Was Samuel born in Cradley, Worcestershire?
If so, I think I made have found him on the 1851 census:
7 Court Bow Street, St Thomas, Birmingham:
Samuel Garret Head 45 Chair Maker born Cradley, Worcestershire
Matilda Garret Wife 43 Annuitant born Birmingham
Samuel Garret Son 13 Scholar born Birmingham
Abraham Garret Son 11 At Home born Birmingham
William Garret Son 9 Scholar born Birmingham
Venus? Garret Son 7 Scholar born Birmingham
Is it possible that Christie had died prior to the 1851 Census? I have not been able to find any trace of her death, though.
I notice from looking at the GRO Index on gro.gov.uk that the maiden name of the mother of Abraham and William was Price, but am unable to find any trace of Venus.
