Have never been able to find a definate birth for my rellie Joseph Firkins brn abt 1833 in either Stafford or Worcester, his father being a waterman. I now have Josephs wedding cert, his father is confirmed as Jeremiah and he got married at Handsworth Staffs in 1855 with John and sarah Firkins as witness's, but the prob I have is; as I have never been able to find Josephs birth how do I find his mother. At present I have two "contenders" Hannah and Sarah. |

You need to be looking for a baptism in the parish records if he isn't on the IGI but as you don't know where he was born, it could be quite difficult! |

Cannot find him on the 1841, or 1851 census. Have found marriage for Jeremiah and sarah wagstaff, and jeremiah and hannah hill. |

Claire, thanks for that but I don't think it is him, his Father is definately jeremiah. |
