Whitehead - Can't find a birth!
« on: Wednesday 20 February 19 18:10 GMT (UK) »
Hi all

I'm looking for a birth record (and parents) of Thomas Whitehead. I know he married Susannah Davis on 16th Dec 1821 in Birmingham. I have them in the 1841 census (aged 40) and it says he was born in county. In 1851 (aged 50) it states he was born in London, Middlesex. I believe he died in 1871 in Birmingham (aged 70). I can't find him in the 1861 census. His wife Susannah died in 1854 so he would appear alone in this census or possibly with a new partner.

Any help with finding his birth and parents would be greatly appreciated. If anyone can also locate him post 1851 I'd be most grateful.

Warwickshire, Birmingham, Worcestershire, Shropshire, Bridgnorth.

No trace in 1861 but perhaps the following might help others?

Thomas stated consistently that he was born 1801, there are a number of births around that time but only one in 1801, given the family names below it might be possible?

Thomas Whitehead   Baptism    31 May 1801   St Andrew, Enfield, Middlesex   Thomas,Mary

This may be Sarah but further reseach will be required on both.

Susanna Davis   Baptism    26 May 1804   Birmingham, St Philip   Joseph,Sarah

Children of Thomas, Susanna – births & baptisms St Philip (Thomas a Pearl Button Maker)
Mary Ann Whitehead   25 Apr 1822   29 Jul 1822   Livery St.
