This is all very interesting & thank you once again for all your efforts on my behalf. I think John and Elizabeth you mention are definitely "mine" & the burial at Aston Juxta fits with the death certificate of Sarah Bertha. I have obtained the marriage certificate of Elizabeth Palser and...

Thank you for this. I haven't got to grips with the IGI thing yet. I believe you are right about the Palsers above. I do not think James & Sarah or Able and Martha are "mine" However, the John Edward and Sarah Elizabeth do fit with what I have found out. Sarah Elizabeth's dates seem to match...

Success! Today's post brought the marriage and death certificates for Sarah. These plus some trawling lead me to believe she was my Great Great Great Grandmother. However, I need to firm up the details to give this certainty and was wondering if you could look in the St Martin's records for me...

Hi, I just spoke to John Yates & he was lovely & very helpful. He suggested I trawl the BMD and then send him a list & he will check them out for me. I'll keep you posted! I have made more progress in the last 24 hours thanks to you than I have in a long time. You are a star!

Many thanks for all your help - you have been very generous with your time & effort. Will let you know if I succeed at all! The death of the mother would fit with the sampler & the census entries you mention are the ones I have. I'll try to find the Kings Norton marriage records and have a...

Had a quick look at death registers on line & found Sarah Porter death in quarter Oct - Dec 1845. Registration district is Birmingham. Had to do supper then so have not checked up to 1851 - she is on 1841 census but not 1851 (as Porter anyway). Will do more tomorrow when house is quiet again! R

No I haven't had any other names - I started with the name Sarah Bertha Porter on a sampler she embroidered when she was 12. From the sound of the wording something sad may have hit the family around that time & I'm wondering if it was the death of the mother & / or child(ren). Are the St...

You are amazingly kind! Where do you get at all these records? I have had a look at the Porter Leadbetter marriage but it is not the right one - that Sarah Porter is a widow & father's name is incorrect. I've been trawling the siblings to see if there is any connection there. Many of them seem...

Many thanks for this. Any ideas as to how I can search the church records for Sarah's marriage? I have inherited a piece of work she did and am trying to find out how she links to the family. Our family names in Birmingham are mainly Liney, Sandilands and Robinson.

Not sure how this works as I've only just joined! I'm trying to trace SARAH BERTHA PORTER who may be a relative. I've got the following details from Family Search and am trying to find how to look her up in the records for St Martin's Birmingham. Any help gratefully received! Birth 2 Nov 1825...
