Hi Would anyone know why a woman in 1855 in Birmingham may choose to be baptised aged 61? this would give Ann a birth date of 1793. On the 1851 census she is married to a Thomas Wiggett and listed as blind. She married Thomas in 1840. On the 1861 there is a pauper by the name of A Wiggett aged...

Thank you all for your answers. This site is so useful, I would never have guessed about Malakoff Place or found it on a map. He did marry Ellen Cook later and Lucy died young.

Hi Would anyone know what this address is please? I don't know the first bit but think it is Wheeleys Lane? Best wishes Alison

Thanks for this, really appreciated.

That's a thought, thank you. On the 1881 census John is listed as a Grocer. So a Junk Shop could make sense with a Bricklayer labourer.

Hi Does anyone know if this Luck shop please?

Hi would anyone know where Clifford Buildings were in Birmingham on the 1871 census and where Great Brook Street would be please. Thanks

I have found a burial for Frank Charles Henry Wilkins in Witton Cemetery 1898 on FMP but no Civil Death Record. As you say. Only the one for a death in Conway. How confusing??

Thanks for that. Didn't know about Mary/Polly.

OMG!!! the plot thickens. Thanks for your detective work. Arthur Poolton listed above Polly Wilkins was a witness at her wedding to Frank. Where on earth does the name 'Polly' come from for the name Mary? I would never in a month of Sunday's found this information by myself. Not sure who you...

Yes I've gone back and deleted those errors out thank goodness. Thanks for the info on Mary Matilda. How strange about her parents. George also names one of his daughters Kate Mary Matilda. But Albert doesn't call one of his daughters Matilda.

I have confused the Mary Pricilla Waring who marries Frank Charles Henry Wilkins (my Frank) and becomes Mary Pricilla Wilkins with a Mary Pricilla Wilkins (nee Moseley) on the 1911 who is married to Frederick Charles Wilkins hence Burton on Trent. And there was me thinking 'Pricilla' was the...

If they are the same people that subsequently married this would make him the Frank Wilkins on 1911 census born in Burton on Trent married to Mary Pricilla Wilkins (nee Waring). WILKINS, GEORGE WILLIAM SHOEBOTTOM GRO Reference: 1871 D Quarter in BIRMINGHAM Volume 06D Page 161 WILKINS, FRANK...

I think that too. My Frank is Frank C Wilkins on 1881 census. Frank Wilkins and Mary Waring are witness to George William Wilkins marriage to Kate Woodford. George lists his father as George Wilkins Publican. Then there is a marriage between Frank Charles Henry Wilkins and Mary Pricilla...

I just find it all so confusing with this family. Not sure if they are brothers as on the 1911 census Frank says he was born in Burton on Trent!

George Wilkins is listed as a Publican then a Horsedealer. Can't seem to find him in Trade Directories. Very puzzling.

Thank you both so, so much. Really appreciate the effort you have both gone to over this. It really does help me prove I'm not going down a blind alley. :)

Really appreciate that information, thanks so much :)

Wow thanks that would explain a lot of things and also why I can't find Albert and his parents on 1901 census.

That is fantastic thank you. Sort of confirms what I thought but wasn't sure. Didn't know Frank was in the Army?
