parents of thomas jay COMPLETED WITH THANKS

[edesearch]

I was wondering whether someone would be kind enough to find the names and dates of births/deaths of Thomas Jay's parents. Thomas was born about 1862 in Birmingham, Warwickshire. His wife's name was Martha Jay(Crosbie) and they had a daughter called Dora Eveline Jay,any help would be greatly appreciated.

kind regards

Not sure about the birthplace of father William JAY.... 1891, 1901 and 1911 Census all say Birmingham or Warwickshire... not seeing him prior to 1881 yet but hope that I can confirm either Staffordshire or Warwickshire.

Cheers
