I have just discovered this thread and it has answered a question. I have been researching my Field family who came mainly from Tanworth in Arden - or that's what I thought. I had a mystery as my 9 x great grandfather was Poole Field, son of John Field and Frances Poole. We had a death date for him in Tanworth but no baptism, despite the parish records being available as both scanned images and transcription.
A week or so ago an Ancestry hint popped up which solved the mystery - he was baptised in Kings Norton on 16 January 1628-9, along with his twin Edward. I then tried to find the rest of the family, which was challenging as there are so many John Fields in the parish. Luckily Poole's baptism entry describes his father as John Field, gentleman and I then found daughters Frances in 1626 and Mary in 1627, followed by Anne in 1631 'daughter of Mr John Field'. Then came two more births, John in 1633 and Frances in 1636, father 'Mr John Field of The Hole, Kings Norton'.
The family then moved to Tanworth where two more children were born.
This thread has told me where 'The Hole' was and I am so grateful! What is even more remarkable is that I visited the house in 1995 on a Vernacular Architecture Group conference! That was long before I had started researching my family history so I had absolutely no idea I was in my ancestral home. I wonder if the care home would let me visit it again? (Post-virus of course!)
I really am thrilled to have discovered all this. Thank you so much. Linda Hall
