Re: Evelyn Daisy Walters Wow, I'm very impressed, I looked at the 1911 but only by the summery books but couldn't find anything (think it's only listed by the head of household) and the birth record is the one that I have sent off for. It certainly seems to fit in nicely with the info I have...

Would love any info on the above or his parents Alfred and Harriett please, have tried to find records to no avail. Many thanks Maria

Looking for parents or siblings of the above, she was born June 1905 I belive and lost both parents at age 8 so names not known as she was raised in a children's home. Have found her birth records I belive and have sent off in hopes that they will be listed but just wondering if anyone else has...

Hello Shera Thank you so much for that, I think that my John may have worked at Snow hill or Moor Street, unfortunatley Benjamin doesn't ring any bells but John did I believe have a son Thomas, but his date of birth would have been earlier, however this Thomas may have been a desendent of his...

My G G Grandfather was a railway Guard in Birmingham in 1857, any idea how I can find out any more about him, perhaps which station he may have worked at and do you think they may still have any records of staff at this time. Are there any historical Societies I can contact perhaps? I think his...

Hi I am reserching Tonks line too, I have two Charles Tonks, one is B. 1887 but died in France at Flanders other is b.1867 son of Fredrick and Harriet Tonks, I don't have details of any children for him but his great Grandfather was John and Grandmother Sarah Tonks. Don't know if of any help...

John was born Aprox 1826 and married to Elizabeth, their daughter Sarah was my g.g.grandmother and I would love to find out anything about him. He was a Railway Guard on her Birth cert but I can't find one for him or find him on the 1871 1891 or 1901 census. One census shows him living off an...

Re: Harry Short Thank you so much for all that, how come I couldn't find it? However now I am a bit dubious as to if the 1871 census got it wrong and is Harry the Henry Short mentioned as the age fits, it could mean stepson not Son in Law. However it could be that Clara Short is the mystery...

Harry was born in 1853 and was we believe married to the daughter of Francis and Emma English. He was a rule maker and also worked in the Gun trade in Duddeston. He was I believe my Great Grandfather although he never married my Great Grandmother they lived together for twenty Eight years and...

[Hi Steve, are you the same Steve I contacted via Ancestory.com who may be related to me through John Tonks her G. Grandfather? If so I sent you an email the other day to say I have now received my Nan's Birth Cert and Sarah is definitley her mother, but Harry is not down as the father...

I think you are very clever Mike, Looks like they are all working class trades and could fit with Sarah being a seamstress for the tailor rather than servant too. I love the map and have linked it to my fledgling family tree the houses look very small only three rooms for eight of them. I have...

That would be wonderful thank you it is the 1901 census Head of household is Harry Short and she is listed below as Sarah Tonks Children following it is schedule 188 and I am not very good at working out the writing so only can make a guess at the street name having richards in it. If you are...

How fantastic Mikejee I didn't know that there was such a website, how wonderful to see where she worked. I have just been reading that it 1701 a lot of the child employees were listed as servants due to the education act so maybe she was an apprentice tailor to him, if it's not such a grand...
