Its not the Walsall one. :(

But I have just spotted an anomily (sp) the 1871 census says John F Osborne born 1864 in Kings Bromley to Thomas and Isabell. I think this must be FRED osborne (no john in sight) born lichfield 1863? Just trying to follow him now...although his parents were married in 1861 before he was born so if it is him then why would he not be down on the marriage. HMMMMM. I wish my families were easier. This line all seem to be illegitimate so far. :( xx

Hello there,
I also have osborne's in my family from wolverhampton, there are several ways its been spelt, most common other one is minus the "E" I found a very good site, it covers a lot of wolverhampton, all I did was type in Wolverhampton Archives, it takes a while to find the right pages,but its all free information, I.E. Births , Marriages & Deaths with dates etc of wolverhampton people, also www.canalmuseum.org is good.

good luck stan smith

Hi Everyone.

John Osborne is still missing. :( I've spent so many hours on him now I'm starting to wonder if he really existed prior to 1891. ha ha.

I have the marriage certificate from 1890
the 1891 census
the 1901 census
and his death certificate.

Could anybody please try to find him on an earlier census for me. All those that I seem to think are likely I can also find in 91 and 01.

I really appreciate it. xxx

Hi Gemma,
I am looking for a John Osborne (my dads twin brother) born 1927 27th August. Have you come across him on any of your searches ?
My dad lost contact with him in 1939 during ww2. He is a tree owner on genes reunited, but have not been able to make contact with him.

Any ideas

Regards Debra

Hi Debra, sorry for the delay, where abouts where they born? I have kept all of my Osborne research even the ones that didn't pertain to me, I dont remember seeing twins but if you let me know what area they are from I will have a closer look for you. Gem. xx
