Re: Thomas Wild hi margaret, i cant understand your problem as he appears on all the censuses right up to 1901 with the family, then in 1911 married with wife and child. i believe he is thomas enoch wild born 1880 jan to march. birmingham 6d 170

I also searched and didnt find anything, sorry Maurice :culpability:

it is a difficult one! the thomas (aged 3 mths) on the 1891 census i found could have died. people often called a future child by the same name when they lost a child, so thats not really a problem. the william young b. abt 1859 "machinist" in 1891 certainly corresponds with the 1911 census...

hi paul, what we mean is that the parents william and elizabeth could have been born in malvern, worc. the children could have been born kings norton worc so the enumerator just dittoed (as it was still worcestershire). also, the william and emma that mws found were parents of william...

I still think its worth a look as the parents are listed as born Malvern, Worc, and the children are just dittoed. (especially as they are living Bordesley as well, which is where you said they married). Best of luck with your search

hi christina, on the 1861 census it appears to say - froggatts building, bordesley street.

the only extra info is that they were bachelor and spinster, both of this parish. witnesses were ann smith and john w tuckley. all the best, shera

hi cuddrm, the only info on the original is that edward kirk was a bachelor "of this parish" and hannah carpenter was a spinster "of this parish". married by banns. signed with a cross. witnesses were william and ann allton , who signed their names. hope this helps in some way.

i presume you found arthur on the 1911 census in the Infantry 1st Bn South Staffordshire regiment.

Great news, so pleased it helps solve your puzzle.

Hi Terry, as Maurice said, nothing in 1918, but in 1920 at "142" Argyle Street theres a Frank and Ellen Harvey. Just coincidence or are these family members and you have wrong house number??

Had a great time on Saturday as usual. Lovely to see everyone and wishing a safe journey home to Shirley, Barb, Bill and Sylvia x
