Hi

Had a look on IGI for marriages for Thomas and Lucy and found this. As Lost for Words ;-) posted a message and the wife was called Louisa not Lucy.

What do u think of the below info? do I have a match?

THOMAS DAVENPORT Pedigree

Marriages:
Spouse: LOUISA HASHTON Family
Marriage: 05 OCT 1828 Saint Marys, Handsworth, Stafford, England

Thanks

nudging to keep top of board x

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!


These are some births I found with parents Thomas and Louisa. They seem to wait to have the children christened.

1. HENRY DAVENPORT - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Christening: 23 JUL 1847 Saint Peter Dale End, Birmingham, Warwick, England
2. MATILDA DAVENPORT - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Birth: 08 APR 1830
3. MATILDA DAVENPORT - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Christening: 23 MAY 1836 Saint Martin, Birmingham, Warwick, England
4. JOHN DAVENPORT - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Birth: 13 MAY 1835
5. JOHN DAVENPORT - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Christening: 31 AUG 1840 Saint Martin, Birmingham, Warwick, England
6. WILLIAM DAVENPORT - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Birth: 15 JUL 1840
7. WILLIAM DAVENPORT - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Christening: 31 AUG 1840 Saint Martin, Birmingham, Warwick, England

And these with parents Thomas and Lucy

1. HANNAH DAVENPORT - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Christening: 27 FEB 1837 Saint Martin, Birmingham, Warwick, England
2. GEORGE DAVENPORT - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Christening: 11 MAR 1839 Saint Martin, Birmingham, Warwick, England
3. JAMES DAVENPORT - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Christening: 05 OCT 1840 Saint Martin, Birmingham, Warwick, England
4. LUCY DAVENPORT - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Christening: 27 FEB 1837 Saint Martin, Birmingham, Warwick, England

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

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 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
