Find Ancestors

I am, still, looking for Joseph Firkins born at 1834 in West Bromwich Staffs, according to census. I have both his marriage certs that state that jeremiah firkins is his Father, but as I have found the rest of jeremiahs childrens christenings at the reg office in staffs, I am beginning to doubt that jeremiah was his natural father. I cannot find Joseph on the 1841 census, but neither can I find jeremiah they were boatmen, although I have found joseph on later census, so should I now call off the search for his birth

There is a death for a Jeremiah Firkin in 1841 at West Brom Jan Feb March, I wonder if that was his father.

I did find that, but Joseph called "my" Jeriahs children his brothers and sisters so I don't really know

Possible death Possibly two born around the same time

Can you tell us what the names of Jeremiah's other children were.

If he died in the first Qua of 1841 he quite possibly would not be on that census but his children and widow would be .

Suex

Thanks for that, but the Joseph I am looking for died at 56 in Birmingham after marrying twice

The Jeremiah I am looking for died in 1852, the reason, I thinks, they can't be found on the 1841 cesus is that they were boatmen working the birmingham/staffs canels

I have go out to work now, but many thaks for the replies and I will be checking later again thanks

Lynda you have to tell us a little more about your Joseph, Like who he married, when and where and his children for us to look further for you. We need to know names of wives please?

Have you found Jeremiah's wife on the 1841 census and any of his children please?

In your opening post you say "I am, still, looking for Joseph Firkins born at 1834...."

Does this mean that you already have another thread about the Firkins? Unfortunately, I cannot check because I keep getting an error report when I try to Search.

Possibility for 1841, slightly older than expected though. Image very faint

Just a thought. Is'nt there a register of Boatman? Or absent voters.

Hi, TF and MFG

Could you see if you can check for other Firkin threads? I get an error message when I try to search in the Enter Keyword box above..

At work at the mo, so doing this from memory. Parents Jeremiah and sarah both brn abt 1805 west brom children, that I can remember, Emma brn 1830 Jeremiah brn 1832 both christened at St Phillips Birmingham. Joseph married Emma abt 1857 both can be found on the 1861 census in Birmingham cannot find Joseph on the 1841 or the 1851 census

Jeremiah married Sarah Wagstaff according to someones tree on Ancestry. They have Joseph as their child but no other children listed. They also have Jerimiah's parents.

Well I have looked and looked and can't find any of them on the 1841 or 1851.

From the Firkin tree on ancestry Jerimiah was born in 1805ish.

His parents were William Firkins 1766 and Martha Whitehouse c1766 and their childrens baps are these.
