Forsyth Family in Birmingham

Hello

I'm new to this Forum and wonder whether some kind person could do OPR lookups to help me trace this Forsyth line? :)

There may be some Forsyth records at St Martin's and St Phillips, Birmingham, but I would be interested in anything related to Forsyths in Warwickshire please.

I am interested in obtaining more info about the marriage of John Forsyth to Ann Newbold on 1 January 1833, Aston Juxta, Birmingham

Also John's death age 32 and burial on 11 Dec 1840 at St Martin, Birmingham, and possibly his birth around 1808.

The LDS Pilot site has the marriage of a John Forsyth to an Ann Newbold on 1 January 1833, Aston Juxta, Birmingham. These may be John Junior's Parents and I wonder whether there is more info on the actual register.

The younger John Forsyth and his Mother Ann moved to Staffordshire after the death of John in 1840, and eventually he ended up in Denbighshire. I have him in Census from 1841 so it is the earlier period of this family that is a brickwall. :(

Thanks

the burial record is correct and gives his abode as barracks. there isnt a birth though at st. martins
 
Thank you Shera
I found a possible John Forsyth christening record in LDS site:
John Forsyth born 12 OCT 1840 christened 22 OCT 1840 at Saint Phillips, Birmingham, Warwick, England
parents John and Ann Forsyth

John Forsith - Dec 1840 Aston 16 167

1841 HO107/977/1 23 8 Aldridge, Staffordshire
Ann Forsaith, 25
John Forsaith, 8 mo
Joseph Newbold(?), 2

this fits with the death of John in 1840.

1861 J Forsyth age 20 born Birmingham at Hulme Cavalry Barracks (RG9/2890 125 14) - so this would link with the Barracks connection you mention.

Hopefully someone else can assist with the other questions.

Hello again

Also LDS had Ann Forsith
Burial Date: 08 Mar 1842
Burial Place: St. Martin Parish, Birmingham, Warwick, England
Age: 5
Birth Date: 1837

Is there any other information given that would confirm that this is the same family please?

the only extra info on this record is the abode - windsor street. hope this helps you
 
Windsor St ran parallel to Barrack St of the Vauxhall Rd The Barracks where between them could there be an army connection. Dek
 
Thank you Shera and Dek

Does anyone know which regiment were based there around 1840 please?
I found this reference online and wondered whether there could be a connection.
