Missed him totally.

A quick look and it appears that Noel and Edna had no children and that Edna was born in Plumstead, Kent and was an only child. Noel was born in Wylde Green and had a brother and 3 sisters. Two of his sister don't seem to have married and the other but had no children. They are all living with...

Ancestors or descendants? Elder Charles son of John Wigley and Harriet Porter? Two of his brothers - John and Richard - appear to have had children so hopefully there will be some descendants out there.

It does seem that even from the limited evidence available that Hannah's father appeared to have a few different jobs before finally settling down as a chemical labourer. On the 1851 census he appears to be listed as Pearl Button (?) Maker and on the 1841 there is a William Smith of the right...

Thanks. 104 George St is still there then...

Is it George Road Lyn or George Street?

Statues to return soon... https://www.paradisebirmingham.co.uk/2026/07/03/a-welcome-return-to-paradise/?_gl=1*rl2ot2*_up*MQ..*_ga*MTk3ODAzNzQ1OS4xNzgzNDI1ODIw*_ga_KYWWQ4KPWZ*czE3ODM0MjU4MTkkbzEkZzEkdDE3ODM0MjU4NDMkajM2JGwwJGgw

And looking at it it just doesn't say Birmingham, it says Borsley, Birmingham which has to be Bordesley. And Adderley Street, listed on Hannah's baptism, is in Bordesley.

The biggest sticking point is Hannah's birthplace and the question is was she really born in Kenilworth? There is only one birth reg. for a Hannah Smith in the Warwick district (inc. Kenilworth) in the right time frame and we know it wasn't her, though not all births were registered. The only...

On the 1861 census, as mentioned, Alfred Cantrill was in Bham listed as a Draper's Porter on High St. There is a Hannah Smith of the correct age listed as a Housemaid of Emily Bartlett, an Eating House Keeper on Union Street. Assuming it is the right Hannah it would be nice to think that one...

There's now nothing in that marriage that makes is impossible to be relevant. Witnesses are Ann's brother and sister in law. His birthplace in 1851 is listed as Walsall, close enough to Ann Smith. I'd say that says Haseley rather than Fazeley for William.

She wouldn't have been Hannah's mother. William was possibly married 3 times, he is listed as widowed when he married Ann.

In 1851 I think Hannah is listed as Hanah with William and Ann (Bradburn) in Aston. This time William is listed as a Pearl Maker and his birthplace (as previously mentioned) is listed/transcribed as Fazeley, Warwickshire. Could easily be a mishearing of Haseley by the census taker.

I think the William Smith who married Ann Bradburn and the William Smith that married Esther Oliver are the same person. In 1861 (as shown) William is listed as a Sawyer but in 1871 and 1891 he is listed as a Chemical Labourer. And it seems a little more likely that he is the father of the...

Possible cousins... Leslie - 4 sons and 2 daughters Florence - a son and a daughter Olive - possibly 3 sons Doreen - 2 sons John - a son and 4 daughters Josie - 2 sons and 3 daughters Alfred - 3 sons and 3 daughters

Dorothy's mother died in 1900 and her father re-married later the same year.

It appears that... John Onions was born 1885 in Oldbury, son of John Onions and Emily Bridge. Marriage to Harriet Rosalie (Rose) Homeshaw was reg. Mar qtr 1907. They had more children than I suggested - Leslie Eugene (1908), Horace Raymond (1909), Doris Hilda (1911), Raymond Horace (1912)...

It appears that Jackie is no longer a member so probably won't see your post. It does appear that you are cousins. John and Dorothy appear to have had 6 children (3 before they were married). John appears to have been married before and had 4 children. In 1921 Dorothy is living with her...

Thank you. Double hiccup.

Can you see the marriage for William Smith and Ann Bradburn (1849)?
