Yes, Brian, they're both at St. Mary's Parish Church, Hamstead Road, Handsworth. And whoever has tidied the place up has done a wonderful job.

Thanks, Dave, I'll pass your kind comments on to the Church Wardens.I can also exclusively reveal that following the long, and still current, interregnum resulting from the retirement of the Rev. Brian Hall, a new vicar will soon be announced for the Parish, and is likely to start his duties after next Easter.

I thought there may be something in the Archie Hunter book. There isnt. Next time I am in Birmingham I will have a look through the newspapers of that time. They are all on computer so its possible something might show up.
Had a look today. The Birmingham Morning News for that period Mar 1875 is missing unfortunately. The Library people said the papers must have been destroyed by accident or something along those lines. Had a look at 1874 but once again the relevant period is missing. I am afraid the report of Villa's first ever match is lost forever.
