How to find birth location from 1797
« on: Wednesday 24 September 25 07:27 BST (UK) »
My GGGG grandfather Thomas Deaves was born 2nd May 1797, as normal birth certs didn’t come in until much later , can anyone give me instructions to finding out his birth location?

I’m assuming Liverpool ( even tho you should never assume)

He got married in St Chads Shrewsbury in 1817 ( cordwainer occ) I also have a business entry from 1821 saying he’s a cordwainer in Liverpool.

By 1828 he appears to have moved to tower St Shrewsbury as a cordwainer

How do I sus out his birth location?

You need to find his baptism, if it exists.
Also try to find him on early censuses. 1841 will only say whether he was born in county; 1851 etc should name his birthplace.

Wow thank you

Blind 20 years? I’m assuming that relates to Thomas Deaves vision?

How sad thank you , I’m off to find his grave today.

His death certificate says chronic bronchitis and exhaustion , occupational bronchitis I bet

The 1835 Edwin is the son of Thomas and Sarah see baptism record for St Mary's (ancestry)

The grandson Edwin born circa 1843 perhaps is the one you are referring to.

I think he could be the illegitimate son of one of the daughters Sarah or Margaret

Possibly him living with Sarah married name Hood in 1901 as Edward.
