Staffordshire / West Bromwich map anyone?
« on: Saturday 01 January 05 15:05 GMT (UK)  »
Unfortunately a chunk of West Bromwich is missing from the old-maps website.  The area I'm interested in is from Black Lake to the twon centre.

Does anyone have a copy of the large scale 1880 OS map for this area that they could scan for me?

Thanks in advance

Staffordshire / Re: Sutton Coldfield - Staffs??

Hackstaple: Yes, I have a copy of that from the 1881 census. What troubles me is that I have a photograph of Emma where she appears to be in her 60's or 70's. Perhaps she was elsewhere at the time of the census....?

Thanks for the input!

Paul

Edited: I note that daughter Emily is not on the 1881 census - she should have been age 14 by then, perhaps she died between 1871-1881.  I know that Alfred Martin died within 10 years or so - I have a photo of him as a young man and someone has written "found drowned" on the back; maybe I can find a reference to that elsewhere...

Many thanks for your help :-)

Thanks JeannieR, his details are as follows...

Thomas Martin, born 1838 (deduced from age at 1881 census) at Sutton, Staffordshire.

I would imagine this is Sutton Coldfield (is there another Sutton in Staffs?) as his children are shown as born in Birmingham, Warks on the 1881 census.

Thanks again!

Staffordshire / Sutton Coldfield - Staffs??
« on: Thursday 30 December 04 13:54 GMT (UK)  »
According to the 1881 census my gt. gt. grandfather was born in 'Sutton, Staffs' - is this right? I always associate Sutton with Warks. Either way I can't find any BMD info on West Mids or Warks for Sutton - any idea if it's online?

Thanks

Family Bibles / Family Bible - Nevey

This image is from a photocopy of a family bible in a relative's possesion. It's handed me lots of information on a plate for researching my family history - hopefully someone else might find it useful/interesting!
