Hi
This is my first post so please forgive any mistakes i may make.I live in Middlesbrough and i am researching my wife's family tree and it seems that a lot of her ancestors came from around the Birmingham area.I have a lot of enquiries to ask about but i will start with this one;
I'm trying to locate the forebearers of one Thomas Fellows who i believe was born in Birmingham at around 1809 he married Hannah Blyth on the 10th february 1832 at St Phillip's Church in Birmingham but i'm having trouble finding out who his parents were.
If anyone can help or point me in the right direction i would be grateful
Thank you for taking the time to read this post
Best Wishes
Fred
 
its quite a common name but on the igi site there is a thomas "fellow" christened at st. philips in bham on 7 mar 1808 with parents of joseph and catherine. worth looking at anyway
 
i can see from the 1841 and 1851 census that your thomas fellows was a carpenter. in 1839 he is in wrightsons directory of bham listed as a carpenter living 113 1/2 coleshill street, bham
 
Hi
Many thanks Shera the 1808 one looks like a good lead to follow up i have the same Census returns for 1841 1851 but thanks for the wrightson's lead.I know civil registration did'nt happen until 1837 but is it possible to get certs befor 1837
Regards
Fred
