Hi,
I am at a dead-end in my research and was wondering if anyone could help. I am researching the Birch side of my family history and have got as far back as my 4xg-grandad Joshua Birch (born approx 1819) and his older brother Enoch Birch (born 1802). They were both born in Reapsmoor, Fawfieldhead, Staffs - this information has come from census returns. I know Enoch moved to Hyde in Cheshire in the 1820's followed later by his younger brother. From marriage certificates I know their father was William Birch but I cannot find any records of their baptisms....if indeed there are any? Would be interesting to know their mother's name/if they had other siblings etc and get some new information for me to go on.
Any help much appreciated!.
