I am begining to wonder if it is the 1879 birth. It is Toy but she might not have known if it was Toye or Toy

What address is shown on the birth certificate?

Researching:
Don't put off until tomorrow doing what you can do today. If you like doing it today you can do it again tomorrow. Be kind to your children for it is they who will decide which care home you end up in.

Looks like Back 6 Coleman Street Aston

Coleman Street in 1881 was a rabbit warren of Courts each containing several houses some of them "Back" houses. Back houses were very common in Birmingham right up until the 1950's. Basically a back house is a single dwelling which is divided into two with one set of occupants living in the front portion whilst another occupies the rear.

The 1881 census can be searched by address but there does not appear to be any Toy or Toye families amongst the residents of the street.

Thank you all for your help and information. I can confirm that the Caroline some of you have found is the one on my certificate. But I still don't know if it is the correct Ada. Thanks again
