Greeting's Again Geraldine..... ' Best plans of Mice and Men '....... Oh Dear......One step forward two back... Let's hope the new Vicar is into genealogy then..... MIKE.

Hi Mike Just to let you know had a phone call tonight from the vicar of Copt Oak he's only just got my letter as he is now in Burton on Trent. The board has'nt been altered at the church.He is sending my letter back to the new vicar. So I shall have to wait a bit longer. Geraldine

Greeting's Geradine........ ' All together now ....SUGARLUMPS !!! ' Lets hope this Smith spelt with two F's ? ....(Leicester Lingo) Grabs for the PROZAC...... But at lest the detective work was right..... OK..... my slack time is usually Mon ~ Thurs's..... SHOOT ....lol :0) MIKE.

Hi mike Just to let you know that the right birth certificate has arrived for Hannah Warner. Hurraah!!! (:O))) The down side is her mothers maiden name is guess what ? Smith!! Thank you for your help Geraldine

Greeting's Again Robert .... In answer to your quest to find address ...... I think it's best if you can pick up a copy of the 1841. Census for Matlock or Derbyshire on disk Have you tried Stepping Stones Ltd. ? They do Census Disks. Or the Derbyshire Family History Society. But having said that the 1841. census is very basic and with a bit of luck the enumerator has put the Street / Road name but NO house No's in the left hand column but don't hold your breath.... MIKE.

Greeting's Again Elaine & Sheila...... ' Sorry Ladies '..... Writes note to myself ' Must pay more attention '.... MIKE.

Ey up - Mike I'd just like to thank you for all the information you have posted on here for me. I really appreciate it. Thanks again Sheila

Hi Mike Your e-mail got through but I think it was intended for Sheila Elaine

Your welcome Margaret You just put nudge in to bring the thread back to begining of board. Mike nudged so this thread was in front of the old thread,so we use this one. instead of writing message you just put nudge. I Hope this explains it but ive probably gone the long way round explaining Bev

Hi Mike. Thanks again for interesting info. I think the William Heawood in Braunstone age 52 is brother to my gt.grandad the illusive EDWARD. You may be right in that 1871 Edward could have just been away from Oldbury working, I saw that he was a widow. Can't trace a death for Mary Heawood (Tyers) his wife but youngest son Joseph was born in 1869 and then she was not on 1871 census. I dont think PC Joseph Haywood was one of ours, no relation to the long arm of the law. The William HAYWOOD on 1891 census at 20 Elm St is grandfather. He had 2 more daughters in Belgrave this was before he moved back to Birmingham and subsequently Smethwick. By the way thanks also to Beverley for info about address in Hash Road Oldbury. I hadn't seen that house number before. I see mention about nudge forward. Don't understand this. I will do it if I know how. Margaret

Hi Elaine Ive never had that on the certificates ive got its always been spelt Stretton Bev

In Reply Wait for it... Handwritten 1958 so who do I talk to? LOL Elaine

Greeting's Sheila I presume...lol :0) Blue Boar Lane is not there today... But if you draw a line across Highcross Street from Free School Lane then that's where it started ..... Best hurry up if you want to see it it's about to be dug up for the new extension to the Shires Shopping Centre....... John's on the 1861. census Returns aged 72. give me a few minutes and I'll try and trace him back as far as I can for you..... MIKE.

( umm.... now where have we heard Belgrave before William Jr's Wife.... could this be her maiden name? ) Still no luck with Edward..... I've tried War graves Site... There was a burial off the NBI 8th. May 1879. Edward Haywood Aged 42. Sheffield. I did wonder if Edward was away looking for work (Carpenter) on the night of the Census 1881. That ties in with Son's (William) Occupation of Painter. Also had a close look at that 1871. Census and it looks like it states Edward was a WIDOW Aged 37. MIKE.

Hi all A question for everyone and really to see if this has happened to Bev. Have tied in rels here and there and previously it was to do with a Stretton and Hurst getting married and if I remember right it unearthed a Stretton for Bev. Have just received a cert for the marriage of Charles Hurst and Jemima Stretton which is on the St Margs reg but Stretton as written in the banns is spelt Street on the wedding certificate and the same goes for the witnesses. In fact I read the other witness as Shelton instead of Stretton. Am lost as this has never happened before, need help!!! Elaine

Ey up - it's me again - with another question (must get over and buy those maps Mike talks about) Wondering now where Blue Boar Lane was. My great grandma lived there as a child. Also - if anyone's feeling generous - I have John Lilley at 15 Blue Boar Lane on the 1871 census. He was 83 then so had been around for a bit. Wondering if anyone has him on an earlier census...any information appreciated and will reciprocate with Coventry area if anyone needs it. Many thanks Sheila
