Hi Nicola, Thank you for this kind offer. I wonder if you could look for any Parfreys in Norfolk for 1851. I don't know if you need to know the actual area - they seem to have been around the Swaffham area. Thank you so much. Jackie

Nicola Any chance of looking for any relatioves in Birmingham in 1851. I have a richard George Robinson born around1795 probably in Birmingham. His son William Frederick married to Elizabeth or Betsy in 1840 in Birmingham. They had a son Richard George born 1841 and they were living in Bonacre street then which I think is Aston/nechells area. Am looking for more family for the first Richard and his son William Frederick Would be eternally grateful Lynda

Hi Linda, Sorry, I couldn't find a Richard Robinson that was in birmingham of the right age, and there were no Richard Robinson (jr) with a father called William. Sorry about that, Nicola

Thanks for trying anyway Nicola They are very trying these Robinsons. Anything under george Robinson or Frederick. They are forever been given names and using the second names. The 1841 Richard George is registered with that name, is also Richard on my grandmothers birth and marriage certificate but George on the census's. If I am trying to you I must take after my relatives(Which I do) Lyndaxx

Hi Lynda, This was the only George Robinson in Birmingham of around the right age: Name Relationship Mar Age Sex Occupation Birthplace George ROBINSON Head M 53 M Spur Maker and Plater Birmingham-Warwick Sophia ROBINSON Wife M 55 F --- Birmingham-Warwick Sarah ROBINSON Daur U 19 F Polisher of Jewellery Birmingham-Warwick Charlotte WEAVER Daur M 22 F Japan Polisher Birmingham-Warwick Charlotte WEAVER DauL - 5 F --- Birmingham-Warwick Elizabeth WEAVER DauL - 3 F --- Birmingham-Warwick Address: 12 Court 2 House Kenion St., Birmingham Census Place: Birmingham Birmingham, Warwickshire PRO Reference: HO/107/2059 Folio: 84 Page: 21 FHL Film: 0332122 -------------------------------------------------- There wasn't a frederick of the correct age in Birmingham, sorry. Hope this helps, Nicola

Thanks a lot Nichola. I've entered it in my records until I can verify it, but it looks very promising. Have a nice holiday and perhaps will speak to you when you get back. Look after yourself. Lynda

I'm back and can carry on with look ups now! :)

Hi Ian Thanks for the kind offer. I would like you to check for William Riches (dob?) and wife Maria Elizabeth ( nee Critten- chr. 1825) in the Gt Yarmouth area.Maria was born in Yarmouth and I think William was too! Hope you can help Regards Peter

Hi Peter, Hope this is the correct family: Name Relationship Mar Age Sex Occupation Birthplace Maria RICHES Wife(Head) M 26 F Mariners Wife Yarmouth-Nfk Maria RICHES Daur - 2 F --- Yarmouth-Nfk Address: So Walls, Yarmouth Census Place: Great Yarmouth Yarmouth, Norfolk PRO Reference: HO/107/1806 Folio: 239 Page: 17 FHL Film: 0207457 ------------------------------------------------- All the information that you provided for her fits, and it would explain why i couldn't find her husband when i looked him up! Hope this helps, Nicola

Hi Nicola Sorry for not noticing that you weren't Ian!!! I'm sure that this is them,thank you so much.I suspected that they had at least 1 child and this confirms it.Sadly there is a death of a Maria Elizabeth Riches recorded in 4th quarter 1851,so I need to find out whether it was one of mine. Thanks again for your help Regards Peter

Just thought i'd nudge this up, incase anyone didnt see their reply, Nicola
