Thanks, Jay! About time someone had them - I have several sticking points in Birmingham on OH's tree.

Great, thanks.

Wow, I have found some baptisms that I did not have, but not a marriage I am still seeking.

Thanks for letting us know, I never remember to check whats new on ancestry.

Bear in mind that marriages in Register Offices aren't included in these databases.

Hasn't helped me. I'm looking for a Thomas Newey who according to the 1851 census was born in Handsworth c 1774. The records on Ancestry don't seem to list a Thomas from that era. I wonder if some records are missing.

You can browse the Handsworth PR's on there, Marg:
Baptisms and Burials up to 1774
1774 onwards

Some of them are quite hard to make out, though.

There is a Thos, son of George and Ann Newell, baptised 1 Oct 1775 at Handsworth. I wonder if that could be him?

I think its about 1835 ! But I also can't find baptisms for their children ! Or burials, only the husbands second marriage. (1847 - its there, but I already have the certificate and copy of the register)
