I am researching the Oldfield family of Birmingham. They moved to Birmingham in the 1800's. James and Hannah Oldfield were living in Canal St , James taught bootmaking at The Free Industrial School. My Gt Grandfather was one of their sons, his name was James John Westcott Oldfield, he was born in Birmingham and worked in the gun trade. His wife was Sarah Browning, she also came from a Birmingham family.
