Thanks for that Northern Lass have had a quick look but think I will have to go to Walsall Local History Centre. Went there a few years back for Family History research but did not think about photo's at the time. As far as I can remember it was just before you get to Bloxwich and it is by Bently Co...

Just wondered if anybody by any chance had a photo of School Street Short Heath or The Woolpack in Coltham Row, also Short Heath.

I have looked through familysearch and can only find Mary and William Christenings. I thought William might have married someone with the name Russell with the name added to Mary but have looked through Free BDM and people search and have not found anything. I wonder if they are down as tromans in t...

Hve managed to find on Family search a William and a Mary Russell both born to William and Ann Maria Trueman so think I can take it that this is William's Father and Mother thanks for help another step back, now to try even further.
Can this information go on your site!!

We will have done it for them or it will be on a computer database!!
They will not have had the fun of going through parish registers trying to find the elusive ancestor and the feeling one gets when "eruka" found you.

Can i say a great big THANK YOU for all the hard work people are doing regarding the Tromans I am trying to get as much information as I can on both sides of the family for my Grand-daughter so she will know as much about her ancestors as possible. My paternal Grandfather came from Ireland so have o...
