Muddyman family

K

ktee47

proper brummie kid
am trying to find out if my great great ,great grandparents
who originated from Aston.Small Heath worked in the Jewellery Quarter around the 1800's as I have been led to believe.
I am also trying to determine if the Muddyman name has Jewish connotations.
I realise there were probably quite a lot of people working there at the time but I am trying to ascertain if my Muddyman family were one of them. All I have are there names and a rough time frame
my great,great grandmother was Hannah Muddyman (nee) Lawrence
my great,great grandfather was Charles Henry Muddyman. my great grandfather was Thomas Valentine Muddyman B:1876Thank you
f
my great grandfather
 
unless you have already done so you could try finding them on the census papers which will at least give you their occupations

I pretty sure I have come across a branch of the Muddyman family - if memory serves me right, though I now have senior moments, it is around the Adderley Street area and the Wag[g]on and Horses. I will have to dig through my research notes.
 
Doesn't look like it. William Muddyman...

1841 Lower Trinity St - Iron Founder Journeyman

1851 Liverpool St - Proprietor of Houses

1861 Mount Pleasant - Turner

Charles Henry Muddyman...

1871 Deritend - Fruiterer

1881 Cooksey Road - Nail Caster

1891 Green Lane - Labourer in Iron Foundry

Though re-reading your message I'm not sure if this is what you were asking for. Pre 1841 you'd have to find baptisms and marriages.

He is also listed there in the 1839 Wrightson's and 1845 PO directories
 
Ktee47,

According to the web, MUDDYMAN / MUDDIMAN originates in Lincolnshire in Anglo Saxon times. I worked for a business owned by an Orthodox Jewish family for five years and have never come across that name in Jewish circles.

The earliest newspaper reference in the British Library Online Archives in the Birmingham area was this in the Birmingham Journal dated 17 April 1831. As member MWS has mentioned in post #4, occupations are quite often listed in the Birth and Marriage entries of Parish Registers.

Muddyman do not appear in Wrightsons Birmingham directories at or before 1833, but by 1839 there is the brewer in Adderley St and George , the fruiterer in Deritend. These did not, however include Aston

He did a bit of brewing. I have him at the W&H with an early date of 1836 which I must have picked up from a rate book when they were on open shelves [those were the days]. He died in 1848.

There was a Muddymans greengrocers shop on the corner of Longbridge Road & Balsall Heath Rd, this was in the 50/60s. I think somewhere on here a photo was posted.
