Chapter 14: Albert Edward EGGLETON (b.1877 d.1928)

Like his father, Albert Edward was a tradesman, although in his case it was carpentry that he practiced. At the turn of the twentieth century Albert Edward was living with his greengrocer brother, Henry, at 87 Cregoe Street in Edgbaston, on the south-western outskirts of Birmingham. Today Edgbaston is perceived as a ‘leafy’ residential area in close proximity to the amenities of the City Centre. Many of the properties in the area are Edwardian and it was these that Albert Edward probably helped to build.

Cregoe Street - 1897

Albert Edward married Harriet Jones (chapter 15) in the spring of 1899. The couples first child, Edith, had been born more than 12 months earlier. Two more children followed, Raymond Albert (Chapter 17) in 1903 and Elsie Mabel in 1912. At the time the former was born the family were living at 1 Hay Road in Yardley, to the east of Birmingham. At the time of his death from pneumonia in October 1928, Albert Edward was living at 178 Malmesbury Road, just off Coventry Road in nearby Small Heath. Five years after her husband's death, Harriet married Harry George Fielder, who was ten years her senior. Harriet was widowed for a second time after less than four years of her second marriage. Harriet died in Selly Oak Hospital of pneumonia following a stroke in October 1956.

Edith Annie married Edwin Norman Frazier and had four children. The oldest of these, Dorothy Hilma, died tragically when the motor-cycle side car in which she was travelling, and which was being driven by her uncle Raymond Albert, was involved in an accident. Raymond Albert himself became an insurance agent. Elsie Mabel married George William Felton and had one child, a daughter, Frances.
