Hobbs family
« on: Thursday 31 January 08 23:32 GMT (UK) »
Hi- William  Henry Hobbs born Bristol 1850-married Jane L Walker 1878 had 4 children --Esther, Arthur, David & Leah, died 1901 in Kings Norton. William had a Brother David also born Bristol also moved to Kings Norton who was my Grandmothers Father. I have searched with no luck for a Birth Cert for William - I need to know his Mothers maiden name. Her Christan name was Esther. Anyone out there searching this Hobbs line??? I would appreciate if I could hear from someone . Thanks

David's marriage:
Dec.1871/B'ham/6d/197
This will at least give father's name then we can look for him.

Found a death for Esther Hobbs/dec.1889/Aston/6d/153/aged 75

To Jim and Tricia who answered my Hobbs queries - Thank you Thank you- I had found some of them on the 1901 and I had checked the Marriages - and I have Davids Marriage cert and his fathers death date. What I am really after is the marriage of Esther to Thomas Hobbs about 1845-7. I have checked the BMDs and not found them. Was it compulsary to r egister the marriage by 1845?. I have sent for the BC of all the David Hobbs on BMDs for 5 years and none were mine and the 2 Williams I found were also not mine so I am wondering if it was too costly to register the births.Esther was a widow in 1850.
I really do appreciate the kindness of you all
Thank you so much

It was compulsory for a marriage to be registered,but it wasn't compulsory to marry in the first place  Smiley
They may not have.

 Smiley Yes Jim I had thought of that. I do know that she was 10 years older than him.The 1851 of Bristol Glos gives her as 38 and Thomas died in 1850 age 28. Only one child - David, is on the 1851 yet the death notice mentions her and 2 children. Thomas was crushed to death between 2 boilers in an accident at work. I have tried to get a Coroners enquiry but apparently they have been destroyed in a fire. I have'nt found a proper Obit just a little 1/2" blurb in the Bristol paper. There would be no Cemetery records as I have no doubt it would be a paupers grave.
Thanks for the input
Have a great day
