More catholic information
Sorry, I haven't yet listed the individual records that may be of some interest but I have been concentrating on transcribing the confirmation lists for Holy Trinity Catholic Church, Bilston and have now done the available lists from 1875 to 1931.
Emphasis on available as some may be missing. Confirmations normally took place during the (Arch)Bishop's Visitation, every 3-6 years. Some of the lists may have gone missing as there are some big gaps and I can't quite believe that my great aunt who became a Nun, skipped her confirmation!
As soon as RootsChat web space is available again, I hope to set up a suitable site for anyone to search the lists but meantime, if you're desperate, ask here.
Candidates for confirmation were usually about 8 years upwards (generally to early teens but, if missed earlier, could be any age).
The lists give only baptismal name, family name and the name chosen for confirmation (not ALWAYS different from baptismal name but usually, so need to identify by how likely the person was to have been confirmed at that Church.
Confirmation names are useful for family history as they often account for an extra "middle" name appearing that bit later and I've come across some indiviuals who used it as an opportunity to change their name for future use.

Hi Royston,
thanks very much for the offer. I'll bear it in mind if anything urgent comes up. I still have relatives and friends in the area so get to visit a few times a year, including some visits. I even did the Bilston Town trail just over a year ago, adding in some extra family addresses. Not many of the houses are still standing, and didn't like to photo private homes wiithout permission, but found all the churches and the Tram Company offices as well as other interesting buildings.

I have a question (or two).
Is anyone else missing young men in the Bilston area in the 1851 census?
Anyone any ideas why that should be?
I have gradually noticed that, of some otherwise very traceable families, there are now at least 4 young men missing in my (extended) family in the 1851. Two of them married.
Were there any wars with conscription or was there anything political in particular going on that could account for this, or were they most likely just omitted while on the over-night shift at the ironworks?
I'm about to do (another) page by page search, in case it's just bad transcription.
Anyone got any other names that they would like me to look out for (i.e. apparently missing from 1851)?

Hi,
My GGGrandfather, Thomas Smith was born around 1816 in Bilston, father John, according to his marriage transcript. The only suitable Thomas I can find was baptised in 1813 to John and Sarah, looking at all the baptisms online. Are these full transcripts like what you can buy on CD? I just want to make sure I've got the right one.
Many thanks.

Harli,
when I've entered all my census data into my FH software I'll check for common ancestors as we have links with 3 different? Cox families in Bilston.
Jackie,
did you happen to have a Mary/Maria Durcan in Mayo in early 1851? Could have been her married name, of course. If so she could have been at my great-grandparents marriage, as a witness. Found the record on the new IFHF site - not a lot of detail but it means that I now know their parish in Mayo.
