Hannah Finch
« on: Thursday 22 January 09 00:04 UTC (UK) »

I wonder if anyone could point me in the right direction to get some information on the birth or baptism of Hannah Finch in Sedgely in 1811?

I know she was married to William Whitehouse in Sedgely in 1836 and I can find her on on subsequent censuses, but can find no record of her birth.

This is particularly frustrating as my husband's middle name is Finch - presumably after her or some other Finch relative!!

Thanks

Looking at the ages of the children in 1841 -was William married before?

Are all the children really Whitehouse? -or was Hannah previously married -so her maiden name is not Finch???

I think you may be looking at the wrong family in 1841.-there is another Hannah & William Whitehouse!

Hannah was definately a Finch when she was married - I have the marriage record and it also says spinster.  William is listed as a bachelor.

Their children were

Hannah b 1844
Mary b 1845
William b 1847
Samuel b 1849

Thanks for your reply!

Hiya Hatster

Welcome to Rootschat!

I guess you mean you have a copy of the parish record as it was pre-registration. Does it give her fathers name?

No - I have the information from familyhistoryonline - the transcribed record of marriage in 1836 - no fathers details though.

Hiya Hatster

It might be worth trying this site http://www.blackcountrygob.com/portal.php

Its a local site and someone might be able to do you a look up at the archive office when they are over there. If you ask them to look up the marriage as well it might contain some information that wasnt transcribed onto the other site

Good luck
