1851 Census Birmingham - Help Please!
« on: Thursday 11 September 08 11:15 BST (UK) »
I am looking for a William & Sarah Ann Field in the 1851 Census for Birmingham.
I am unsure of William's age but Sarah Ann would be 28yrs +/-1yr.
They married in King's Norton in 1848(free bmd) and their children George bap. 27 June 1852 Bordesley (free bmd) and James born 16 Nov 1853 Ladywood (b/c).Details listed on James birth cert in 1853 were William as a Sawyer and residence as 6 Court, Sherborne Street Birmingham. William apparently died on board his voyage to New Zealand in 1857, but there is no registration of his death and no log book kept so have been unable to get a death cert to confirm this.
Any help with this family would be greatly appreciated.
