I can carry out searches of these but it must be borne in mind that not all the pages are legible! Also, any information you have regarding period of time is very important.

Chris
 
:) Thanks Harbourne, thats real nice of you, you,ve already helped me before, i have a few more, need to sort them out:)
 
Harborne, do you think you could have a look for Richard Poolton b1799?
I think he was christened at St. Martin's, but I'm not absolutely sure.
Many thanks
Charlie
 
Hi Charlie, sorry I've searched from 1796 to through to January 1802 and can't find him. Have you tried St Philip's?
 
Thanks for looking anyway Harborne, I'll trot off to Central Library asap and check out St. Phillips.
Thank you for your trouble, 'preciate it!

Many thanks for all your hard work, Harborne. I've made a note of all those Pooltons and will investigate further.
I'll also have another look at the IGI site - been a while since I've been on that (too busy reading all the threads on here!!!) Must get some work done - or shall I go on reading.............yeah, you're absolutely right, no contest!

Edgbaston Churches

Harborne,

I think the Richard Poolton marriage (1824 to Elizabeth Heade) was my Greatx3 Grandfather. I only have "Edgbaston" as the church where they were married though. Any idea how far Edgbaston would have stretched in the early 1800's? Would it include St. Philips do you think?
His son Thomas was married at The Old Meeting House (Unitarian) in Phillip Street in 1847 - before they razed it for New Street Station - would that come under Edgbaston? The thought of going to Birmingham Library and trawling through all the Edgbaston churches gives me the heebies. I have to eat sometime!!!:D
Thanks: Charlie
 
To be quite honest Charlie, I don't really know how far Edgbaston stretched in those days. I suppose it could have included St Philip's; but don't forget people moved around a lot too, the same as they do now. Maybe some other kind soul on the forum could help you with regard to boundaries, etc. Sorry I couldn't help you there Charlie.

Best wishes.
 
Hi Charlie, there is one church in Egbaston early enough for Richard Poolton's marriage, St Bartholomews. There were lots of other churches but all built after 1824.
 
Just come back from B'ham Central Library (a quick trip, and I'm still exhausted!) and found Richard Poolton's marriage to Elizabeth Heads - it WAS at St. Bartholemews, so thank you for the information.
Doesn't help much though, I think they wanted to save on ink in those days and it doesn't give an address, parents names, occupations or anything. So I'm stuck now :| . Oh well, another new challenege.
Thanks to everyone though.
 
Would anyone be able to help with these two marriages at St.Martins. John Wilmott 13 June 1803 to Ann Lilly. George Willmott 26 October 1815 to Ann Lilly. Would like to know who the witnesses were and any other information that may be available. Thankyou. Moya
 
St Martins.

Hello Moya,
as I am going into B'ham library on saturday I will try and do
this lookup for you.
Regards,
Margaret.
 
St.Martins

Thankyou Margaret. I am very curious that the brides should have the same names, 12 years apart. Moya
 
Hello Moya, I have just had a look at St Martins registers for the info;
John Wilmott m Ann Lilly 13th June 1803 she is recorded as spinster he batchelor. Witnesses Richard Lilly and Elizabeth Horton or Martin its very difficult to read but looks more like Horton. Unfortunately fathers names were never listed this early. I had a look at the other record and sorry to say its just a list of the married couples names under the date. Hope this helps a bit Wendy.

St.Martins Registers

Thankyou Moma, I'm still lost as to which of the Ann's belongs to me, I'll just keep on digging! Regards Moya
 
St Martins.

Hello again Moya,
as you now have the info you needed, I will cross your request from my list..okay????
Margaret.
 
Can anyone please help to find a bapt.for a Richard Rich c.1800 please?
parents names Thomas + Susanna.
Brother William bapt.St Martins 10 dec.1892
Sister Susanna --- --------- 2 feb 1894 (Sus.indexed as Rick on IGI)
I've been searching for ages to try + find this bapt,so really would be
grateful for any help.

Thankyou
Jackie.
 
Jackie

Have you got the time period for the baptism correct for Richard (you stated c 1800) - only you then say his brother William was baptised 1892.

Fay
 
St Martins Baptism

Hello Fay
Thankyou for replying to my query.
The only info I have re.Richards age is from the 1841 census (40) at Dudley Worcs,he died in 1848.
He wed in 1827 at Dudley.
This is the only Rich family in Dudley in 1841,Susanna (sister) now married
also lives there.
William is living at Tipton.
Wlm + Sus. both wed at Tipton and Sus husband was a witness at Wlm's
2nd marriage.
I strongly believe that Rich.is a brother to Wlm + Sus.
Another link, is that Rich's wife was born at Tipton.
I have searched IGI using all the variations I can think of for Rich,at Worcs - Staffs-Warks.

Jackie.
 
Jackie

William couldn't have been baptised in 1892 if you have found him on the 1841 census.

Did you mean 1792

Fay
 
St Martins Baptisms

Oh Fay!
I feel such a fool, those dates should have been Wlm 1792 +
Sus.1794.
So sorry.

Jackie.
 
Jackie

That's what I was referring to when I first replied to your message.

Anyway, don't worry - it is so easily done. We all make those sort of mistakes when your head is fully of dates.

Haven't got much time at the moment as I am just off to work but will have a mooch about for you over the weekend.

I am sure someone will come up with something for you.

Regards

Fay
 
Jackie

I did have a mooch about (on the computer) over the weekend but i'm sorry to say I didn't come up with any more information than you already have.

I will be going to Birmingham Central Library at some point over the next couple of months to look at the Church Records so I can have a look at St Martins baptisms then if you would like me to.

Regards

Fay
 
St Martins Baptism

Thankyou Fay for your time +kind offer.
I have narrowed down the date for Richard 1802-3 Found his burial in 1849 Dudley. he was 46.
Could you check a marriage for me. in 1792 St Martins
IGI index has Thomas Richards +Susanna Jordan
Familyhistory has ---- Rich + ----- -----

Jackie

ps If I find anything in the meantime, will let you know. (save your time)
