hey guys, sorry for the delay in getting back to you,
im new to the site and just to say thanks for the help, appreciated
Ive had trouble trying to find or pin point my Thomas steel... i researched as far back as to Abraham steel born in 1805, Abraham remarried late in his life to a Emma hunt. with this i could order his marriage certificate that stated his father as Thomas steel, deceased.
possibly the Thomas steel certificate I Ordered may not be the correct Thomas... or it may just be that he was a collier "miner" and the information that he was a farmer was incorrect.
hi brummiejan :) ha like the name, im also from Birmingham :) but yes thats the correct Thomas, im sure thats him. listed with his wife Elizabeth est birth around 1771
ive noticed that in my family tree the grandparents names are often passed down, either used as middle names, or first.
I started from Jesse steele was a police inspector, ive got old pictures of him passed down through the family, that how i then traced his father Abraham and then Thomas, but little stuck finding anything on Thomas.
hi anncardiff, thanks for that information really helpful, looks like Abraham and his father got married in the same church? but not buried.
has anyone got an idea as to the strong religious names used? Jesse, Abraham, etc?
Hi vera, will check those links out thankyou :) yes ive seen the names Esther and Martha before... could be daughters.... ive found most of my ancesters had up to ten children which i guess was common to have a big family.
Hi allotment, thanks again, that could be Thomas? what would the reason be that they would be buried separately?
thanks again for all your help, as I said new to this site and suprised with the feedback/help

Just checking - this is him 1841? With wife & others. No sign of him with Esther & Martha (daughters?) 1851 as you know. I think it a bit unlikely he changed to a miner though!

hi folks, my first post and wondering if anyone can do a look up for me? im trying to find where a thomas steel may be buried...
this is the information I have so far...
thomas steel born around 1771 in quarnford,
married 1789 Sep 3 Thomas STEEL & Elizabeth SHATTAW Wit: John Downs, Henry Wood in alstonefield i managed to find his death certificate and im sure its the correct thomas steel
death in the sub district of longacre - leek union - county stafford died goldsitch moss, 1849 aged 79 occupation collier,
this may not be the correct thomas steel... as other information has him as a farmer...
if anyone can help or point me in the right direction that would be great :)
regards
peter steele
