Peter The will is Online Document PROB 11/1868 Will of Joseph Bury Farmer Bellbroughton , Worcestershire . Will of Joseph Bury Farmer Bellbroughton , Worcestershire Date: 1836 I don't know Thomas snr's mother because I don't know who Thomas was, except he was a butcher, his age on the 1841 is 60 so he may or may not be the one someone has put in the igi b 1765, (The marriage to Frances Teft is probably correct) his son was 25-30 on the 1841, if i recall correctly so may well be the one born at Belbroughton to Thomas and Frances Teft. In the 1851 the son is 39 b Belbroughton living with a housekeeper called Elizabeth Crane he probably had no brothers and sisters if the IGI is correct. 1851 for the father shows two options Thomas Spilsbury  abt 1781 Feckenham, Worcestershire, England Pauper Bromsgrove, Worcestershire  or The more likely (a proprietor of houses) Name: Thomas Spilsbury Age: 64 Estimated birth year: abt 1787 Relation: Head Spouse's name: Mary Gender: Male Where born: Bewdley, Worcestershire, England Civil parish: Bristol St Philip and St Jacob Ecclesiastical parish: St Luke County/Island: Gloucestershire Country: England Registration district: Clifton Sub-registration district: St Philip and Jacob ED, institution, or vessel: 1q Household schedule number: 129 Household Members: Name Age Thomas Spilsbury 64 Mary Spilsbury 49 Thomas Spilsbury 22 John Spilsbury 20 Louisa Spilsbury 19 Mary Spilsbury 18 Martha Coggin 14 My guess is that Thomas Snr is one of the one's who was born in the 1780's the issue is which one. If he was christened at Bewdley at the presbyterian then the Mary also christened there on the igi could be his sister. However another Spilsbury marries a Berry earlier, I will leave that for now. Mark PS do you have any Spilsburys or Bury's/Berry's in your family ?
