Weaver Family - can you help?

Joanna

master brummie
I'm on a bit of a wild goose chase but need to follow this up. I'm struggling to find this Weaver on the 1871, 1881, 1891, 1901. I am really struggling with this!

Basically I want to trace back from the 1911 Census

William Weaver Born 1870 in Birmingham, living at Great Russell Street. He was married to Amy (I think, bad handwriting) who was also 41 and their children were Alfred (16) William (15) Lily (13) Dora (10) and Hearld??! (6m).

I'm not getting very far locating them further back, am particularly interested in finding William Weaver before his marriage. I haven't yet searched the daughters so will try that now.

If anyone can help me I would be extremely grateful.

Thank you

Hi there,I think the 6 month old is Harold? If so,this could be his birth:
Births Dec 1910
WEAVER Harold S Birmingham vol 6d page 115
Having had a quick look in the earlier census,I think the surname has probably been mistranscribed.
Do you have their marriage cert?

Thanks for all the help! I haven't looked at everything yet but someone on another forum informed me that the Harold was the only Weaver, the others were Carrier apparently!
