"FIELD" family

[paganlynny]

My interest is in the Field family. George Field b. abt 1852-1853 Birmingham. Parents William & Sarah Ann. I have no birth or marriage details, only know that William was a Sawyer. They emigrated to New Zealand in 1856. Any lookups or info on this family prior to 1856 would be appreciated.

Hallo, Lyn

A possible marriage:
William FIELD  Jun 1850 Aylsham (Warwickshire) vol 13 page 13 - on the same page Sarah Ann HARRISON

FreeBMD has eight possible births in Warwickshire for George between 1850 and 1854 (only two in Birmingham register district):

George Field, Mar 1852 Stourbridge vol 6c p182
George Field, Mar 1852 Aston vol 6d p2[35]
George Field, Mar 1852 Chipping Norton vol 3a p611
George Field, Sep 1852 Kings Norton vol 6c p342
George Henry Field, Dec 1852 Stourbridge vol 6c p155
George Welch Field, Dec 1852 Birmingham vol 6d p49
George Field, Mar 1853 Aston vol 6d p246
George Field, Sep 1853 Birmingham vol 6d p13[68]


The 1851 census has Field families in Warwickshire, but each couple has children born before 1850.

HO107/2061 Aston, folio 376 page 25
William Field, 28, German silver polisher, b Birmingham
Sarah, 28, b Rensham
together with five children (b 1843 - 1851) and one servant

HO107/2077 folio 122 page 5
William Field, 48, Carpenter, b Ufton - Warks
Sarah Field, 50, b Ufton - Warks
and two children aged 16 and 13

Neither of these seem very likely, but I can't see any other William and Sarah with Warwickshire connections.


This information doesn't add much certainty, but it could give you a lead or two.

Good hunting!

Hi Phillip
Thank you for your trouble. I know that Sarah Ann was nee Brown. It appears to me that even though George was born in Birmingham, the family quite likely resided elsewhere.
