Could anyone help me please or give me some idea on how to find a birth or just the volume & page numbers, on someone born in Birmingham in 1834.
Thanks
Mike
I went on Family Search & found it very useful, i actually found the sister of who i was looking for so thanks for the link.
Shera, the person i am looking for is Samuel Wallace(or even Wallis), i found his sister's birth & baptism records for St Martins so its possible he was christened there too. Born around 1834, his parents are Samuel & Sarah.
It would be great if you could find something.
Thanks alot
Laraine
sorry laraine i cant find anything for samuel wallace/wallis. what was sisters name and baptism date. there may be some info on the record i can tell you
Shera thank you so much for finding all of this out, really grateful. I wonder why Samuel Jnrs records can't be found its really strange as he is on the 1841 census living in Stafford St & born in Birmingham. One thing you have cleared up for me is a while ago i sent for the marriage cert of Samuel Jnr which named his father correctly as Samuel & his occupation as a LAWYER or so i thought....until i seen SAWYER on your post...here was me thinking that there was brains in the family
Thanks again
i did exactly the same as you laraine when i first started family history. there was me bragging to everyone that i had a "lawyer" in the family, but eventually the penny dropped and i realised it was a sawyer. bit of a come down
ive looked at the record again just to check and it is correct that he was buried 10th march 1838 and abode was workhouse, but i cant find a death certificate.
sorry i have no idea if there are records from the workhouse.
Thanks for that Shera it could be possible i know that surnames do change over the years or are spelt wrongly plus the death is in the same quarter so i might take the risk & order a certificate. Thanks for your help
i do matthew. just depends what year you need. let me know the names and rough date of marriage and i will have a look. nothing much in 20th century though
Hi Shera,
Well I have a date, 13 Jan 1833 Taylor to Wakefield. I need to know more details on them to confirm a match
such as witnesses, places of birth, parents. Do you know how to find these?
Many Thankyous, Matthew.
on the records before 1837 there was very little information but i will give you what there is
jacob taylor of this parish bachelor and ann wakefield of this parish spinster married by banns on 13th jan 1833 at st. martins
they signed with a cross
the witnesses were william wakefield and ann hodgkins. i hope this helps with your research
Hi
I know this was posted along time ago but I have only just joined and I think I can add to this family. My g-grandmother was Hannah(Annie) Wallace born 1859 who stated on her marriage to Christopher Blaney that she was the daughter of Samuel Wallace sawyer. She was the daughter of Samuel and Hannah I presumed but on her birth certifcate she has her mother as Hannah formally Tynes and Joseph as her father but that was her brother Joseph Tynes. It is all confusing.
