Hi All :) could anyone point me in the right direction..I am trying to find out what happened to the graves at All Saints Church Hockley I went to the school (now something to do with young offenders) a few months ago and no one could help don't know where to start looking
Thanks Maggie
 
All Saints Hockely
Opened in 1803, on land given by Sir Thomas Gooch. The churchyard was closed, and laid out by the Overseers in 1891. Burials were continued in existing family grave until 1905. The churchyard was transferred to the Parks Committee in 1927.
I would suggest to get in touch with Birmingham Council Parks department they may be able to help
 
Thanks John :)will get in touch with them
P.S could you I.M me with where your Fox's came from
Thanks again :) Maggie

Hi Maggie

Did you ever find out anything more about the graves at All Saints Church, Hockley? It is possible I have ancestors buried there.

I would like to know more about the church generally as well, as my gt.grandparents married there is 1861. Are there any photos available anywhere?

Judy
 
Thank you Bo. I didn't realise it was on that site. It is good to see a photo of the church as I have never seen it before. I must have a good browse of the site later on :)

Hi there, I have been to the Library to-day and here is what i found;

Henry Jones, 22 year old bachelor, and an engraver of Park Road married Rosanna Silvester, 21 year old spinster, and a ? button maker also of Park Road, on the 8th April, 1867 at the All Saints church Hockley in Birmingham. Henry's Father was Henry Jones a Pearl Button maker. Rosanna's Father was Josiah Silvester, a Brass founder. Henry signed the register but Rosanna made her mark X. Witnesses were Walter James Cook, he signed the register, and Isabella Stone? She made her mark X

I do have a copy of the certificate which is a photo copy taken from a microfilm. If you IM me your e-mail address i'll send you a copy.

Regards

Steve
 
Steve what a kind thing for you to do these look ups. I know library time flies. Thanks for doing this for members!
 
Thanks so much for doing the look-up, it's much appreciated. Hope your own research at the library was useful. Will IM you today. Regards - Dragon
 
Shera has just been helping me on another topic “Benjamin Whitehouse trace back”. My last post mentioned All Saints Hockley St and:-

“Now I know the church I guess my next action is wait until I visit or return to B’ham and have a look at micro- fiche in Central Library (Taking it can still look). “

“Checked ICG and found Benjamin Whitehouse married Sarah Slater on 28 September 1973 at All Saints, Hockley St”

1) However anyone going that and can look up for me please

2) Hockley St, jog my memory where about it was please, any pictures?

Ray - I still live in hope I make B’ham or surrounds soon.
 
Hi Ray.

Regards

Steve

Hi there.
I managed to get to the Birmingham Reference Library to-day and found the following; Benjamin Whitehouse, a 20 year old bachelor and Siversmith, abode Lower Camden Street, married Sarah Slater, a 19 year old spinster and Bellows coverer (unsure about this), abode Carver Street, at All Saints church on the 28 September 1873. Benjamin's Father was Thomas Whitehouse a Builders Clark (unsure again). Sarah's Father was John Slater a Iron moulder. Both Benjamin and Sarah made their Mark as did the two witnesses, Lucy Slater and John Howard ? (unsure).
If you IM me with your e-mail address i'll send to you a copy of the marriage certificate.
Regards
Steve

Looks like to me that the FamilySearch file has been mis- transcribed (whoever transcribed it mixed up the win and the man and added win to both names).

Hope this helps :)
