Hello, In January 1861 my ggparents Samuel Bonner Kersey and Jane Powell Kersey moved from West Bromich to Briton, Birmingham. I am unable to find a Briton in Birmingham in my 1983 Ordnance map. Does anyone know where that is and how I should search for them on the 1961 census? Sharon in Oregon slcrow@mighty.net Searching Kersey, Bonner, Powell in that vicinity.

Hi Sharon Have never heard of a Briton in or near Brum but suspect its a transcription/enumeration type error Let us know the source and perhaps you may get more suggestions As to the whereabouts of your Samuel (in 1861 I presume you mean?)

They are at 3 Broad Lane, Kings Norton, Worcestershire as Kearsey; RG09 Piece 2119 Folio 59 Page 12. Samuel's birthplace is given as Stoke on the Line, Oxfordshire (almost certainly Stoke Lyne, a few miles north of Bicester). Image sent off-list. In the Oxfordshire marriage index there is a William Kearsey married Ann Bonor at Stoke Lyne in 1795, and a Samuel Bonner Keazey married Mary Jenks at Stoke Lyne in 1828. These are transcriptions, of course, and I don't know is that is how they really appear in the registers.
