Timmins - Dudley

[dorney]

Hi,

I am interested in the family name TIMMINS from the Dudley area.  They tended to give the males Old Testament names eg. ISSAC, JOB, ZACHERIAH, ISAIAH, etc.  Can anybody be of help?

Paul.

Jacqueline,

Where was your GGG Grandmother from and do you have any male Old Testament names in your family?  I am looking, with out much success, for myGrandfather's family.  He was born ca 1888 on Dec 26.  His name was Issac or Isaac TIMMINS.  Family tradition has it that he ran away to sea at an earily age.  He always said that his family like Old Testament names for their males.

      Anne(Timmins)-Richard Rich did have a son Isaac (May
1831)bapt.St.Thomas'Dudley.this is not a Rich name.I've
found two possible bapt.records for Anne both state
Isaac as the father. I'll be going to the local archives
office next week and will try and find your Isaac in the
1891 Dudley census.Will that be of any help?

Jacqueline,

I have found an Issac(Isaac) James TIMMINS in the 1891 census for Wolverhampton which is apparently not far from Dudley.  He was born in the Dec quarter of 1889 but the parents names do not correstpond with the information that I have(I have his parents listed as Thomas TIMMINS and Eliza CULLISS.  This is from his death cert.) .  When I reqested his birth cert. I was told that I did not have the correct information and that the requested cert. was not for the person for which I was searching.  If that makes any sense.  If you can find anything else in the 1891 census great but do not send too much time on it.  I am also trying to gain information from his World War One service records but getting information from Her Majesty's Government is like pulling teeth.  I am also checking immigration records in Canada in the hope of finding more information.

Thanks for the offer of help,

Paul

I have an Emanuel Timmins in my tree  who was married to Elizabeth Cooksey in 1811. They had a son Emanuel born in 1816 and he married Hannah and they had a son Emanuel.

Sylvia,

I have transferred my search from the Dudley to Liverpool(West Derby).  I believe I have found my Grandfather's family there.  I am just awaiting a birth cert. from England to confirm this.  I do have a listing for TIMMINS from the 1891 census of Wolverhampton.  The details are below.  I have a n image of the census page but it is too large to be sent here.

Sarah Fereday b. around 1768 in Tipton, Staffs.
