Hi Friends and Followers.
We are back in Birmingham and moored just inside the Oozells Street loop, outside the Sea Life Centre in Birmingham City centre.
This morning I was on a mission. I wanted to find the final resting place of my Great Grandmother Sarah Ann Owen (Thacker). From the information I have she was buried in Key Hill Cemetery.
SARAH ANN OWEN (THACKER): At the time of her marriage to Alfred Evans Owen in 1874 her residence was stated as Stour Street, Birmingham.
The 1911 census states that Alfred and Sarah had in all 15 children but by the time the census was taken 4 of them had died.
CENSUS NOTES:
1861 - Lived with parents and siblings at 4, 3 Court, Ryland Street, Birmingham.
1871 - Lived at Bishopsgate Street Court, Birmingham, with parents and siblings.
1881 - Living with husband & daughters Amy, Rose and Millicent at 56 Chester Street, Birmingham.
1891 - Living with husband & children at 14 Tindal Street, Birmingham.
1901 - Living with husband & children at 9, Caroline Street, Birmingham.
1911 - Living at 3 Regent Place, St. Marks, Birmingham with her husband and children.
When son Harry joined the Army in 1916, Sarah was stated as his next of kin and her address was given as 99 Hingeston Street, Brookfields, Birmingham
