possible
michael mainy wolverhampton birth 1861 june qtr volume 6b page 51 staffordshire
id presume parents couldnt read nor write
might be woth askin on staffordshire forum for help with births .
you need to get a couple of births useing parents first names as filters and dads profession miner .
this will hopefully give mothers full name and possible family as witnesses .
once you have johanna,s surname you can try determine did they marry in england or ireland .
goodluck
