Thank you.  Like most of my ancestors, he was an agricultural labourer. I'm guessing he was probably nicking off the boss.

Can't wait to tell my mum what noble stock we descend from  ;D

Thank you SO much David.

What a rogue!

Hello

My GGGGF was tried on 2nd July 1867 and imprisioned. He was born in 1819 in Long Compton and died 1896 in Shipston on Stour, where he lived most of his life I believe.

Can anyone help me track what he went to prison for please?

Warwickshire Resources & Offers / Kings Norton Primary Open Register afternoon
« on: Friday 23 February 18 16:33 GMT (UK)  »
Hello

St Nicholas Place are hosting this event on Wednesday 28th Feb, where all the old registers from the primary school will be open to view. The school was established in 1876.

I appreciate this is niche, but I thought it was a nice idea for an event and worth sharing in case it’s of use to anyone researching the area.

The 1975 death for Thomas appears on probate index - of 158 Severne Road, Acocks Green, Birmingham - died 17 October 1975

Thank you. That address matches the 1939 list. I believe this man was Birmingham born and not my Irish ancestor. I'll amend the OP.

Where did they die  :-\

Those dates are all Birmingham registered deaths, but I can’t be sure it’s them! Edward, for example, I’ve since been able to discount.

I’m only sure of the birth dates as I’ve seen the Irish certificates.

Thanks to fantastic Irish records, I can be sure of their birthdates

Michael Joe Nolan (1891)
Edward John Nolan (1895)
Thomas Nolan (1898)


You have only given the years of birth do you know the full dates

Not for Thomas, but Michael Joe is 28th April and Edward was 24th August.

I found some other definite relatives on the 1939 list whose DOB differed from what was on their birth certificate, although I can be sure of address etc, so I guess people weren’t always accurate with what they told census takers anyway?

I absolutely love that 1939 page. Unfortunately, that particular Edward Nolan was born in Birmingham, so he's not my man.

How do you know that particular Edward was born in Birmingham - 1939 register does not give place of birth  :-\

I traced his DOB (it was different to my guy) on other sites and found information pertaining to him being Birmingham born and bred.

I'm having trouble finding any of the brothers in the city at that time. My new cousin is adamant that they travelled to Brum in the 1920s, maybe they'd already moved on?

Can any recommend something between the 1911 census and the 1939 count that might help me track them down in Birmingham? I'm happy to check physical records if necessary as I still live here.

Thank you.
