Hi It doesn't seem to come up as a current church on eth CofE information sheets, but I found this site: http://www.birmingham.gov.uk which has the following in archives: *** St Oswald, Bordesley registers of baptisms, 1889-1962; registers of marriages, 1894-1961; registers of confirmations, 1942-93; registers of banns, 1949-72; registers of services, 1889-1973 [EP57]. An additional deposit of records of this church was received in 1997 and has not yet been catalogued. *** This looks very useful http://www.bham.de/index_churches.html HEADINGS: Name Den. Location: Street / Area Built/Consecrated: Year Design Demolished INFO: St Oswald of Worcester coe St Oswalds Rd corner of Coventry Rd Bordesley 1889 W.H. Bidlake no **** This is from a church plans website (which I shall now bookmark! - wouldn't have found a couple of useful sites but for your query.) http://www.*churchplansonline.*com/show_full_image.*asp?resource_id=09557*.tif (remove asterisks) Christine

Hello christine Thanks for all this info. Would you mind checking the webaddress again for churchplansonline. I can't get on it. Do you think the one in Bordesley has been demolished? Shirley
