« on: Sunday 19 July 09 20:19 BST (UK) »
Hi there

Looking for Thomas and Aria Bird born Oakengates abt 1817.  In 1851 they're in Darlaston and they should have their sons Thomas and John with them.

Many Thanks

Sandra :)

Hi (again) Sandra,

1861
RG9/2035 66 22
Wednesbury, Staffordshire
Holyhead Row (or Road?)
Avis Bird, head, wid, 44, Beershop & (can't read), b. Oaken Gates Salop
Thomas, son, 14, b. Gun Nipple Maker (?), b. Wednesbury
John, son, 12, b. do.
Sophia, dau, 7, b. Darlaston
Jane Walker, serv, 19, House servant, b. Bilston

(I checked 1851 and I reckon her name was already Aviss)

 "My dear, I think the English pronounce it 'appiness"  

I'm afraid of no ghost

Interested in 1871?

1871
RG10/2954 90 8
Darlaston, Staffordshire
Catherine Cross
John Humphris, head, 52, Engine Fitter, b. Cheltenham Gloucestershire
Ann, wife, 54, b. Ketley Shropshire
Thomas Bird, son, 24, Iron Merchant's Clerk, b. Wednesbury Staff
Sophia Bird, dau, 17, Dressmaker, b. Darlaston

Marriage Sep 1869 Wolverhampton 6b 560: John Humphries - Aris Bird.
So Aris it was after all - sorry for earlier misinterpretation.

In 1881, at Dudley Union Workhouse in Sedgley with John, she's down as Alice (RG11/2874 129 24)

1891
RG12/2245 63 26
Darlaston, Staffordshire
72 Catherines Cross
3 rooms occupied
John Humphries, head, 73, Rag & Bone Dealer, b. Gloucestershire Cheltenham
Aris, wife, 75, b. Shropshire Oaken Gates

Death Aris Humphries age 80
Sep 1897 Lichfield 6b 274

Widowed John is at Walsall Workhouse in 1901.

And finally Aris' maiden name:

Marriage Mar 1838 Dudley 18 303
Thomas Bird - Aris North at Tipton St Martin
