    Hello,

    I could well be making an assumption - this is part of the information I got from someone else, but it more or less matched up with the info I gleaned from the marriage certificate -...

    Hello!

    I found a baptism record for Ann Hamlin Matthews, daughter of Abraham and Mary living in Farringdon Devon. The baptism was in 1820, so, assuming she was born around then.

    There's loads...

    Hello!

    the only "proof" I have about William Henry being born in Devon is what he wrote on his marriage certificate. I did receive his death certificate, and that had his place of birth as...

    William Henry Walker

    Hello!

    I am moderately ashamed to admit that I was today years old when I realised that Ann and John weren't married when Sidney was born! (Sidney is even *my* rellie!)

    Those pesky vicars, hey!

    In the 1841 census, the bloke I am assuming is my John Smith (38) lives with someone called Mary Smith aged 39 - could be his sister, I guess? I was assuming previous wife...

    Needles in a haystack

    Hello everyone - I'm after a spot of advice (or alternatively, a you're completely mad, that will never work. Either will suffice!)

    That is so cool, thank you!

    Based on the movement of street numbers, is it plausible that the Fountain Inn that was at 195 New John St West in the 1850s/1860s is in a similar area? Or is it likely...

    I found the probate stuff that had a definite date of death for him, which helped work out which one I...

    Oh my goodness... I just toddled off to GRO to perhaps order a death certificate for John Smith and crikey moses, the GRO has AGES! So, I have confirmed (ish) that my John Smith was 59 when he died...

    Random related question about street numbers... Do street numbers in Birmingham have 2 4 6 8 etc on one side of the road and 1 3 5 7 etc on the other? Or is it just 1 2 3 4 5?

    Thanks! I am pretty sure that's the right dead John Smith, as Ann had the Fountain Inn for a bit after he died. I might have to get the death certificate!? Assuming of course that 1859 death...
