Withers, Augustus Henry b1852
« on: Tuesday 01 November 22 06:05 GMT (UK) »
Augustus Henry Withers / Henry Augustus Withers was the 11th child of Edwin Withers (1804).
He was born at Handsworth in 1852.
I cannot find him in 1871 Census, although he should be included with his parents Edwin age 66 and Sarah age 51.
He is in 1891 Census as Landlord of Beehive Inn, Wilton St, Aston with Helen his wife and five children.
Looking to find his Marriage to Helen, when and where, please.
In 1901 is he still a landlord?

With thanks

Hello
Well done Tazzie
Just to add the 1871 census

1871 17 Snow Hill Birmingham
Francis S Withers 25 son unmarried manufacturer Wolverhampton
Augustus H Withers son 19 unmarried manufacturer Wolverhampton.

No Head of household and previous entry William  Hilton 47 railway clerk Hunts Green Stafford.
I presume you have the 1861 where he is with his family in Handsworth.
The marriage was at the Register Office so you'll need to buy the certificate.

Henry Withers 47 Warehouseman Staffordshire
Helen 43 Handsworth
Mabel 20 cutter our of blouses
Norman 17 blacksmith

He was born at Handsworth in 1852.

Augustus was born in 1851 and he was the 8th child, hence the name Augustus.
