Re: William C Hands
Hi Shera, true brummie, I am new to this forum, just joined, and would very much appreciate any help, in finding out the birth date of my great grandfather, Joseph Hands, born Birmingham. Because of different ages given in census returns, I'm not sure of his birth year. Please could you help?
When he marries Caroline Manning in Oct 1890, in Shoreditch, London, his age is 22, is born in Birmingham, father is William Hands, a jeweller.
1901 census, living 4 Cavendish St, Shoreditch, with wife Caroline, his age is 30, is born Birmingham.
1911 census, living 95 Daubeney Rd, Clapton Park, Hackney, London, his age is 41, is born Birmingham.
When dies in 1934, Hackney, London, his age is 64.
1871 census, living 23 New John Street, Birmingham, William Hands, head, age 32, a jeweller, wife Sarah Hands, age 32, William, son, age 11, Albert, age 6 and JOSEPH HANDS, age 4.
Could this be my gt grandfather?? He would be born about 1867/68, not sure. I want to apply for his birth cert, but how will I know if I have the correct Joseph Hands??
Any help or advice would be very much appreciated. Many thanks.
