Baptism - Sedgley All Saints

[bosretd]

Hi,

Does anyone know where I might obtain copies of the registers for 1800-1825? BMSGH don't seem to cover this period and I have been unable to find anywhere else on the net. I am looking for the baptism of Thomas Hinks b1813 and his brothers Joseph b1817 and Samuel b1821. I think his mother was called Ann and there will almost certainly be other siblings.

Any help would be gratefully received,

Brian

Try www.freereg.org.uk    There are sedgley all saints on there but the hinks on there are late 1700's. To check coverage look at the counties page, Staffordshire that is and then press s for sedgley and sedgley all saints is near the top of the page.

Thanks for the info but freereg coverage doesn't include the years that I am interested in. No doubt they will do so eventually.

I thought I might have been on to something with Sister Sarah AXSON on the 1851 Census with Thomas/Susannah Hinks.
But she must be Susannahs Sister.
Sarah WALTERS married George AXHAM, 27 Sept 1830, St Peters, Wolverhampton.
Susanna Walters was a Witness.

Are you sure Joseph 1817 and Samuel 1821 were Thomas's Brothers?

I followed Joseph Hinks on Census and 1871 a Simcox Family is with him. Thomas S is Josephs deceased Wifes Cousin.

Just posting all of this in case it all works out!

This is all very useful information and I thank you.

No I cannot be sure that Joseph and Samuel were brothers of Thomas Hinks. However Thomas and Susannah Walters(Hinks) are in Scotland at the time of the 1841 census, in fact several of their children were born there. Next door to them in the 1841 census is Ann Hinks aged 50 and Samuel Hinks aged 10. In 1851 census a Joseph Hinks who was born in Coseley has a widowed mother called Ann aged 62 and a brother Samuel aged 20 living with him (HO107/2025/421/15). These seem to be the same Ann and Samuel. I need to find their baptisms and the only option seems to visit Stafford Record Office!!

I  did find Thos and Family in Scotland in 1841 Census.
I didnt see the others though.

There has to be a connection;

1841 in Scotland we have;
Willm Crowther    30
Mrs Crowther    30
Margt Crowther    11
Willm Crowther    9
Susannah Crowther 7
Joseph Crowther 5
Ann HENKS 50
Samuel Henks 10

Mary Ann and William CROWTHER were Witnesses to the Marriage of Joseph HINKS and Sarah SIMCOX
Possible Marriage 1 Feb 1829, Dudley, Staffs- Mary Ann TURNER and William CROWTHER

OK, got it now, took some searching though;
Joseph Hencke    34
Sarah Hencke    36
Ann Hencke    62
Samuel Hencke    20

So Marriage of Joseph has Father as SAMUEL and we now know (and you were correct) his Mother was Ann.
