Angela ... Thanks for the encouragement ... My One and Only Brickwall is ... GEORGE TIMMS born circa 1837 in Oxfordshire ... hometown unknown but ...through the process of eliminating all other George TIM(M)S by marriages or death ... we are left with one each from either Banbury or Cropredy. I can follow their lives up to marrying age but then lose them. Mine "married" (can't find their marriage either) Eliza BILLS of Tipton, WOR, in Dudley, WOR. He was a canal man when they married. I found her on the 1851, 61, 71, 81 and 91 censuses ... and he on the 71 and on up but not the 1851 or 61. If I can connect mine to either the Banbury or Cropredy George Timms I'd jump back three or four more generations. Any help out there? George Timms Tkac, USA

Hi George, Can't help very much I'm afraid, but your George TIMMS of Cropredy is still in Cropredy aged 14 on the 1851 census together with father George, mother Catherine and siblings. Both George snr and jnr give their professions as Nail Makers. I also looked through Banbury 1851 but could not find a George Timms there, although there were a few female TIMMS who were servants at various houses. There is a FreeBMD record showing the marriage of a George TIMMS in Jan-Mar quarter of 1859 in Banbury Reg district, but that doesn't really clarify anything as the Reg District covers both Banbury and Cropredy. Sorry not to have been of more help. Good luck.
