Re: John Chirms
?? Hmmm...
I would think to change the date as of census for now.
Then look of possibles before marriage, is that the only one viable? Needs a bit more checking.

Re: John Chirms
I have corrected date
I have checked all John Churms. Chirms, Churm etc and only one born in right location and date is John Churms/Chirms born 1846 Sedgley/ Coseley son of John Churms and Mary Bayliss

Re: John Chirms
Thanks graingers 14
The name changes to every possible variation of Chirms and Churms and finally latter part of 1800's settles on Chirms . (This is why so hard to track.)
I put on bcc as Chirms as that was what was on site . Possibly should stick to Chirms with note that varies from variations of Chirms and Churms on BMD and Census records

Re: John Chirms
Well, you don't see a Chirm/Churm for ages then 2 come along together.
Anyway, I've been connecting up the Adams girls to Fletcher and Rowe and it turns out their mother is Emma Churms/Chirms here
https://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/t ... onnections
Emma and John Chirms must be sister and brother, coming from Shropshire
I will change Emma to Chirms.
