I would appreciate any help anyone is able to give me in my search for the birth of my elusive great 2X gt grandfather Charles Tongue.
Charles was born sometime between 1839 & 1841. Birthdate & place varies according to census
1841 - aged 2 yrs born in county - living with Elizabeth Tongue aged 21 not born in County & lodging with a William Lam & family on Hill St, Green's Village, Birmingham
1851 - unable to trace Charles or Elizabeth
1861 - Charles aged 20 a miner - surname and birthplace noted as Not Known lodging with the Thomas Roe family on Chester Rd Brownhills
1862 - married in Stonnall "of Brownhills" to Emma Upton - aged 21 - a miner - father stated to be Charles Tongue labourer
1871 - aged 30 born Dudley Port, Tipton living on Chester Rd Brownhills
1881 - aged 39 born Birmingham living on Chester Rd Brownhills
1891 - aged 51 born Birmingham living on Chester Rd Brownhills
1901 - aged 60 born Dudley living on Chester Rd Brownhills
1911 - aged 69 born Womborne a widower living with son on Church Rd Brownhills
1914 - aged 72 years - in Brownhills - obituary says he came from "the Dudley side of the District"
There is another family in Birmingham in the same time frame with the father Charles Tongue - Japanners/jewellers but I have traced these and it is not my family of Tongues, unfortunately.
