I am updating my information on Thomas and Mary Manger and noticed a son James age 5 on the 1851 Census which doesn't show on the Connections tree.

I have tried a search on Ancestry and so far haven't found any birth records.

Can James be confirmed and added to the tree -

Connections suggested it warranted a query.

I had a look for him last time we looked couldn't see anything so can't add him without some kind of proof.

I will let you know if I see anything so he can be added

Could young James be a nephew of Mary Manger? Was Mary's maiden name was Brettle?
There was a James BRETTLE born in 1845 (Dudley Union) with a MMN of TIBBETTS.
Possible parents: Thomas BRETTLE and Elizabeth TIBBETS. In 1851, Elizabeth and her other children are residing in Rowley Regis.
In 1871, there's a James Brettle lodging with a William BRETTELL (nail maker) in Halesowen. But there are many BRETTLE's around, so unsure if he's the same chap.

I know not James but...

I looked this morning at this family after Frodo contacted BCC.
The birth cert, I think NL got belongs to this person

I think something possibly to do with family too...

Have added that info for Charles in notes does look like that is Him
I did wonder if somehow connected to Thomas Manger maybe George and he are bros?

This might be the Tibbetts one ie son James of Elizabeth Tibbetts and Richard Brettell

Personally I don't think James should be added and I think Charles should be disconnected.

Thos Manger, born 22nd April 1797, parents, William and Pamela

28th June 1818. Lutterworth
George Manger, parents, William and Pamila


I think that connects the brothers... ?

George here

George jr

I don't think we can connect James, I'm not sure where he fits in?

Frodo if you could let this thread know if you want this completing please.

Is this still a Brickwall, or have you solved it?

Unless otherwise advised this will be moved to the Brickwalls Archived section
