Hirons - Bromsgrove

[Jean48]

Hi,

I am trying to trace details about Thomas and Elizabeth Hirons (nee Ward). I have hit a brick wall as I cannot find a record of their marriage or any other family members.

Their eldest son was born in 1896 and their daughter Mary Ann was born in Bromsgrove in December 1901. They later moved to Pershore.

Is there anybody else researching Hirons?

Jean

Hello, Jean!

I have looked into your query today, but it's been rather frustrating as FreeBMD is being VERY slow - not unusual!

Do you have any more general info. on Thomas and Elizabeth?

I looked for Thomas and Elizabeth in the 1901 Census but could not readily identify a possible fit, as they do not show up in Bromsgrove under the spelling Hirons. Do you know what Thomas's occupation was?

In looking for the marriage have you checked variants spellings of the surname? Even at this relatively late date surnames were sometimes spelled rather idiosyncratically by clergy and registrars - and census enumerators!

Are you certain that the marriage took place in Bromsgrove?

Have you any idea where Thomas might have been born and how old he was?

Regards
