so could be this one esp if JB remembers those names as familiar

Carole might be worth contacting dudley archives and asking them if they have an employers list
for a certain date 1911? for the above industry

Thanks for that everyone...

I have sent emails to Dudley archives.
Is there an archives in Halesowen...excuse me if thats a silly Q

Northern Lass i saw that you added my grandfather on BCC thanks...it looks great... would you like childrens names or do you only put children born in UK. Frank and Mary had 5 children but only 2 survived to adulthood and Aunt Edith from previous marriage. Both my mum and her sister are deceased.

You guys have given me lots, but i still dont know all the steelworks in that area... is there a book about it or something?
Linell do you know the steelworks name at that address?
Jimmy thanks for those sites.
Cheers Carole

The archives may be able to help with list of Steel works or maybe historical directories

going to flag this now to archive it
