Lee, I think you need to edit your post. As it stands it looks like John Greaves was about 218 when he landed in Oz! Did you mean to say that he was born in 1834? Regards, Allan Halstead

Could someone let me know what Church of England is on Warstone Lane, Birmingham. Thanks Reg

Hi Reg, It looks as though Warstone Lane is a Cemetery and it used to have a chapel (demolished 1954) It looks like and interesting place. I might stop by there next time I'm near the Jewellery Q.

Well, Tony, my lot married into the Richardson lot from that area. Alice Small married Richardson, and they moved to Sutton Cold Field. They previously lived around Erdington district. Still Richardson is a pretty common name. She was born around 1881ish. My grandfather was her brother James Small. I have had a bit of trouble with people 'vanishing' also. My lot Wackford, very few of them, were in Camborne, Cornwall on every census....suddenly 1881 not there.....now they WERE there....cannot find them listed...did they go on holidays that night....don't think so....maybe your Richardson went to see my Wackfords, and they all went to France!!!! robyndehood.

Hi Barbara I have McKenzie in my tree, but it is not a direct line. Henry McKenzie married (??) Ann Jefcoate and had a couple of children, I think William and Ann (there may be more but I am doing this from memory) and then Ann died at the age of about 32 from St Anthony's Fire. The family lived in Smith Street. Is this the same line as yours?

Hi Christine, You never know, there could be some connection. My Emily though, was born in 1873. As you can see below, mine started in Bewdley, Worcestershire and then moved on to Walsall.

hi again Doug, Couldn't resist transcribing the quaint spelling of Founder. I've received several certificates with" th" substituted for" f." I guess they pronounced the words that way. Hope you're enjoying your cooler weather...it's sweltering here so think I'll jump into the pool to cool off. Will send certificate copy later. Jan

Hi Jan, Could I beg a copy to please? I have both a MILWARD & a MILLWARD connection in that area, although many years earlier. They both married in to the HANDS family of mine. There are that many family groups theyare a nightmare to sort. Any information at all would be useful. I also have a contact who is also trying to track some down. Would anybody else researching both variant spellings around the area Bromsgrove to Beoley, near Redditch, in Worcestershire, care to contact me please?
