John Kirk abt 1774
« on: Saturday 13 January 18 22:47 GMT (UK) »
I am unable to find a baptism for John or his marriage to Ann.
This is what i have :-
His birth date may be incorrect and could not find any more children between 1808 and 1816 which seems to be quite a gap or prior to 1804

St Mathews Churchyard  PLOT Section 36 = No. 4 on Plan.
Husband of Ann Kirk
May have been married about 1804 Ann

The last three children were all baptised on the same date but they could have been born anytime between 1808 and 1816 when the baptism took place. Not all children were baptised as babies.

The marriage OPR is also on A....try but not too clear, John signed there is no H.
One witness was an illegible Gough.

Bearing in mind that Handsworth was on the edge of Birmingham at that time there are baptism records for Ann & John at St Philips & St Martin
My ancestors were all from Birmingham and a number married at St Mary, Handsworth.

Thank you both for that information.
I had concentrated my search around Walsall and areas near Walsall.
The 3 children baptised on the 16th were down as siblings and wondered if they were born at different times or may have been triplets.
I am originally from Caldmore , Walsall.
Thank you again for your time and help
Val
