Is there anybody who could perhaps help look up on the 1841 census who lived at 24 Newhall Street, Birmingham. I cannot find them on Genes but perhaps somebody has access to a programme who can look up addresses.

Many thanks

Only on findmypast can address searches be done for any census other than 1881

Who are you looking for?

Where did you get the address?

I am trying to find a family of Tomkinsons particularly Ebenezer Tomkinson he would have been in his 20's in 1841. I can not find any details on him until 1851 Census at which time he has several children and a "wife" called Caroline (i can't find any evience for this marriage) but I beleive caroline to be too young to be the mother of the younger children she would have only been about 16 so I applied for what I think is the eldest childs birth certifcate George Tomkinson born 13 August 1840. Parents are Ebenezer and Eliza Tomkinson born at 24 Newhall Street, Birmingham.

The informant is Samuel Hawkesford (occupier 24 Newhall Street) Hawkesford is Eliza's maiden name. I am hoping they are living here in 1841 and there is just a transcription error why i can not find.

Just in passing, I think Ebenezer might only be 30 in 1851 - what do others think?

Thanks for your help Your info ties in with mine for 51 and 61 so that is good, the addresss for 1841 should have read 24 Vauxhall Street, which makes much more sense , I miss read my 1800's writing!

Also no Caroline's name was Broadly and Eliza's name was Hawesford.
Can anybody find it please

Thanks for the posting it does look as though this group of people could tie in and Tomkinson is often miss transcriped although I think this Eliza might me the mother of my Eliza as she seems a bit old.

That was sneaky, Andrea, changing your posting about the person whose maiden name was Hawkesford.

Cheerio

Andrea Report 24 Mar 2010 12:53

thank you Brummagan,

My problem with this entry is I am not sure there was only one set of Eliza and Ebenezer's which seems very strange I know because if you loom on the IGI there are two entries for George Tomkinson one with a birth in 1840 which is my certificate I think although there are not parents names on the IGI and also another entry two years later for a birth and then 6 months after that baptism record both with parent Eliza and Ebenezer tomkinson - I can not find a death for the first one and why would you name two sons the same name?

This link in my research is really confusing!!

Thanks flick for the correction - there are that many names sometimes you get confused going backwards and forwards all the time. I have been researching my family for 15 years now and this is the hardest link I have ever had even with everybodies help.
