Not sure that I can do anything on Wolverhampton - I have a feeling that the records are not at Lichfield.  But Rugeley is definitely there.  See what I can do.

Aha, found more Thomas/Jane births, dating back to their marriage.

Mary Ann (1805)
Elizabeth (1807)
Sophia (1813)
John (1815)
Margaret (1817)
Thomas (1819)
William (1822)

- yet no Jane to be found.

Also discovered a 'Jane Evars' born in January 1778 in Claverley, Shropshire, very near Wolverhampton, parents named William and Margaret Evars.

Thomas Toy and Jane Evers were married at St Peter (Collegiate) on 7 July 1804 by Licence.  Witnesses:  Mary Dunn and Joseph Wainwright.

The licence exists - Thomas Toy of Wolverhampton Steel Toymaker, and Joseph Wainwright of Wolverhampton, Victualler were the Bondsmen.  No further information.

I checked Mary Ann's baptism - 10 July 1805 daughter of Thomas and Jane and Elizabeth on 22 January 1807 daughter of Thomas and Jane.

As I was now not sure whether this was your family, I did not check out the rest of the baptisms, but will do so if you want me to.  Nor did I check the burial of Thomas.

I did check the Rugeley burials, but not much information:

Elizabeth Sweet of Rugeley buried 22 January 1836 aged 43.
John Sweet of Rugeley buried 7 February 1837 ated 78.

This church was non-existant before 1822 hence why a marriage or individual births for the couple can not be found here. I suppose a trip to Rugeley to see the gravestone (if any) would answer a lot of questions.

Does anyone have any light they can shed upon this elusive pair?


St. Augustine's Church replaced a small chapel (now ruined) on the opposite side of the road.  This link tells you a little about it

Hi Joshii5

I have just found some research sent to me a few years ago on the Toy Family Tree, I think that you may find it useful, if you send a PM with your details I will send it to you

This is very helpful as John Toy and Sarah Massey were the foster parents of Thomas Sweet, my great-great grandfather. I have sent you a private message.  :)
