Having followed my mother's line (Norton), I am now trying to follow up my father's line.
Father's name was Wilfred Nurse and he was born on May 23, 1916 in Sparkbrook, Birmingham. His father (my grandad) was Frederick James Nurse and he died in 1938 in Selly Oak Birmingham at the age of 63, meaning he must have been born around 1875.
My Great Grandad seems to have been a Jabez or James Nurse and was in Worcester at point before moving to Birmingham. He is described as Shoemaker and Phrenologist (reader of bumps on people's heads -apparently very fashionable in the Victorian days!). He is dhown in the 1881 census as having been born at Lye (or Leigh) Waste in the Black Country.
Anyone out there have any connections to this line? If so, I would be very pleased to hear from you!
P.S. I have found out a bit about my father's 2 sisters, Dorothy and Elsie but very little otherwise.
