Can anyone look at Baptism's for St Martins,for William and Mary Ann Garfield Children born between 1836 /1841, I think there maybe four or five of them as the family lived in Broad Steet.

hi

there is a death of julia garfield 1841 apr-jun kings norton 18 296 which is most likely your julia

cant find edward garfield but there is a death of alfred edward garfield
in bham 1847 oct-dec 16 351 which is just a possibility.

Oh I hate to find out that they died so young but realise it happened in those times,I wonder when the census was taken as she died in 1841,at least I know what happened to her It didn't occur to me to look at the deaths.

there are so many deaths of little children.very sad.

the 1841 census was taken on the night of 6th june 1841 so must have been the latter part of the quarter.
