Oh damm check check check I had a fair bet marriage on 1804 lanymynech, shropshire, england - back to the drawing board then. So either wrong Jane birth or wrong Jane Davis on mar or wrong father stated - or who knows ;)

Thanks both. On Thomas, I learn if it doesn't look right check, check and check again. On Jane b1818, years back I gave family history to help someone. From that person: Handsworth, parents Samuel and Jane. It seems there is a joint baptism, could someone with a bigger screen than mobile...

Just picked up your post Sospiri .Thanks will read and digest.

It seems not just distance in miles but age. 1851C Heny Lloyd 48 has a brother 20. At some point just for interest I'll endeavour to see how many children his parents had.

Thanks. No I hadn't considered that, the perils of setting boundaries (St Phillips etc) in your head. Its certainly a possibility. Also found on 1851C was William 1785 and Eliza abt 1801 from Pedmarth Essex. There is an Elizabeth Richards 1802 Colchester, a Pedmarsh is close by. Whilst I'm not...

Thanks all. Henry Lloyd 1803 Jane Lloyd abt 1817. Left Henry for awhile as no trace after 1851 - most likely died. So concentrated on Jane. Jane Lloyd nee Jane Davis remarried to Thomas Dutton 28/12/1858. Jane Davis b 2/1/1818 St Phillip Parents William Davis Elizabeth Ann Wiliam Elizabeth...

Its appreciated the further back one goes its perhaps more of a best guess on selecting an ancestor. For me from a social history interest perspective there might not be much of a difference in lifestyles. However is a parish/church a good guide in selecting an ancestor? One branch 1800's and...

Thank you for the reassurance on Thomas & Phoebe and her background. Have the marriage date and note baptism date of Rueben Charkes 7 June 1840 As regards Lowe I only came across a Freereg listing for Phebe: Baptism 24/09/1820, parents Wiliam & Sarah Lowe abode Tipton Dudley Worcs so took that...

Hi, I'm aware some message boards have chosen Thomas & Ann as parents of Benjamin Whitehouse 1853. However from health forum I'm very much aware over the years of the tendency for a cluster of belief based on following rather than own research. Hence my caution. From censuses (Whitehouse)...

Thomas circa 1834 Birminham. Thanks of course his wife'sister. I blame the heat -:) I'm intruiged, in that time two sisters marry into same family. As Brophy parents were from Ireland Michael and Mary Ann one wonders if the Lloyd family were also Irish. Thanks

1861 census shows Thomas Brophy, his family, sister Catherine and sister in-law Emilia (Emily) Lloyd. Wiliam (brother to Thomas and Catherine) not recorded.However 1863 gives a marriage to William Brophy. So why say sister in law on census? Thanks

Yes thanks I had forgotten the round up. This morning search on 1861 C brings up Thomas with among others sister Catherine (although hard to read on mobile age seems wrong), however it show sister in law Emily Lloyd of the right age to be wife of William? Just checked print version it reads...

Thanks. I have Emily Lloyd as William spouse and a Jones, will have to check my notes on where from. I've just taken it they would have married in Ireland then came to UK but that of course may not be so. The marriage in Handsworth would make Mary 17 at the time which is possible but would...

Looking again at brick walls. Trying to tie in parents Brophy (spelt different ways on later Censuses, with children on 1841 census. Connecting William with parents is the main objective. Once established it might give some confidence in tracing parents in Ireland, probably Kilkenny area...

Found I could check on mobile ( hard to read) although accident seems right age and middle name we have been given are wrong? Unsure what to think about that as the person would know. The reporter? Thanks

Thanks

1st July 1966 ( not 1956) fatal accident Lorry V Bike Coventry Rd Monica Road so I take it Birmingham mail. Thank you

Thanks. But I'm told as its public it might upset other people if they can read posts.

Thanks . Not on ancestry so will check B"ham llibrary out.

1956 so not quite history. However can you micro finch a newspaper story from then and print it out?
