West Bromwich Parish Register look-up
« on: Wednesday 27 June 12 12:49 BST (UK) »
Has anyone access to West Bromwich parish Registers?

I am trying to find a Sarah Ann Morris born to Henry Morris & Sarah Ann Crowther/Harborn.

She appears on the 1881 census in West Bromwich as aged 8 born 1872.

I cannot find a birth for Sarah that matches, all the certificates I have sent for have been the wrong parents.

Do you mean West Bromwich Registration District?  There are dozens of Churches and Chapels, do you know if she was Baptised?

When did her parents wed?
Where does she appear in the order/ranking of children?
What is the census ref that you have? It's not giving me any Sarah Ann morris b 1872 in West Brom. 1881.

The only record of Henry Morris marrying is to a Sarah Ann Harborn in 1870. All of the children in the census are born to a Sarah Ann Crowther.

I haven't managed to find a birth/parish record for Sarah the first born approx 1872 (according to the census).

This is the iformation that I have for the other siblings

1877   Birth record             Elizabeth born Hall Street to Henry & Sarah (formerly Crowther)   
1880   Parish record   Elizabeth at Makeshift Row parents Henry & Sarah Ann   (St Johns)
1880   Birth record             Henry Morris born son of Henry & Sarah Ann   
1881   Census                  Henry 27 (puddler), Sarah A 26, Sarah 8, Harriet 5, Lizzie 3 , Henry 1 at 42 Moor Street West bromwich

Where's the 1871 census record for the 1870 marriage couple? One might reasonably assume that they are 'together' and it would help to show if Sarah Ann Harborn is Sarah ann Crowther.

In 1871 Henry & Sarah A Morris were living at 17 at Victoria Street West Bromwich.
