Hello List. Joe Howorth here I have seen the 1871 census and most of the Family I was after where living with the Elkington Family but the person I was after Robert Howorth is not with them I wonder if he may be lodging or living with another family as he moved with his Job,could anyone have a look for me as I may have missed him. Regards J.J.Howorth.

"Samuel Overton , late of Grovefield in the Parish of Hampton Lucy, in the County of Warwick, was born in the Parish of Tachbrook in the said County, the 14th of the Seventh Month 1668, and was educated in the way of Truth as professed by us. In his Youth, for some Years, he was much inured to Labour and very helpful in the Management of his Father's Affairs, being his eldest Son. About the year 1695 he entered into the married State, and engaged in Business for himself; yet still continued a filial Affection and dutiful Care towards his Parents, and was a great Assistant to them and their Family: being endued with a conprehensive natural Capacity, he exerted himself in an industrious and prudent Management of his temporal Affairs; in which, through divine Blessing attending his honest and skilful Endeavours, he was favoured with a comfortable Subsistence on a Farm, where his honest Parents had laboured under very great Difficulties; for the Lord was pleased to bless him in the Basket and in the Store. He had several Children who died in their minority, besides seven who survived, whom he gave considerably to, and saw them well settled; yet notwithstanding that, and his many Labours and Travels in the Work of the Ministy, in which he spent much Time, he died in plentiful Circumstances. In his Youth he received a Visitation from on high; to which being faithful, about the Year 1694 the Lord was pleased to commit unto him a Dispensation of the Gospel to preach, wherein he faithfully laboured until weakness of the Body prevented him, which was but a very short Time before his Death. In the Course of his Ministry he several Times visited the Meetings of Friends in many Counties of England, particularly in the Western Parts thereof, and sometimes in Wales; and for many Years attended the Yearly Meeting at London. And in his Mind being freely devoted to discharge his Duty, he often appointed Meetings for the Information and Benefit of those of other Persuasions. He was very serviceable in attending Marriages and Burials among Friends, both in the County where he resided, and in those adjacent. He had an excellent Gift in the Ministry, and his Labours therein were generally very acceptable, he being sound in Doctrine, and mighty in the Scriptures, He was likewise very serviceable in Meetings of Discipline, being one of the first who was concerned in settling of them in those Parts, which he also diligently attended, and was of sound Judgement and steady Deportment, often advising Friends to keep cool their minds, and to speak from a Sense of Truth. He was also a Pattern of Meekness and Brotherly Condescention. He was a loving and affectionate Husband, a tender Father, a kind and liberal Master, a true and faithful Friend, a generous and good Neighbour, particularly to the Poor and Afflicted. His House and Heart were always open to entertain his Friends, especially those who were Strangers. He was often made use of as an Arbitrator, to compose Differences amongst our own Society and others, in which Office he was very successful. He did not only, in Doctine, zealously and repeatedly recommend a holy and circumspect Life and Deportment, but was a lively Pattern and Example thereof, in his own Conversation and Conduct. He had a lingering illness of several Months which he bore with Christian Patience; and as often as the Intermission of his Distemper would admit, he was very diligent in attending Meetings, wherein he very devoutly exercised his Gift, and was supported and carried through, in the Discharge thereof, beyond what could in the Eye of Reason be expected, being freely given up to spend and be spent for the Service of Truth; and even at the last Meeting he had among Friends at Warwick, which was the same Week he died, notwithstanding the Infirmities of his Body, he was deeply and excellently concerned in the Testimony; and as if sensible of his approaching Death, and the Loss which the Church was likely to sustain by his Removal, (which indeed is very great) he fervently in Prayer besought the Lord of the Harvest, that out of his abundent Goodness, he would be pleased to raise up and send more faithful Labourers thereinto; which was very affecting and Heart tendering to several then present: and we earnestly desire, that his ardent Prayer may be answered, and that it may please the Divine Being, to pour forth upon the rising Generation, a double Portion of that Spirit which so eminently attended many of our worthy Friends, who are gone to Rest and Peace; of which Number we doubt not but this worthy Friend was one, for we believe he lived and died a faithful Servant of Christ and his Church. He departed this Life the 23rd of the Seventh Month 1737, and was honourably buried in Friends Burying Ground in Warwick the 27th of the same, being attended by a great Number of Friends and Neighbours, and generally lamented by all Sorts of People. Aged about Sixty-nine, a minister about Forty eight Years" My that one went on longer than I expected - again if anyone wants to post it to a more appropriate list - thanks. Still appropriate to Brum since so many people came into the town from the outskirts after this date and a descendant may see it. Ros

