Billingham house plaque

I understand from my dad's cousin Geoffrey (son of Martha Willetts nee Billingham) that there is some sort of plaque or stone with Jacob Billingham (or just Billingham or plus Sophia?) in either a wall or on the side of a house and I wonder if anyone has ever seen it or has a photo. I don't know whether the houses are still there or whether it would need to be an old photo as I don't live in the Birmingham area. If there is one I think it would be either on Terrace Street where Jacob had some houses or on Siviters Lane where he lived originally.
