John Humphreys was born in 1843 in Ludlow to Richard and Mary. In 1851 1861 he was living with his parents in Ludlow. Occ in 1961 was shoemaker.
In 1881 and 1891 he was living in Birmingham with his wife Mary and daughter Alice (1873). His occupation was now Police Constable. In 1901 still in Birmingham with his wife and retired.
Can anyone see him in 1871 and also his marriage to Mary.? Did they have more children (other than Alice). I couldn't find the deaths of John or Mary.
Any help appreciated.

Hi
It looks like the marriage is at Birmingham Immanuel 14th May 1871
John 29 bach shoemaker 51 Holliday St s of Richard shoe maker
Mary Stanley 30 spinster 7 Stoke St John labourer
wit Edward Humphreys and Phoodr? Sharp
a comment underneath settled with Sanders ( a word I can't read).
Alice baptised St Thomas 16.3.1873 from St Vincent St policeman.
ps Alice looks like only child having checked new GRO index.
possible death John Humphreys Dec 1903 born 1842 6D 7. and he's buried at Key Hill Cemetery grave KH C300 burial 44802.
It looks like Mary died latter in Kings Norton Mar 1918 age 77 6D 109
She is on the 1911 census but hard to find-try Mary Humphreys Edgbaston age 69 born Gloucestershire

Hi
Thank you for looking and finding the info. I found Mary in 1911. Although I found John's death in 1903 and a link to Key Hill Cemetery I can't find the details you provided. Can you see a photo/picture of the grave?
Do you think that Mary was also buried at Key Hill?

You say you have John's which has a slightly different spelling Humphreys.
I've tried all the spellings I can think of but no luck for Mary .
Sorry

Gosh, the inscription details are really good - the info I found for John was not as detailed as this; can you see similar detail for John.
I really appreciate your help.
Thanks

Hello
I have found a record but it's not as nice as Edward's and it does seem quite huge.-240 graves.There's no gravestone and just years for each burial.

Gosh - your right ... lots of it. Not quite as 'homely' as the local village cemetery.
Thanks Bob
