Title: Hannah/Martha Tickle Burial 1830 Birmingham - Completed
Post by: tanyal on Sunday 08 April 12 08:20 BST (UK)

I have been trying to find the burial of my ancestor Martha Tickle for some years. Research from a cousin gave her a death date of 21 September 1830 and a place of death of Norfolk Street, Birmingham

Today I decided to recheck FindmyPast and I found a burial for a Hannah Tickell, buried 21 September 1830 aged 39, St Mary Whittal Street, the same place members of Martha's family were buried. The age is also consistent. I haven't been able to find any evidence of a Hannah Tickle that age in Birmingham at that time (all the Tickles of that time are relatives). The problem is the first name.

I'd be most grateful if someone, whilst visiting Birmingham Archives, could check the original register entry for me.

Ah, thanks. :)

So, either the wrong person or they put the wrong first name down: Martha's youngest daughter (then only three) was called Hannah. No way of telling. :(
