Can anyone tell me for the purpose of registering births, marriages, and deaths, if Tipton in the West Midlands came under West Bromwich. I have an address of Cophall Street, West Bromwich for one of my ancestors, but the only one I can find is in Tipton, a few miles away

Thanks for the information. I have looked in the A-Z and the only Cophall Street, I can find is in Tipton, and the the person I am researching had her death registered in West Bromwich. Perhaps there was another Cophall Street. Anyway, many thanks for helping.

some of my relatives died in the Basford District of Nottinghamshire, but they didnt live IN Basford, they lived in Bulwell, Hucknall, Kirkby in Ashfield, but they all fall under the Basford District. does that help clarify at all?Julie

To give you some idea where it was the enumeration district that includes Tophall Street is described as follows:
In St Peter Ecclesiastical District. All that part of the Parish of West Bromwich comprising both sides of Oldbury Road from Grout Street to Farley Street, New Town Yard, Horton Street, Cophall Street and all Back houses.

Just a thought, are there any hospitals in w/brom? it might be that although she lived in Tipton, she died in a Hospital in w/brom that would mean as she died there she would be registered there and not Dudley. (sorry am rambling)Julie

I also have ancestors who lived in Cophall Street, West bromwich. My grandfather was born there in 1888 and his birth certificate was issued by the sub district of West Bromwich being West Bromwich South West! They also lived in Whitehall Road at other times, and if you search the postcode DY4 7 on Maps you will see both of these roads in West Bromwich.
Also I have found the following quote on the internet " The Cophall council estate west of Whirehall Road was begun in 1959 after the clearance of about 100 slum houses some of them back-to-back.