While on the subject of Freeth - here is a testimony regarding Joseph Freeth, Jonathon's son ----- "He was the son of our worthy Friend Jonathon Freeth, of Birmingham deceased. The pious godly Care and Counsel of his Parents in his Education, though not strictly adhered to in his Youth, yet as he grew in Years, made very deep Impressions upon his Mind, which he hath often expressed with great Thankfulness, both to the Lord and them. When he left his Parents, he settled at Coventry, about the Twenty Fifth Year of his Age, when it pleased the Lord to afford him a fresh Visitation of his Love, so that he became very religious, diligently seeking after the way of Life and Salvation; and by yielding Obedience, through Faith, unto the Gift of God, he was made Partaker of Life and Peace in our Lord Jesus Christ. About the Twenty eighth Year of his Age, it pleased the Lord to call him to the Work of the Ministry; and he being faithful to he heavenly Vision, preached the Gospel with Zeal and Fervency. In his Ministry he was plain, sound and powerful; in Supplication fervent. He visited some Meetings in several Counties in this Nation, and lately in our own County and Counties adjacent, much to the Comfort and Satisfaction of Friends. He was very diligent in attending Meetings for Worship and Discipline, in settling the affairs of the Church, in which he was of excellent Service being often closely exercised in Spirit, that he might witness a degree of that Power which Friends were so eminently favoured with in their first Settlement; in the Sense whereof, his Counsel was solid and weighty. He was particularly instrumental, when any undue Warmth appeared, to the restoring of Calmness and Quiet in the Meeting; being earnestly concerned that Friends might be influenced by nothing but Love and Zeal for the Truth. He often visited both Friends and others, when under Affliction; and in such Opportunities was frequently divinely favoured, to the great Comfort and Consolation of the Afflicted. He was endued with good Understanding, both in the Things of God, relating to the Good and Welfare of the Soul, and also in the Affairs of this Life; so that he had great and good Service in both, and many received Benefit thereby. He was endued with excellent Virtues, being sound in admonishing, circumspect and gentle in reproving, tender in advising, abounding in Charity, given to Hospitality, liberal in communicating, free and careful in Distributions, willing to do Good to all, especially to the Houshold of Faith, labouring earnestly for the Prosperity of Sion; and, being a Partaker of the like precious Faith with the Elders of old, hath obtained a good Report, being universally esteemed, and his Loss lamented. He was a faithful and loving Husband, a tender Father, a kind and compassionate Master, a sincere Friend and good Neighbour. He had but few Days Illness, in which he signified to some Friends about hm, He felt Peace within. We doubt not but he finished his Course with Joy, died in Favour with the Lord, and is at rest with the Faithful. He departed this Life on the 3rd Day of the Sixth Month 1742, and was decently buried in Friends Burying Ground, in the city of Coventry, the 5th of the same. In the Fifty third Year of his Age, a Minister about 25 Years" Hopefully it is accurate - I have trouble with the fs whichare ss" Ros Ps - if anyone belongs to the Coventry list (if there is one) feel free to repost. I don't belong.......

My father was a member of a football team but I don't know the name. He was born in 1914 if that seems likely from your knowledge of the photos date. But I would certainly recognise him if I saw him. If you would like to send me the picture I will check if he is there.

