I have a relative, charles harris born approx 1850 in long itchington warks. I know that his father was william harris, how do I find out his mothers name? have looked but have come upto a brick wall

Hi You either need to find and order his birth cert, or, if you are lucky and know her christian name, their marriage ref should give you the info. Trudy

Do you know the names of any of his brothers and sisters?

There's a Charles Harris, born c.1848 with father William in Ipsley and Redditch on the 1861 census. They are both fish hook makers. Mother's name Ann. It's not too far from Long Itchington. Kath. x

Kath Where is Ipsley? Lynne

It's right near Redditch, west of Long Itchington. Kath. x

Kath I just had to Google to see where Redditch is - I'm a northern lass so don't know these places - LOL! Lynne

I'm a northern lass too, I just use Memory-map which is what my son has on the computer. But I'm a REAL northern lass (North east that is) lol. Kath. x

Kath I'm in the north west but my son has just moved to the north east - Blyth, near Newcastle and my MIL is from Newcastle. Lynne
