Surnames: Lee, elwell
Does anyone know the exact location of the Wednesbury Forge that was owned by the Elwell family in the 19 century? I trying to find out more about my gr grandparents Thomas and Elizabeth Lee. Thomas was an edge tool grinder and, since he lived a few doors away from the Elwells, I assume he worked for them. He lived in Forge Lane but that doesn't seem to exist any more. St Pauls vicarage was a few doors away and I am wondering if Forge Lane could have been the old name for St Pauls Road as that is where my family were living 20 years later.
Also my gr grandmother later kept the Forge Arms which also doesn't seem to exist any more. Does anyone know the location of this pub? Has it gone or has it's name changed? My mother told me it was a pub and smallholding in those days, but I doubt there are many fields around there now!