I have a book called testimonies concerning quakers deceased, published in 1760 "A testimony from the quarterly meeting of Birmingham concerning Jonathon Freeth He was born at Smithwick, in the parish of Harboone, in the county of Stafford, upon the 20th of the tenth Month 1661, descended of honest Parents. And as he grew in Years, was religiously inclined, and diligently attended the Meeting he belonged to, to wit, Birmingham, two miles from his Habitation, even in the Times of Persecutions, when the Door of Friends Meeting-house was sometimes shut up, and they obliged to meet in the Highways. He entered into a married State in the Year 1686, and about four Years after, removed with his Family to Birmingham; and in he year 1695, was concerned to bear a publick Testimony to the Truth. He was sound in his Doctrine, and often advised Friends to love and fear the Lord; and was a Man very thankful to God for his Goodness and Mercy, which was to him extended divers ways. And though he did not travel much, especially of late Years, yet he was very serviceable in his own Meeting, his Testimony being generally well accepted amongst Friends; he was very diligent in attending Week-day Meetings. In his Life and Conversation he was an Ornament to his Profession, being an example of Piety and Virtue, worthy of imitation; plain and self denying; temperate, if not abstemious; prudent and wise in his his Conduct, just in his Dealings, of good report amongst Men, and beloved by Friends and others. His Disposition was quiet, peaceable and easy; in Evenness of Temper beyond many; not exalted in Prosperity, nor dejected in Adversity. He was a Lover of Peace and Unity in the Church, and was often qualified to advise in the Affairs of Truth, and was ready to entertain Strangers. He was a faithful Friend, a tender Husband, a loving Father, concerned for the good Education of his Children in the Way of Truth and Sobriety; and we have reason to believe that his Endevours, through the Divine Blessing, had good Effect, some of his Sons having received a Gift in the Ministry. He died in good old Age, like a Shock of Corn gathered in due Season, after a short Illness of about thirty seven Hours, on 35th of the Eleventh Month 1738, and we doubt not that finished his Course with Joy, and is entered into everlasting Rest. Aged about Seventy seven, a Minister about Forty three Years." In case it is of interest to anyone .. Ros

I'm back again, after a few months, and would like to re-enter my familys' names and whereabouts. I begin with William Pritchard, b. 1790, Birmingham. His father was John, also from Birmingham, though the family was originally from Wales, I think. Almost all my Pritchards list their occupation as "painters" or "house painters". Wm's son was George, b. abt. 1819 in Birmingham. d. 1901 Hednesford, his wife was Ann Fox, b In West Bromwich in 1816. Her parents and siblings were born in Bradfield and Sheffield, Yorkshire.\ George had brothers, Edward, or Edwin, William, also b. in Birmingham.. Ann Fox, later Pritchard, lived on Gopsall St. in 1841 with her mother, Mary, and siblings. Beatrice, Charles, Mary, and Henry. There was also a George, not Mary's son, as he was just 10 yrs., and she was 67 at that time.. George Pritchard lived in Cardigan St. at that time. Beatrice Fox, married, in her 60's a Thomas Aston, a non-conformist pastor. . I think they lived on Vauxhall St. Mary Fox, mother of Beatrice, died at 27 Oliver St. Aston, attended by her daughter, Mary Fox Day (who died in her 80's in Erdington). The younger Pritchards subsecuently moved to Hednesford, Cannock. Gellion is another of my family names, from Birmingham. I believe Mary Fox, was born a Shaw, b. in Bradfield, in 1777. I hope there are clues here familiar to someone in the group. Nancy Curry Marietta, GA US

Hi List Is there anyone going to Birmingham archives or any archives in the area, who could possibly do a look up for me. I am interested in the details given for the marriage below. I realise the marriage took place pre registration, but I am hoping that there is some information such as occupation, bachelor/widower or witnesses given which might help me to identify this couple Astra Juxta Birmingham 18 Oct 1784 Richard Beaumont/Ann Pemberton Thank you Lenny (Researching the Beaumonts of Yorkshire.

Many thanks to all that gave help on this COURT/HANDS marriage. I've just found another problem though, another COURT/HANDS, but probably different families!!! Funny how the same names keeping getting associated with each other - with no linkage whatsoever to the others. Cheers Mike

Hi Jane   I got Selina's name by sending for her daughter's birth certificate and then IGI gave me her birth in 1833 at St Philips, Birmingham. Her first child, my gr grandfather Thomas, was born in 1852 in Birmingham so she would have been 19 and unlikely to be previously married. It was some time after this that they moved to Sheffield where they had five more children.   Taking your second message; I checked the IGI and found a birth for Thomas in 1827 with Thomas and Hannah as parents which could be the Inge St entry in the 1841. So this gives me two possible Thomas's, the other being Canden St.   In the 1841 for Inge St, Thomas has two sisters Hannah and Sarah. "My" Thomas's first three children were Thomas, Hannah and Sarah. The Canden St family names are not seen in later generations. How significant is this? It all seems a bit flimsy on which to base a decision!   Regards Graham __________________________________________________________ Not happy with your email address?.

Hi Gary, 1. From your information it would seem that Alfred was born in the parish of St. Thomas. Have you searched the IGI for the births? 2. The parish register will show; Date of Baptism, Child's Christian name, possibly sex, probably date of birth, Parents Christian Names and Surname(s), Where the child lives (just the parish usually), Fathers profession, person who performed the ceremony. 3. Unfortunately I haven't found anywhere on line yet.
