The Elusive Morris England.
Thank you for your email relating to stall holders at the Bull Ring market, and in particular your grandfather, Morris England. I have looked through the indexes available in the Archives and Heritage section and have found that we do hold commitee minutes relating to the markets, from 1851-1974. Unfortunately there are no indexes to the minutes and although it is possible that they contain information regarding stall holders licences, you would need to search through them by date, with there being no guarantee that you would find any information of use to you.
There are also some birmingham market records at MS619, and although these are unlikely to contain any reference to your grandfather, they may be of a more general interest to you. If you would like to email me your address I will send you a copy of the list of records at MS619. If there are any items on it that look to be of interest, please let us know two weeks or more before you plan to visit, so that an archivist can assess both the condition of the records, and also whether there is any sensitive information that would be closed to public view.
The market committee minutes and MS619 would be served in a special archival "secure area" and you would need a national archives (CARN) ticket to enter this area. The "secure area" has different opening hours to the rest of the library, and I am attaching details of these, and the CARN ticket, to this email, so that you can read them prior to any visit to the library.
I hope that this information is helpful to you,
