Hope this all helps If you want any more. let me know kal

Hi Kal, Could you possibly look for a Mark Lax in both 1841 and 61 if poss, in 1841 he would have been around 21ish it's quite an unusual name so I might have a bit of luck. Many thanks. Belle.

Many thanks, it was a long shot as I said. Thomas was a journeyman, so they could have been anywhere!! Yvonne

Yvonne, I have looked on the 1861, so sorry they are not there, i have done different spelling variations, ie Birch, Burch and no luck im afraid. Kindest regards kal

Hello Kal, Wonder if you can help me with a long standing problem. Joseph Henry Birch, born, according to all the later census retuns in Foleshill in 1857, son of Thomas and Elizabeth, Thomas was a Plasterer. No sign of them in Foleshill in 1851, they turn up later in Yorkshire in 1881. I just had a hope that if Joseph Henry was born in 1857 they might still be in Foleshill or Coventry in 1861 - I know it is a long shot. Look forward to hearing from you, whatever the result! Yvonne
