I don't think it's the Allens she's related to. So let's try the Judges.


Marriages Mar 1879
French John Tamworth 6b 447
JUDGE Eliza Tamworth 6b 447


Births Dec 1874
Judge Walter James Tamworth 6b 424


Marriages Jun 1872
...>>>Allen Eliza Walsall 6b 923
...>>>JUDGE Bernard Walsall 6b 923
MIDDLEBROOK John Walsall 6b 923

Thanks Ozi, i've just had to disappear again, i'll have to go through these Allens and like you say study the DOB.....thankyou very much for all this
yes this is the right marriage....but i think Elizabeth Judge who had Walter in 1874 might have been married to A judge and assuming she was a Hall?? she died in 1882 when she was married to John French

It all leads back to Allens, doesn't it?

Many Judges on the 1871 census have a connection to Ireland. There's 13 living in Walsall in 1871; 7 born Ireland, the rest born Walsall. No Bernard.

Wow Ozi, this is Brilliant.....fancy the Judge's leading to the Allen's...i thought these were just going to have to go on the back burner for a while until we tied up the Hall's and Judge's but....there you go....your a star!!
thankyou very much!

So looks like we are looking at a mistranscription of Bernard as in Barnett Judge

Angela

Angela Report 6 Mar 2008 07:42

I wonder if there is a death just to be sure of him in the Tamworth area between say 1875 and his wife remarried in 1879 so say 1878

Hi Nicki,
there is just one more request....
I've come across a Charles French born 1869 Milcomb Oxford ( the same place as John) and i originally thought he maybe a possible nephew..but as we have been going through all this it looks like John French lived with his mother Ann and another family and had no siblings for Charles to be a Nephew...why i ask is that Charles French is born the same place as John and he too has a Daughter called Bertha born 1890 in Tamworth...so rather a coincedience.....so to get to the point please would you have alook at the 1881 census for Charles i know you can't check the 1901 census...and i would love to know what connection to John he is...here's the info i have on him...
Charles French born 1869 Milcomb married to Clara Marsan
Children
Bertha 1890
Edith 1893
Minnie 1895
Frances 1896
William 1898 1917
Emma 1900
Albert 1901
Harry 1904
Charles 1907
Walter 1911 1988

Hi Nicki, thankyou very much...that makes David French born 1845.....at Milcomb which is the same year as John French......i wonder if John and david were cousin's

Nicki

Nicki Report 6 Mar 2008 20:06

Angela

Beats me. I am sorry.

There will be far cleverer people on here who can solve that for you, I am afraid it is not me.

I do know there are not two births for a Bertha though in 1890 in Tamworth only the following -

Births Mar 1890

French Bertha Tamworth 6b 428


Births Jun 1890

French Bertha Halifax 9a 429

You may have to start ordering certs to unravel all of this.

Thanks Nicki for all your time and help....you have given me plenty to go on and it's very much appreciated...to tie this family together as i'm sure they are connected i will probably need to be looking at the 1851 census for David and 1841 for his parents as it could be another generation back....but i will concentrate on this lot for now
thanks again for your help
best wishes

You are welcome.

Cannot do an 1851 look up for you on findmypast - I am sure someone on here will have a look for you though.
