would have been reported in a newspaper, possibly even The Times. Maureen

There is this marriage in 1935, that sounds like it could be a society wedding going by the name of the groom:- Hilda M. Arnold to Walter T. A. Du Faur March qtr. 1935, Hammersmith, 1a, 378 Might be worth ordering the certificate and stipulating that you only want it if the bride's father is called George. Kath. x

a habidashery (sorry about the spelling there follks)

i think that George Arnold wasn`t born in birmingham but in Stafforshire as most of the other family members i have are there would they be on any of the census as owning the shop?

Victoria do you know if the Arnold Stores were Butchers? 1901 census... Name: Samuel Arnold Age: 44 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1857 Relation: Head Spouse's name: Clara Gender: Male Where born: Tipton, Staffordshire, England Civil Parish: Birmingham Ecclesiastical parish: St Mary County/Island: Warwickshire Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Education: Employment status: View Image Registration district: Birmingham Sub-registration district: St George ED, institution, or vessel: 47 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 8 Household Members: Name Age Bertha Arnold 12 Clara Arnold 42 Emily Arnold 17 Harry Arnold 13 Mabel Arnold 4 Percy Arnold 15 Samuel Arnold 44 Maggie Sanders 23 Osmond Turner 21 Harry Valmer 19 Herbert Walbank 23 Samuel was a Butcher & Shopkeeper. Georgina.

I have found in census Arnold who was a fruiterer. Do you know what kind of shop it was?

I think the Hilda born in 1913 could have been from this marriage... Marriages Jun 1905 >>Arnold William Aston 6d 692 Parry Dorothy Aston 6d 692 >>TOMMS Agnes Aston 6d 692 WALKER Harry Joseph Aston 6d 692 Its the only Arnold /Tomms marriage I can see between 1900-1912. Georgina.

From IGI, but I could be leading you up the garden path here? George Arnold Male -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Event(s): Birth: Christening: 05 MAY 1894 Aston-Brook, Birmingham, Warwick, England Death: Burial: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Parents: Father: Samuel Arnold Family Mother: Clara Arnold

I`m not sure is there any way of tracing it through the shop and finding the truth about the owners that way?

This birth on Freebmd, could have been born end of 1913 I think it means mothers maiden name Tomms Births Mar 1914 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ARNOLD Hilda Tomms Aston 6d 1159

Mary and George Arnold - Brother and sister? owned Arnold Stores in Birmingham George had Daughter Hilda born about 1913? Society wedding 1935 possibly Hilda but no idea who she married?
