Hi Dudley.  I was interested to see that you are searching holy trinity RC church  baptismal records (At Bilston or St Chads Bham?)  I was born in Oxford st near the church in 1935, now retired in Anglesey. Have been trying for some time to locate my Paternal grand father who I was told when I was small was Irish. Both my parents died when I was young and none of the remaining aunts etc on my mothers (Harrison) side would talk about it.  Seemed strange as my surname, Herrington is not very Irish (though Harrington is)  Mystery partially solved when I got copies of my fathers birth cert.--Thomas Herrington b 11.09.1903 mother Caroline Herrington---no father named!!  Exactly the same with his older brotherJohn b. 22.03.1897. and his younger sister Kathleenb. 29.06.1909 So that why the Harrisons wouldnt tell me anything!! I wonder if you spot anything in the Church record as to fathers name (or godparents) you could let me know. I had been planning to do a search myself but only return to the Midlands occasionally
