Re: John Boswell married Elizabeth Hunt at St Martins Birmingham think about 1857

Was minor a miner as in down the pit. Cheapside is where please ?
How can I get access to this info please.
Thank you so much for your prompt response and help. I am trying to do Genealogy from afar so difficult.
Cheekily I am also trying to find My Gt Gf ather Enos Waite can pick him up on the 1901 census but can't find him on the 1911 census. My grandmother was born after the census in June 1911,Ellen Waite at 37 Francis Rd Hay Mill Yardley Rd Solihull,this was on her birth certifcate that I sent off for. I am desperate to find other members of the family, as this breaks the link.
 
Re: John Boswell married Elizabeth Hunt at St Martins Birmingham think about 1857

minor on the marriage certificate means that they were under age and would need their fathers consent. i think it was 18yrs at that time so they were prob about 16 or 17. cheapside is near the centre of birmingham, if you google it you could get a map of the area. can you fill me in with the details you have of the 1901 census so i know names, ages and where born etc

Living at 7 Speedwell Rd Westley Terrace Yardley Worc Hay Mill Warwickshire Enos plus Caroline with Arthur says boarder 3 monthsb. Hay Mill. Also william Kitely aged 50 b. Brackley Northamptonshire, Caroline's Father, and a child James aged 4 born Sherrington Bucks, not sure if they are Caroline's, talk in the family was she had an illegitimate child whilst in service, so not sure, any way of confirming this.
There was also a 2 yr old William Kitely born at Hay mill
Thank you so much you can't believe how many hours I have searched for him and money spent it was a recommendation from the War Forum searching military history.I am so desperately trying to complete this for my mother as she has parkinsons and can't remember very many things. Boswell was her Father and Waite her mother.
