Has anyone any ideas, please, as to where this place of HOLYHULL might be?
John Smith, Journeyman, Unmarried, 24, Journeyman Locksmith, [where born] Warwicksh, Holyhull
Source ancestry.com 1851 Census: Village of Portobello, Willenhall, Staffordshire HO107/2020
I have found a modern place "Holly Hill, Holly Lane, Balsall Common, Solihull, CV7". Do you think that is the best, or only, match in Warwickshire?
Which then follows (1) is there historical reference to it? (2) which would be the best parish to research birth records?
Thank you to the Birmingham History Forum; I am so grateful for everyone's contributions, enabling me to research my Grandfather's family from Australia - he called himself a "Birmingham Boy"! :angel: :angel: :angel:
