I am adding info onto BCC from Bell End Chapel Rowley Regis headstones from the forum.

The children of Samuel Bowater - John, Mary and Samuel are not the children of Mary Ann Roberts, as on the GRO birth index it gives their Mother as Hipkiss.

If agreed, could somebody please do the honours of disconnecting on BCC as I don't want to mess it all up, then I can carry on adding the info from the headstones.

Thanks.

I was born at 71 Beamont Road in 1942 and I remember Mrs Bowater at 73 Beaumont Road as 71, 72,73 and 74 all had a joint yard and entry . Guy family lived at 72

Just checked my birth cert. and I was born at 72 and Guy family were at 71 ,
72 was empty in 1939 as my parents moved there in 1941 when my brother was born
Road was renumbered after war and 72 is now number 18
