The houses were demolished in the early 1970s to make way for the Aston Expressway. William.

You could try putting a paper collar around her neck asking if she belongs to anyone and possibly adding your name and telephone number. William.

There is a website called Birminghamburialrecords.co.uk where I found the information re the burial, and I think it now costs £20 to view the burial record. You can do this online. However there is a FB group called Birmingham Ancestors Family History, England and if you join that group I...

There is an Alfred Albut buried at Yardley Cemetery December 1916. William.

Denville Crescent is Birmingham B9 (Bordesley Green area), as is Alston Road School. William.

Yes thank you, a possibility. I have been doing my homework/research on that particular family. Though nothing definitive at the moment. William.

Just to update those that were following my post. I have today received the marriage certificate for Sarah Jennings and John Hady(Kady/Adey). April 10 1842 Sarah Jennings - Minor - spinster. Residence at the time of marriage - Handsworth. Father - Thomas Jennings - Caster. So unfortunately...

Yes Lyn there is that option with both GRO and Birmingham but I am in no hurry. William.

Thank you Lyn. Apparently GRO and Birmingham Registry both charge £11 for certificates but whilst there is quite a long backlog (several weeks wait in fact) from Birmingham, GRO will send out after 4 days. Will you keep you updated. William.

Thank you Lyn. It is quite some time since I have ordered certificates from anywhere other than the GRO (hence my last question) as more recently I request birth and death documentation in PDF format which is somewhat cheaper, but unfortunately that is not an option with GRO for marriage...

Thank you for that information. I will look into those possibilities and also send for the marriage certificate for St Marys, Handsworth. Sorry but I have another question, does anyone know would I need to order the certificate from Birmingham or elsewhere and previously Handsworth was not...

No I dont know for sure the name of Sarahs father. I initially thought her parents were James and Ester (as per 1841 census). Then when when I found the marriage for St Marys, 1842 it gives fathers name as Thomas - occupation Caster. I suggested this to someone I am connected to by DNA but...

Alberta I have just checked that marriage on Ancestry and the parish record shows she married James Wood. Thank you for looking. William.

Thank you Alberta I have the death for Jane in Manchester, but not the marriage in 1859. I will look into that. There are quite a few member trees on Ancestry with Sarah being the mother of the said children, and also member trees showing Jane as their Mother (which is actually incorrect for...

Yes Janice I think the marriage record refers to John Adey - his occupation, name of father fit in as does the name of his bride. The other mystery is who is Jane on the 1851 census - I did wonder if Sarahs middle name was Jane, and that was the name she was known by but as Sarah died in 1858 -...

Thank you for your help. This is quite complicated so I hope you will bear with me. I am researching the Adey family - in particular John Adey (Glass cutter) born c 1822 and his wife Sarah Jennings/Jennens. Children - James (born 1843), Harriet (born 1845 died 1846), Eliza born 1846), Maria...

Would any members know if the registers for marriages (1842) are available to view on line. I have found a marriage on FreeReg - 1842 St Marys Parish, Handsworth - John Kady (Glass cutter) to Sarah Jennings, but I am looking for their addresses at the time of marriage. Any help would be kindly...

It is worth bearing in mind that "sometimes" the information on a marriage certificate may actually be untrue. I have marriage certificates for some of my ancestors whereby ages of one or both parties are incorrect, also name of father (when they are actually illegitimate (and father unknown)...

I have found the same in my family tree with some of my ancestors from the same family. However in the margin of the register for the first baptism is written the letter "P" which I understand refers to a private baptism. William.

My older sister who is 73 had her first vaccine in January and was really quite poorly afterwards and spent 2 days in bed due to the side effects and is dreading her 2nd vaccine (booked for the 9th April. I had my first vaccine at the end of January (no side effects whatsoever) and had my 2nd...
