BRATT - 1851

[queenswood 1]

Looking for Thomas Bratt n 1851 - He married Eliza willis in 1856 in West Brom and they had a son in 1859.

I have no idea of Thomas's age but bearing in mind when he married and produced a son, and knowing that Eliza was probably born around 1830/35, I would expect Thomas to be about the same sort of age as Eliza - their son'sbirth is shown as Birmingham St George (1859) on later Censuses.
Thank you

Hi Caroline,

Do you have any idea what Thomas did for an occupation and possibly where he was born?

I have found a couple, but if we can narrow it down it would be easier.

Hi - not sure at the moment but if you can send me what you have found so far and I may be able to eliminate later on!

I am also looking for this family that may have been in the same area as he married their daughter Eliza Willis in 1856 in West Brom.

Ann Willis (Head/Wife)- born c 1805 Colwall
With Children- Elizabeth born c 1835, Ann born c c1837, William c 1840, George c1842, Margaret c 1844.
All these children were born in Colwall.

Many thanks

Caroline
