Hi changinman1
I thought I had more on my GGMs family but I dont. I only recently started going back from my GGMs line a few weeks ago. I looked on Family Search this morning for Hannah's family but without any success - maybe someone on BHF can help. All I can tell you is what appears on the Marriage certificate:
20th June 1858
Alfred Thomas - Age 24 - residing at 86 Great Russel St - occ Button tool maker - Father: Edward Thomas - Brass Founder
Hannah Field - Age 22 - residing at 16 Brealey St - Father:Thomas Field - Gun Maker
Witnesses:Richard Henry Thomas and Harriet Eliza Thomas
They have 4 children - Annie (my GGM) , Rosa, Ada and Julia
At Some point they are all residing at 140 Brearley Street but as to when they moved here I cant tell but they are both at this address between 1881 and 1901. In 1871 they were in Duddeston district but I dont have the address.
Alfred and Hannah were buried in a family grave at Warstone along with my GGMs sister, Rosa and 2 of my GGMs children Rose and Frederick
The reason I found your post coincidental is that in the last couple of weeks I've located all of my GGMs children from 2 previous marriages via BHF, including my GFs half brother Norman Smith, his wife and two children. The children were placed in a Catholic Childrens home after he died in 1932 and his wife was placed in an asylum in the same year - our family having been told they were sent to Canada, all attempts, by my GGMs brother in law to locate them and put them into the family business came to an end !
The first link includes your relative Hannah Thomas (nee Field) who would have been their GM - assuming she is related to your family line?
I'm trying to decipher an address in Lozells from an Army pension record for my GF's step brother. I can read most of it except for the street name. Maybe I'm losing the ability to read anything other than typed text!

The second thread was created almost 11 years ago and led me to contact a distant relative of my GFs half brother
I wonder if anyone can help me. I found this forum whilst searching for information about All Saints Asylum. My Great Aunt went to the asylum in c1932 and died there in 1971. It has taken me a while to find her death certificate as she was registered with the wrong middle name, an approximate...

The threads may not be of interest to you as they are "branching off" from your original request but I wanted to show how even the smallest pieces of info and longshots,
with help from BHF members, can produce results
Let us know how you get on!
