If at all possible could some check the 1841 Census for Alvechurch to see if a John ADKINS (Labourer), wife Mary (nee Wolfindale) (age 28) and children John (8), Ann (6) and Emma (1) are about please. I am certain that John dies just before the 1851 Census as Mary is found to be a widow on parish relief in Hopwood, Alvechurch however I am having trouble finding John's birth information as I am not sure whether he was also born in Alvechurch or Warwickshire. Thank you in advance.
