Many thanks Maddie- I've just taken a quick look, but don't think they are related. I've noted it down just in case though.

Just to put record straight, the original image shows that Rosnnah had (No Occupation) so she was not a [Motor Driver Goods Por]

Ah..Thank you Catherine!

she also has the number 1 against her name, indicating that she is the sole person.

The name immediately under hers, Sydney Powers, who also has the number 1 against his name, indicating a different household. So a house divided into 2???


It is possible that Rosannah's husband was already in the services and away from home

The information here has been great- after a little more digging I found that Sydney Powers was the husband of Rosannah's sister-in-law- so although listed as two households under the same address, they obviously knew each other. So thankyou for your help.

Rosannah's mother (also Rosanna/ Rosannah) remarried to a Samuel King in 1923 Birmingham- he was a bad lot who spent much time in and out of prison. I believe he died in 1938.

I have Rosannah King on the 1939 electoral register living at 2 back 15 Ormond Street, Duddeston, Birmingham living with her daughter Florence Parkes. Rosannah was born c1880 and Florence was born in 1918 and married Alfred Taylor in 1939.

I believe this is Rosannah King on the 1939 register- I would be very grateful if someone could check the image to see if there is anyone else at the address and post Rosannah's birth date:

oh- have just seen you've added- many thanks Dea. The names don't mean anything at the moment, but I'll do a little digging just in case.

And Safc- that's just confirmed what I thought- widowed. Thankyou so much- you've all been a great help.

Austin .


once again, for clarification

to the left of every name on the image of the 1939 Register, there is a number that indicates a person's position in a particular household

Head of household is always 1

Looking at the image of Rosannah King, she is 1 ...... therefore Head of Household

James Donlan is 1 . therefore Head of the Donlan household
Ann Donlan is 2
James Donlan is 3

Also at the same address are two other families, with the first male denoted as #1

Charles S Edwards (an undertaker!), Annie Edwards, and a closed record

Henry Dean, Jessie Dean (later Burt), Brenda Rita Dean (later Page) b 1936, and a still closed record before Brenda

ALL are separate households at the same address.

Charles Edwards + family are next door at No 16 and Henry Dean + family are at No. 17!! - NOT the same household !!

oops ...............


did I mis-read that?

Sorry.

But the Donlans are still shown as a separate household, indicated by the 1 to the left of James name.

In fact, Rosannah's address is shown as 2/15 Ormond Street

The Donlans' address is 15 Ormond Street.


Seeing the 2/15 of the address, made me wonder what that meant ........... so went back 1 page, and there is a family shown as living at 1/15 Ormond Street ..........

1 Thomas E.H Morgan b 4 Jan 1877
2 Leonard H Morgan b 21 July 1916
3 Catherine Morgan (later Young) b 31 Dec 1920


so there are 3 families connected with 15 Ormond Street ...................

the Morgans, Rosannah, and the Donlans


I don't know why the Morgans and Rosannah are designated as 1/15 and 2/15, while the Donlans are simply 15 Ormond Street.
