Hi Linell,
I lived there from 1956(when I was born) till 1974, but my Mum lived there till 2000. You are right about Lord Cobham owning a lot of the land. My Great- Grandfather, George Eades, bought what is now Feldon Lane and surrounding area from the estate in about 1900. I've got copies of the deeds.

Re: 1841 Census occupation notification.
It was originally Blackheath, Birmingham. But then became Halesowen, Worcestershire. Now it's Halesowen, West Midlands. But the council ward is still Hill I think.
