Warwickshire / What parishes in birmingham in 1824?
« on: Tuesday 31 May 05 11:56 BST (UK) »
Hi All
I've run into a brickwall and don't know where to go from here.
My earliest ancestor is THOMAS GEORGE SYLVEN born Abt 1824 Birmingham.
The first Sylven entry in the BMD is his marriage in 1853 in surrey from this I have found his father is JAMES and is a victualer.
All the Census entries (1861, 1871, 1881) state his birthplace as birmingham.
My next thought is to find his birth in a church register but I have no idea which parishes would have been considered as part of Birmingham in 1824.
Does anyone know of a publication or web site which may contain a list of birmingham parishes?
Unfortunately living in Australia makes it a bit difficult to visit Birmingham and check out the local history centre
Regards
Howard Sylven

Warwickshire Lookup Requests / Birmingham Parish records - Sylven birth abt 1824
« on: Thursday 19 May 05 13:43 BST (UK) »
Hi Everyone
I have hit a brick wall and would appreciate any assistance.
My tree starts at THOMAS GEORGE SYLVEN born abt 1824 Birmingham.
The following info was sourced from his marriage cert in 1953
Location of marriage Mortlake, Richmond, Surrey
His occupation was mechanic
His father was JAMES
His fathers occupation was Licenced victualer
I have census records for Thomas George Sylven for 1871,1881,1891 and they all show him living around London but all say he was born in BIRMINGHAM
I have searched BMD indexes but can not find any SYLVEN's except for Thomas and his offspring.
I would dearly like to pop into Birmingham and check out parish registers for Thomas's birth and any indication of his origins but unfortunately the commute from Australia is a bit long
Any assistance getting past this brick wall would be greatly appreciated
Regards
Howard Sylven

Looking for :
Sylven, Moore, Cooper, Ball, Cowles, Eldridge

Hi all
I am Looking for Thomas George SYLVEN born abt 1824 Birmingham
He Married Emily Maria LAKER born 1832 at the parish church Mortlake on 21st Sept 1853
Thomas George Sylven's Father was James
Emily Maria Lacker's Parents were (I think!) John and Maria
In 1853 Thomas's occupation was mechanic and he was later a Gunmaker
Their first child was registered in Chelsea!
Any Help finding ANYTHING about these people would be greatly appreciated as I have a lot of info about this family from 1860 onwards but nothing before their wedding
Regards
