Thanks Trish for your help.
That looks really promising and I'll investigate further!

Hi Roaslind146,

I've been searching for this website for 6 months and have just tracked this search down around James Wheeler, b.1811 in Halesowen.
The trail has gone dry for me. I spent a long time trying to get information on James's ancestry but pre-1811 there's a bit of a wall.
Just to confirm that my lineage (similar to yours)... my GGf was William Henry (b. 1880) youngest son of James (b. 1845), son of James Wheeler (b.1811 as above)>
And there the story stops... which is a real shame given the effort that has gone into everything so far!

Hello Ladyhawk,

Thanks for your efforts.

That is indeed his wife's baptism - always wondered why her d.o.b. varied.
It's given as 1821 in Baddesley Ensor on 1841 census but then shows that she's 33 yrs old in 1851 census which tallies with what you've found - great!

The only children born to James I know are those you listed - Frederick (who died as an infant), James2 (my paternal line GGGF), Jane Elizabeth and Elijah Elisha.
I can only imagine given the birth date of 1838 that Thomas was the first born of James1 and Jane but died before the 1841 census.

Just unfortunate that I'm currently at a dead end going back any further, although Worcestershire and Halesowen in particular are apparently good for record keeping, back to 1600's. As you say, there are no naming patterns with the John or Mary parents you found in the Dudley, St Thomas. Pretty sure they aren't the parents of James.

Any ideas?

Hello Ladyhawk,

Thanks for your response!
Yes, that is indeed him on 1861 census. The Wheeley has obviously been corrected to Wheeler at some stage.
Any other questions that will help you, fire away!

Thanks

Hi guys - first time poster here and a bit of a beginner so hope you can help!
I've used census returns to track my paternal line back to James Wheeler. He married Jane Thompson at St Bartholomews, Edgbaston 29/9/1836 and states he was born in 1811 in Halesowen. He also appears in the 1841 census as Head at 22 Potter Street, Birmingham. Can anyone please help me to find records of his baptism or his parents, most likely in Worcestershire?

Any help would be gratefully received!
