My great Grandad, Henry ( Harry ) Fellows born 1874 in Birmingham brother to Emma Fellows born 1868 also Birmingham and son of Henry Fellows born 1849 also Birmingham.

I have details after Henry ( 1874 ) was born on the census records etc but I have never been able to find his birth reg or Emma's birth reg - and have never found their Mother at all

Their first appearance is in 1881 in Sheffield with his sister Emma ( his father is in the workhouse

I would love to find Henry and Emma's mother, any help appreciated

& this isn't her?

Births Jun 1869
Fellows Emma Birmingham 6d 57

Birth registration wasn't compulsory until 1875, so you may simply be unable to get a birth cert for either of them

Reg

or

Births Dec 1874
Fellowes Henry John Birmingham 6d 50

What about this?

Marriages Jun 1869
...>>>FELLOWES Henry Birmingham 6d 118
HAND George Birmingham 6d 118
...>>>PROBERT Emma Birmingham 6d 118
Sutton Eliza Birmingham 6d 118


It's just a guess. We don't even know if Emma was his partner & not Eliza.

Ozi.

Have sent for those cert's, in the last 2 years I have got various cert's that I hoped would be them but had no joy .....................

I think the breakthough would be finding Emma born 1868 and her father Henry born 1849 on the 1871 census but to date I have never found them

Reg, how common was it not to register births?

Ozi

Not Emma Probert, tried that one and drew a blank as she is with her Henry Fellows in later years when mine is in Sheffield with another women.

Thanks for looking though

This is their father Henry in 1861 still living with his parents and siblings

Really need to find him in 1871 to find out who he is with and if the Mother of Emma and Henry is there also

1881 is such a funny household. Who is Emma Hall really?

Ozi.

LOL, Emma Hall later becomes the common law wife of Henry ( 1849 ) and changes her childrens names to Fellows which later gets really confusing, in 1881 she is living with Henry's two children Emma and Henry whilst he is in the workhouse.

I have Emma Hall's marriage cert to show that her maiden name was Ellis just to put her to one side away from the Fellows
