I know that my father was born in Blackheath in 1926 near to Ross, his father was called William Law born about 1898 he married Dora (nee) Taylor born apprx 1890. Thats all I know. Would welcome any information on the law families who lived in Rowley Regis. I know there were severak LAw's living ion and around Rowley. Contact davidlaw@btinternet.com Re: Trace the LAW family by David Leonard Law (Member 10122777) on 22-Apr-2004 Hi there, my name is David Law and I am writing after seeing your message on the Blackheath Knowhere site. I was born and lived in Blackheath for 32 years before moving to North Wales and then on to Spain where I have lived for the past 5 years. For most of the time I lived in Blackheath I resided in Powke Lane only moving when they demolished our house. I then lived in Summer Road then after I married I lived in the flats at Belle End then Eagle Close on the Brickhouse estate. Nearly all my family come from the Blackheath area though some moved away to neighbouring districts over the years. If you are interested please get in touch and we can see where things go from there. Regards, David Law. ... more >> Re: Trace the LAW family by David (Member 10110616) on 12-Apr-2005 Hi, Having not been on this site for some time, I forgot I had a message posted. I 1st thought that the name Law was not to popular, but when I was a young boy I knew 2 otehr boys at Powke Lane school called Law, one was called David a year below me. I'm 56 years old this year so may be we might have been at school together. I was at Powke Lane to 1959 then went on to Britanna Road. As far a s my parents, my mother still lives in Sandford Ave, as far as I know all teh Law family have lived in Rowley Regis since the 1850's, but not sure what happened before that. Have you got anywhere with your side of the family? Regards David Law ... more >> Re: Trace the LAW family by David Leonard Law (Member 10122777) on 4-Jul-2005 Hi there, yes it is probably me that you knew. I am 54 so one year younger than you. I was at Powke Lane school and then went on to Brittania Road. My father was named Harry and we lived right opposite Powke Lane school. I don't know too much about the family before my father but I do know that my father had five brothers and 3 sisters. Re: Trace the LAW family by steve.smith (Member 10163522) on 10-Sep-2005 Hi David, A little off your topic, but did you live at 19 Powke Lane ? I am Steve Smith who lived next door at number 20 ! I recall we used to play togerther in your back yard ! We moved down the lane to number 91 in 1958 when I was 8 years old but as I remember we remained in touch for some time after that. Some time after we moved out our houses were demolished and the ground laid unused until quite recently. Incidently, I see they have now demolished Powke Lane school Regards Steve ... more >> Re: Trace the LAW family by David Leonard Law (Member 10122777) on 27-Oct-2005 Well hello Steve, yes this is the David Law who lived at 19 Powke Lane. It is really good to hear from you and to know that you are okay. I didn't know that they had demolished the school, it seems that nothing lasts forever. The last time I visited Blackheath was about 8 years ago just before I moved out to Spain. It had changed a lot from what I remember, before moving to Spain I had lived in Ol d Colwyn in North Wales for 16 years, I've moved around a bit. What are you doing now? Any news on other things happening in the old Blackheath Area. Anyway it is really good to hear from you and I'll check more often to see if you have left a message. All the best old friend, Dave. ... more >> Reply
