Thank you Shera....I think I have traced this Joseph Bough through to 1891...but his spelling of the surname stays as BOUGH on every census. On the IGI there is a baptism for a Joseph Bough @ St Martin's 16/09/1822 but birth is given as 1811, parents Thomas & Mary Bough...so not really likely...

Hello, I wonder if someone would be kind enough to try & find a burial for JOSEPH BROUGH, Parents William & Ann Brough, JOSEPH was born in 1813, & I am assuming that he died as he does not appear on the 1841 census. Many thanks, Margaret.

Thank you so much for that very helpful info..I will certainly be making that call ! Luckily we get into B'ham by train so parking is not a problem. I do have a CARN ticket so once again that is not a problem & the advice about digital photos is a great help. Many thanks for your help. Margaret.

Hello Nick, can I ask how you went about seeing these registers at St Chad's?? I ask because I have baptisms at St Chad's itself that I would love to see....I did send an email many months ago to the secretary there but have never received a reply back, so I have been left in limbo not knowing...

Thank you both for your help. I doubt that my relations were rich enough to have a family vault...but that does bring up another question...would there have been paupers graves at St Martin's? certainly my relatives had all their children baptised at St Martin's as it was their local church...

Hello folks, I have relatives who were buried at St Martin's in 1834 & 1847. I know that the St Martin's church where these burials took place was demolished & the church that is now standing replaced it. My question relates to exactly WHAT happened to the old graves??? Would the occupants of...

Hello Shera, I just wanted to tell you that I have followed up on the info you gave me about the 1847 burial of William Brough aged 75, & have now got his death cert & it is indeed MY William Brough, who was a tailor by trade. The informant was his granddaughter Mary Farmer so it has all tied in...

Hello Shera, I do have the info from the 1793 marriage of Ann & William. The Sarah & William Brough in Thorp St may be the son & daughter in law of William & Ann. I cannot tell you how excited I am about the 2 burials that you have found....the one for Ann sounds correct, but it is the 75 year...

That is brilliant news !!!! Thank you SO MUCH..I have long believed that the Mary Brough I have been researching was indeed a member of my Brough family & with your invaluable help I can now include Mary & her family on my tree. I cannot express how very much I appreciate the time & trouble you...

Thank you for looking...you deserve a STAR for the great early link to Thorp Street.....!!!! Best regards & thanks again, Margaret.

Thank you Shera, you have helped me in the past with my mysterious Mary Brough. The 1811 Ann Brough is my GtGtG/M & she lived in Thorp Street for most of her 80 odd years...so you finding that her family were also in Thorp Street in 1814 is great info for me. I wonder if you would mind looking...

I have asked for help with this Brough baptism before but it did not appear to be there, but I am now more sure than ever that this girl.. MARY BROUGH c 1811..is related to my BROUGH tree. She is MARY on her marriage cert in 1831 & on all the census's after her marriage, she was born in B'ham...

Thank you Mike, sorry if this was a wild goose chase for you, as you say it was probably a small business venture.....I do like the idea of a bird cage maker though ! My thanks again. Margaret.

I have found the following on the 1901 - 1911 census & wonder where exactly he was making the metallic bird cages ( he is said to be an employer) 1901 10 Whitmore Road Small Heath WILLIAM JOHN HUMPRIES & family 1911 263 Herbert Road Small Heath WILLIAM JOHN HUMPHRIES & family Many...

Does anyone know when the "white panel" covering disabilities is going to removed from the 1911 census????? Margaret.

I did pay to download the document today & it makes very interesting reading. It gives the ships that Edward served on & the dates he was on them, his character was said to be VG, sadly he was invalided out of the Navy when he was 21 in 1900...so now I have the pleasure of tracing the ships he...

That sounds interesting Ray, my chappie probably enlisted c1895 so I wonder if they would have his records as it was so early? You did well to get so much info on you f/i/l..well done. Margaret.

hello folks, I wonder if anyone on the site has applied for Royal Navy Records from TNA? I have found a likely match for Edward Ward b 1880 in Birmingham. According to the 1901 census he is said to be an ableseaman in the Royal Navy, although he is visiting relatives in B'ham. Now can anyone...

Thank you Wendy & Brian...so poor little Kate was in a public grave....I would not be surprised if the Brough grave is a family one, but as yet I have never visited Warstone to do any research. Thank you both yet again. Margaret.

Hello Wendy, I wonder if you would be kind enough to look for the following 2 burials please ? KATE HALE 1915 ( infant) Reg No 80506 at Warstone Lane. ANN ELIZABETH GARDNER BROUGH 1946 Reg No 98326 Warstone. Many Thanks, Margaret.
