here goes Edwin Davies married Sarah Beaver 1874 both aged 19 on thier marrage cert father named as Alfred Davies profession Ostler they had a son Tom Davies b. 1879 I know Edwin died around the same time as on the 1881 census Tom was with his grandparents who I know brought him up that is every thing I know thanks I do appreciate this Debbie

Karen mary was 9 yrs old in this census which means she was born before marriage. it also says schedule no 114 oldbury road west bromwich. lizz

Thanks a lot, Elizabeth - now I have an approximate date of birth for John, I may be able to make some more progress with him.

Elizabeth many thanks for looking. you may have found my 1st big fib!! can I be a pain and now ask you to check that the age for Ruth , that it definately says 2 months... Somethings not quite right here.with Mary..... as she is listed on the 1871 1871 mary aston age 10 tipton,west bromwich staffordshire,occ. scholar,living schedule no.61,oldbury rd, west bromwich staffordshire regards karen

Debbie so sorry this one is evading me.where did they get married or where was thomas born to give me a bit of a starting point please. lizz

Karen ,, it definately said 2 months i can email you it if you want. lizz

Thanks Elizabeth they are starting to get the better of me, think someone may have made an error on either ruth or Mary (years or months or I have really big liars!!!) 1871 ruth aston age 12(1859) b.Tipton Staffordshire, occ. scholar. living schedule no.61.oldbury rd, west bromwich staffordshire. if you have the image that would be lovely. thanks very much. regards karen

Karen maybe not a fib but could be another child as 1st mary may have died.i have found this happens alot. lizz

Elizabeth I have sent you a PM with email addy. The aston lot have been really good up to now and mostly give a second/ middle name to replacement kids. (I think I am going to have to dig out my new magnifying glass and check details printed on marriage cert-haven't seen it in a whlie) Edwin & his father Isaiah have yet to be discovered on the 1851--(several people have previously tried looking for them to no avail)

yes I know this one is a head ach one all I know it could be Monmouth thanks again Debbie

many thanks for image it is super clear. Cheers Elizabeth, well will have to get to bed now(11pm here up in 5hrs!) & get searching bmd's again . best regards karen

Karen please check hotmail as i have left you a message .i found them in 1851 census lizz

Oh Lizz what a fab Mother's Day Pressie! you found them you are a *superstar* thanks so much for finding them on the 1851 & yet another new christian name, Nehomi(Naomi) I think maybe on the 1861 the enumerator should have put Ruth as 2yrs & Mary as 9months ( I maybe wrong,as I have yet to find their BMD's, but Ruth is on 71 age 12 & married on 81 age 22) best regards Karen

Karen, glad to be of assistance lizz
