I'm writing up a line of my mother in law's family tree who, so far, have all been from Birmingham and the surrounding areas.
I have checked on Ancestry and Find My Past, so have births, marriages and deaths and addresses from the Censuses, Midland Electoral Register and 1939 Register. They don't appear to be in any newspapers or any other records. My narrative is a rather dull reading of where they lived and basic facts. She is from Birmingham so I don't need to add information about where the places are, etc. and I'm wondering how I can make it more interesting.
I spent a large part of yesterday Googling asnd can't seem to find any further online sources available. Does anyone have any idea where I can look? They all seem to be Engineers / Electrical Contractors (so not policeman / railways workers whose work records may be available).
Any advice gratefully received!
