Thanks for your reply. Yes I was able to find registration for the other children, just not Harriet. So it might be that she was not registered or possibly taken in and raised as a daughter. Thanks for the information about the date for compulsory birth registration date.

I cannot find any birth or baptism record for Harriet Heath born in 1858. She was listed on census documents as born in Birmingham and her parents were Joseph Heath 1814-1892 and Harriet (Townley) Heath 1816 -1867. I looked on GRO records and BMD with no success. Are births sometimes not...

I did find a parental confirmation today so uncertainty resolved. Thanks for responding.

Thanks so much for your insight. Appreciate it.

I am looking to confirm the parents of Edward Humphries (1790-1832) born in Ipsley possibly to James Humphreys (1752-1832) and Hannah Forrister. I am wondering if these are the correct family or there may have been other Edward and Hannah Humphries in Ipsley. All the children of James...

Thanks Lyn. I removed my email but not quite sure how to use the private message system. Thanks for the heads up about private contact information.

I would love to receive the information and I will give you my email - Thank you so much. Carol

I would be interested in the details. As well as being an executor on my great grandfather's will (William Heath - 1848-1893) it appears Mr Castiglione came to Canada (Carbon, Alberta) at some point as he is involved in a dispute of land in 1909 with my great grandmother, Frances Martha Heath...

Thank you so much for the census information. It eluded me.

I am looking for census information (1881, 1891 or 1901) for Louis Castiglione possibly spelt Castigaloni. This person is listed an an executor on my great grandfather's will (William Heath) with the address of 55 Thomas Street, Aston and notation of Cycle Sundry Manager.

Hi Janice You have given me the best laugh of the day, the only I think. So funny about neither of us having notable nor commercial ancestors. I look to my humble roots and how they had such resilience and persevered and hope to find the same in this troubled time Look forward to any...

Hi Janice That is interesting about John and Frances. Thanks to the links you have sent I have been reading about the needle industry and it looks like there were some needle makers that were home/cottage based. Perhaps this was the case. I can't find the record but I did see an entry for...

Hi Janice Really appreciate the links to Redditch History as well as the Redditch History newsletter regarding the Humphrey shoes and the unknown family connection. I remember so few threads in my memory bank about my grandma and I thought her family was from Reading and only discouvered...

Hi Lyn Really like this new knowledge about the likely needle factory (Victoria Works) that Harriet worked as and glad she didn't have far to walk knowing that she became widowed and also had 5 children in her care. The map Mike posted showing the location of the Victoria Works on Britten...

Hi Janice Yes magnified like this I see that it does say Warwick Rd. Thanks for this. Carol
