    One more son of Walter George Ison. John Albert Ison born in Kidderminster and immigrated with his parents. He carried on his father's successful coachworks in Brisbane and lived to 96! I have a GRO registration about Sep 1880 [uncertain] in Kidderminster. Looking for a baptism from the...

    Going in the opposite direction. We started with Walter George Ison, then his father Amos, now Walter's son William Homer was born in Kidderminster and immigrated with his parents to Brisbane. I have an unsubstantiated birth for William Homer of 2 Apr 1879 in Kidderminster, Worcestershire. I...

    Had good results with Reuben Rowley and wife Hannah Warren. Have her baptism and death but it is only the quarter (Died about Jun 1885 [uncertain] at about age 67 in Kidderminster). Any burial record at hand? Do all these nearby ancestors make me an honorary brummie.

    Coupled with Amos Ison, is wife Annie Rowley. I have Born Mar 1856 in Stourbridge, Worcestershire, from the GRO. Does anyone have access to a baptism that could provide a more accurate date and parents? I have her parents as Reuben Rowley (Born 23 Nov 1816 in Stourport, Worcestershire) and...

    Sorry. Not sticking to the facts. He is deceased by 1881 as Sarah is a widow. Oh he is elusive.

    Are we then happy with William Ison death in 1887, (age 63) Jul-Aug-Sep quarter of 1887 in the Birmingham district? I expect someone will have access to the burial register. Or are there still questions?

    I get the Mary becomes Polly. Very good. Had no idea. When you say you can't find a birth for Emily, do you mean Harriet? Is there a birth record for either Harriet or Emily? Harriet appears in the 1851 and 1861 census. Harriet seems real born about 1847. So Emily is Harriet?

    I am looking at the 1881 digital census and Sarah Ison with the right age and birthplace and living in the area seems our Sarah. But I am now confused about the 2 daughters living with her. There has been no Emily till now. The Emily here would have a birth date of c 1847. That is when daughter...

    I see the William Ison death in Sep qtr 1887 in Birmingham in FreeBMD. Interestingly, it does not show in the GRO Index. GRO shows a William in the Dec qtr in Tynemouth. There is just the issue of the 1881 census.

    Amazing work folks. And so fast and thorough. The William Amos on two son's marriage certificates is telling. I would like to see the newspaper pieces that have him as a brewer in Kidderminster. The death of 1887 with a circa birth of 1824 Birmingham looked very likely but as you say, Sarah is a...

    OK. I have some census now too thanks to the Brummies. Haven't had a chance to look yet. Leaving that for tomorrow. 11.30pm here. Enough for today. Get those cakes. So 'Brummie' comes from Brummagem, a name for the city used by locals since the 1700s.

    Thanks, I can see it now but could not have worked that one out. I have Sarah's baptism at the Wesleyan Chapel, Kidderminster. Of course she was not born in the church. https://www.freereg.org.uk/search_records/605fe55df493fd7b7427a61e I recorded her birth as Kidderminster.

    Very good. Can you tell me the residence names?

    That you for the clarification. I haven't begun to pursue the Amos siblings. More interested at the moment in extending the direct line.
