The Common Room / Re: Dolphin - Fender Maker

Yes, I have all that. But it has to be remembered that it is Mary Ann DIPPLE who was NBIC Warks. It is possible John Dolphin's mother may have come from Yardley, anyway, it's only a few steps from Deritend to Yardley. My maternal grandparents were married at Yardley St. Edburgha in 1921.

I don't think there is any more I can do by just looking. My main hope must now come from DNA - there are a couple with Dolphin and Dipple but only 1 that isn't a stem of John and MAry Ann Dipple - and 1 with John Dolphin Worcs and John Dolphin Warks mixed up!

Anyway, thank you for the interest you have shown and your contribution. I think I'll give Dolphin-Dipple a rest for a little while. Good Luck with your on researches.

Are you researching Dolphin? I eventually found them after I read John Dolphin's Death Cert and saw that the informant was Mathilda, who I presumed to be his DAU. I then had to look through Matilda with no surname in  1841 Brum and, of course, as soon as I spotted the transcription Dolphir, I knew I had found them.

This is one of the issues I have - what sort of Fender? Brass, Timber or Boat? I am in Birmingham so am familiar with the area.Where did you get Floodgate Street from?

Thank you to those who responded to my query. I do already have that John bap 1810 Deritend, (image of the Baptism is on Ancestry). I think I will go with him.

The Common Room / Dolphin - Fender Maker

Has anyone come across a DOLPHIN with occupation Fender Maker? I have John Dolphin, fender Maker  born about 1811 (died 1848 aged 37, married 1828, b 1811 per 1841 census) and no idea where he may have come from. On the offchance that he may have followed in his father's footsteps, i would love to hear of any other Dolphin fender makers. Per 1841, he said he was born in Warwickshire whereas his wife MAry Ann Dipple said she was not. Many Thanks.

Warwickshire / Re: Clayton Family living around the Warwickshire area (maybe travelers)

Hi,
I am also in the same position, although only for the last few days. I have never seen so many tinkers with so many different birthplaces or who don't know where their children were born! I started off trying to find out who was Sarah Ann Clayton, the second wife of Henry Clayton in Wootton Wawen, Warwickshire. She would be my STEP Gt. Grandmother. I know she was a cousin, or that is what my grandfather told me. Since then, I am surrounded by tinkers and itinerants, not to mention those living on The Black Patch in Handsworth - a place I had never heard of and I live in Birmingham. What a nightmare. Are you on Ancestry?
