*Arc tbc* -----Hingley/Birch/Tandy/Johnson

[SRD]

As Northern Lass' suggests a thread here I'll repeat my intro:

My grandfather was Horace James HINGLEY, he lived in Compton Road, Cradley Heath. He worked for GWR as a clerk (at Birmingham, Snowhill I think) then as a solicitors clerk in Stourbridge (I think). He was an active Mason (I think at the Rowley Regis lodge). He had a sister Milly who married Jim JOHNSON, a tool maker, they lived in Witley Avenue, Halesowen. For many years my great-grandmother (research suggests she was Lydia Sarah) lived with them in Halesowen.

My grandmother was Fanny Louise BIRCH, I understand that her family ran a bakery and had a handful of shops in the area but these were sold before I was born. She had a younger sister, Minnie, who married the firm's delivery man, Tom TANDY, who came from the countryside having been a carter for a farm, possibly at Clent, Romsley or Belbroughton. They lived in the Birch family home; High House in Lawrence Lane, Old Hill. I understand that there was an older brother too; family gossip was that he ran off with a barmaid to run a pub, anathema to the church going Birches, my grandmother never referred to him but my great-aunt, who was much more down-to-earth, did acknowledge his existence even if she knew nothing else about him.

We are a small family; my father was an only child and was killed in 1959, with no siblings or direct cousins, and I was his only child. So I am the last living member of my branch of the Hingley family. The only memories are those told me by my mother, Audrey HAINES who died in 2004.

I have a website at http://www.riverdale.org.uk/ where there are pages regarding my father and the family tree I have managed to put together with the (considerable) help of those mentioned above.

As you can see from the attached file I have managed to find quite a bit about the middle distance regarding my forebears and I'm not really interested in going any further back but I am interested in more recent info, especially on the Birch side of the family, I'm fascinated by the 'Black Sheep' brother. And I do wonder if I have distant cousins on the Hingley side, maybe from the children of Timothy Tobias Hingley and Jane Bloomer.

Thanks Annie, I'd completely forgotten that my great-aunt was Mildred, that might explain why searches for Millie drew complete blanks.

[SRD]

I see that the BCC trees don't include Frank & Sarah Hingley's children. I wish I could find where I got the info from, it was a website with hundreds of census listings, I think they were provided by someone who isn't too fond of certain sites charging for the information so, whenever the opportunity arises, posts copies of anything they may have discovered. It came from a link from another site but I'll be b******d if I can find out which one.

[linell]

I only added what connects to me on there Simon, too many Hingley's there are thousands of them

Linell.

[SRD]

There can never be too many Hingleys!
