I have hit a brick wall with my family research so if anyone out there is researching this name and has any ideas as to what or where I can go next it would be most appreciated.

My 2x Gt Grandfather was Henry Foulkes/Fowkes born c1820 in Birmingham, on the 25/12/1840 he married Mary Spalding b1820 at Harborne Parish Church. His father was stated as Warley Foulkes deceased, Glass Cutter. I have looked everywhere possible that I can online (due to a disability I am limited) and the only Henry Foulkes baptism I can find is for a Henry Foulkes b: 27/4/1820 - christened 1834 at St Marys Handsworth to a Benjamin & Catherine Foulkes

I have all the census info and in 1841 Henry & Mary Folkes/Foulkes/Fowkes lived at Ninevah Handsworth & in 1871 he appeared with a different wife called Caroline
