Hi can anyone help me im looking for my nans baptism records her name is Regina Florence Bick born 1923, i presume she was baptised at St Martins as she was born in Deritend. Thanks Laraine

Thanks for that Shera it could be possible i know that surnames do change over the years or are spelt wrongly plus the death is in the same quarter so i might take the risk & order a certificate. Thanks for your help:)

Shera is there anywhere i could find the death records for Samuel Wallis who died in 1838, if he died in the workhouse ?

Shera thank you so much for finding all of this out, really grateful.:) I wonder why Samuel Jnrs records can't be found its really strange as he is on the 1841 census living in Stafford St & born in Birmingham. One thing you have cleared up for me is a while ago i sent for the marriage cert of...
