Many thanks to LFW for looking up the above information and for Lucy/Louisa's christening... looks like a big possible. Deffo surname looks like to be mistranscribed so will need to look up on alternative surnames.

Thanks again

Clare

Hi Clare

John Street Birmingham is about 1.5 miles from Handsworth area, so I think you have a match. Also found this birth !?!

Perhaps she couldn't decide whether she liked Lucy or Louisa :-)

Many thanks for those information.... i have a feeling some of the children u included have died in infant age as some of those are not shown on the 1851 and i think this does confirm that they did marry in 1828.

Thanks

Hi Clare

I've just had another look at both images (1841 & 1851) and I'm sure it's the same family. The address for both is John Street and Thomas is a Pearl Button Maker and then theirs Elizabeth Worrall living with them!

Yeah im fairly certain that thomas and lucy are parents.

and many thanks for finding the 1861/51 and 41 census.

Also i notice sarah is on the 1851 like she was on the 1861 so they could be siblings but where was the siblings in between james and sarah.

Deffo very puzzling!!

Clou the actual image does say Burr not bever (1861)

Ahhhh i think Chrissa got it!!.. as it says mary bever... in fact Mary A maiden name is Burr so could be mispelt as Bever on the census

OK

James is at a different address but is down as Son & is with Sarah Davenport & Mary A Bever

I've updated my post above to try to clarify the relationships.
