Heaths in Birmingham (early 1800s)

Hi,

I am searching for the birth/cristening details of my ancestors on my Dad's side, Abraham Heath, born about 1779 and Mary Tench born abt. 1783.

I have looked in some detail in the parish registers in the Birmingham central library but as yet no sign of them. I know they married in Oct 1802 - have found the parish register for St.Edburgha, Yardley. Have also found many of their children via IMI records, but as yet not the parish records.

Any suggestions would be welcome, especially if anyone has these people in the family trees.

Many thanks,

Bob Heath

Family Search IGI Records

Hi Alf,

Thanks for the reply and suggested lead. I have used similar searches before - that is how I found the children of Abraham & Mary (should have said IGI not IMI in my first request for help).

I have retried the search you suggest and this came up with details of Abraham and Mary plus their son Abraham (b1805). However I really want to go backwards to their birth/christening and preferably their parents - cannot find the details on IGI and would prefer the real parish records as I understand the IGI records can be inaccurate. I found the details of Abraham & Mary's marriage through the Greater Birmingham Marriage Index provided by BMSGH - went to their library in the Midland Institute (this index now also online).

Thanks once again thanks for the help - anything else would be very much appreciated.
