I am looking to trace a Lesie Whorwood Auster.
I have an address for the year 1861 as Park Hill, Kings Norton, Worcestshire . The address as now shown looks to have been built long after that date.
Also I have been led to understand that the property had land, and am wondering if this could have been around Cotteridge Park?
Thank you.

Hello Trudie
Park Hill was (and still is) in Moseley (off the Alcester Road) which was in the 19th Century in the Parish of Kings Norton.
I have found Leslie Auster born circa 1886 living with his family in Park Hill at the 1891 census.
Please contact me if you require any further details.

That Park Hill address is Moseley.
Moseley and Balsall Heath, Kings Heath and Harborne were part of Kings Norton at one time.
