Bloomsbury District of Birmingham
« on: Monday 03 October 05 18:49 BST (UK) »
Please does anyone know the Parish Church of the Bloomsbury District of Birmingham in the late 1840s?

I am trying to trace baptism of John Abbotts who was born in Bloomsbury in 1846/1847.  His parents were John and Elizabeth Abbotts.  The 1851 Census record shows the family as living in Walsall, and I have details of their subsequent movements.  However, I have been unable to find John junior in the register of births, and am hoping that the appropriate baptismal register may provide some clue to his actual birthplace and date.

According to Indiapaleale there is/was a Bloomsbury in Nechells (you learn something new every day).
I'm sure she will foreward the link.
