Thanks to you both. must be somewhere by the old accident hospital then/ Jean

Thanks Shera, the writing was so small had difficulty reading it. Plus it was a new address for the family, which is why I questioned it. Can you tell which part of birmingham it was in please?

Have birth cert - think it says 14 communication Row [1854]. Home of Green family. Am I reading the street name correctly? Jean

Re: Thomas Green - Hi all - i'm back again :wave: I am still stuck. Have not found a birth for thomas green b abt 1824 harborne, so i thought i would try to find a death!! He was 68 in the 1891 census living with his son Alfred & family and neither he or Hannah appear in 1901 censuses. I think...

Thanks Lloyd, That seems to be a problem, the variation in the spelling. This is the cert I have for Sarah Jane, but mothers name is Hannah Brick. But as we cannot find a Coulthard - Brick marriage, maybe [[unthinkable]] I am chasing the wrong family. Though Sarah Jane is my g grandmother...

That's the correct family, and James was elusive at times. No the [Brick] ;) was mothers maiden name on Sarah Jane's birth cert. He was later a stone mason. Jean

Hi Jean, Yes it is an unusual name. You would think they would be easy to track down!!! Jean

Thank you Lloyd, I found Hannah Taylor as well. The problem is, have I wrong birth cert for daughter Sarah Jane [[Coalthard]]. It's the only one I could find for the date 1858. The address on the birth cert looks like Albion House, Ladywood Lane, Edgbaston!! The parents names are James & Hannah...

Hi, I am unable to find a marriage between James Coulthard & Hannah Brick about 1850. James was born Lancaster, Hannah Upton-upon-seven Worcester. Hannah Brick is the name I have on daughters birth cert 1858, if it is the correct one that I have!! The family lived in Birmingham from 1861 census...

Wow Mike, No I have not noticed that!! I have not been able to find a birth for Thomas as of yet. I will in future take more notice when looking at the censuses. I am still stuck on my G G grandfather William, son of Thomas. I have spent a fortune in birth certs for him, and now the GRO says...

Thanks you for that. I missed that he was not working!!! How do you read a notem in a census? I have seen these with other ancesters, but have not been able to work it out. Jean

Thank you smtr for all this information. Giblin has been transcribed with so many different spellings. I shall look at all the info, and if this is them in 1861, It will be useful to know where they originated from in Ireland. Thanks again Jean

Sorry, I don't, except he lived in belgrave street kings norton [1851] fish lane 1861. tennant street in 1871/1881

Could some tell me if Thomas Green was listed as a cordwainer - master shoemaker - shoemaker Birmingham. I have this as his occupation between 1851 -1891. Thank you Jean :)

Hi Alberta, I have finally managed to get the correct birth cert for Mary Ann Giblin, Sept 1861- mother is Ellen Cain - also looks as if she died in 1862!! So Thomas could be Hannah's child!! The address on the birth cert was 9 court, Loveday Street, Birmingham. Is there anyone who can place...
