Hi
Does anyone have access to a marriage record in Bishop Ryder church Birmingham On 4th June 1876.

I am looking for the parents and address if poss, of a William wood and Mary Ann Buckingham.

Many thanks

Dean
 
Hi dean the record I,ve found states that William wood was a malter (sounds like a brewer) his father was George wood, mary ann,s father was Anthony Buckingham they were both labourers, looks like according to the 1871 census and the 1881 census, that they started out in Leighton buzzard and went back there,the address in b,ham I cant make out maybe some of the forum experts could help youBirminghamEnglandMarriagesandBanns1754-1937ForMaryAnnBuckingham.jpgall the best michael
 
A maltster makes malt, and , although many of the maltings are now owned by breweries, that wasn't always the case. In fact maltings were also used to make malt for malt vinegar and pickles, so he could have been working in that field, or possibly making malt for both.
I thnk the street is Legge St, which ran approximately parallel and close to Moland St which is now mostly under part of Aston university. 1876 directories list Thomas Moxham as a maltster & hop merchant in Moland st (his sun being a gunmaker on the same premises). I would think this is the most likely place he could ahev worked.

ok mhemery. Note I have corrected name of st in original, where I had put "Legge St is close and parallel to Legge St". Must have been a bit late in the evening for me.
