Slap My flippin' Face!!!! You guys are FABULOUS! Thank you, thank you, thank you. I think Pete is on the right lines and this loooks like 'my family' But I also think that Mike may have found another branch as some of 'mine' lived in Bull Street for a while. I could kiss you both!

Greeting's Again Mandy.... Although I found Richards Families and Individuals within St. Phillip's Parish. I'm afraid I was not able to match them to any of your mentioned Names... But as you said well worth a try... Good Luck with your research.... MIKE.

Thank you so much Mike. It's a long shot, but I am looking for a Sophia Richards, born about 1822, birmingham. She may have had a brother called Alfred, born about 1819, she is living with him in 1851, at 3 Bull Street Birmingham. But I am trying to find to find her with her parents. There was an Alfred Richards born about 1819, christened at St philips church Birmingham in 1819. His parents are given as Daniel and Ann Richards (LDS Site) This woman is driving me mad! Cannot find her marriage or birth. Desperate to find her parents. Don't worry if you can't find her, very kind offer. Mandy X
