Thankyou everyone. I will look into this a little more!

Hi Lyn, That's interesting that Katherine/Catherine was from Berkswell. How far is that from Claverdon and are we able to tell if they married in Claverdon? Was it the norm to marry in the bride's parish at that time? I also wonder whether they had children prior to the John born in 1751 and...

Hi Lyn, Thankyou. I am trying to find a marriage record for a John Wheeler marrying a Catherine. (I have no idea of her maiden name) I am using an educated guess that they were married in 1750 in Claverdon as I have a baptismal record of whom I think is their first child John born in 1751 which...

Hi Lyn. Sorry. Yes Claverdon is in Warwickshire. Hope this helps somewhat!

Hi All, I'm just wondering if someone would be able to point me in the right direction. I am wondering if there is a family history society or a forum of some sort for the Calverdon area as I have some questions regarding ancestors there. Thank you in advance. Nicole

His sister married a William Capewell who was a wire worker and lived in mill court. The father John woolaston was a carpenter and lived with Eliza and William. He was 72 when he passed. And I'm fascinated with reading about the history of St Martin's Church and Edgbaston St Bartholomew where...

Thank you everyone. I'm sure Birmingham would have been a very busy and noisy place in the early 1820s and onwards. It certainly would have been a different world being transported as a convict to Australia.

Yes sorry. I thought the 1841 census had it written but it didn't so I went for the 1851 census instead!

Hi All. Here is a census from 1851. The names are William Capewell, Eliza Capewell, John Capewell and John Woolaston. Beneath that are the relatives of the Woolaston family. Closer to the top there is an address listed next to another family which I can't seem to make out! Hope this helps...

Ok. I have a census record from 1841 with the address 9 Old Mill Court Bradford Street St Martin so just wondered if it was near the church!

Hi All. Just wondering if anyone would be able to shed some light on where Old Mill Court Bradford Street would have been c 1840s. Would there be any historic maps showing the area? Thanks in advance. Nicole
