Rayboulds of Birmingham

[AngiRay]

Hello, I am currently researching my husband's family and am asking for any information on the Raybould family living in Bordesley Green, Birmingham around 1871.  Benjamin was a gun barrel maker in the Small Heath area.  The problem I am encountering is that there were so many spellings of the surname - Raybould, Raybold, Reybold, Rybold and there was a Benjamin in every generation.  Thank you for any assistance

Welcome to rootschat, AngiRay.

As there are several Benjamin Rayboulds living at that time, could you give us what you definitely know about him as regards children or marriage or parents, please?   
Have you found him and his family in a census?

Thank-you

4 Benjamins in 1871 but just 1 who was a gun barrel filer. Is this him?

1 birth for a Benjamin Raybold:

2 siblings:

Ann is possibly Ann Wetstone m. Wm. Gold 1791 St. Martin's.
There's a death there in 1793 for a Wm. Goold who may be him.

Thank you for all this..especially regarding the siblings, this is where it became confusing for me.  I certainly have a lot to look at here

You'll notice in 1851 there's an Emma Poole visitor from Worcester. She married Benjamin the son.
His mother Harriet nee Pool was also from Worcester so they may be related which is something else to look out for.

Thank you jim1...possibly Emma was Harriet's niece, certainly a new line of enquiry
