This gentleman is one of my 3rd Great Grandfathers.

There is nothing conrete in I.G.I for his Baptism except an unsupported Individual Record.

Most people put William and Hannah Tonks and his parents and the following as the children of the marriage.

Ambrose Waterhouse Baptised 02 Dec 1821 Oldbury, Worcester, England
Rebecca Waterhouse Baptised 09 May 1819 Oldbury
Mary Waterhouse birth is anywhere from 1823 to 1831....
Charlotte Waterhouse Birth 02 Mar 1824 Baptised 26 Dec 1824 Oldbury
Charles Waterhouse. about 1829, Halesowen.
William Waterhouse. birth and death about 1828, Halesowen.

Can any of these baptisms/births be confirmed?

Was Andrew actually called Ambrose?

The ones where you have an actual date ie day month year can be looked up at
the most likely Oldbury Church
and see occup of father

1841: Freeth St, Oldbury
William Waterhouse 40 Well Sinker
Hannah Waterhouse 45
Andrews Waterhouse 15
Charles Waterhouse 12
Mary Waterhouse 9
All born in County.


He is Andrew on all census and marriage

Just found he is connected to me on my Ford line as well as the Dodd line.

Probably on the Hadley and Tonks lines as well.

What do you want to do re that/those look up/s Mark?

if you want it confirmed and the day month is there we can add it to our list
You need to add it on the list Dudley and Smethwick look ups post here.

and any others with the day month year on can be added to list and of course church

The others with lesser details you could add to the general Look ups section
and see if anyone can do those but I can't add them to the running list we have.

So unless otherwise advised this will be moved to archived section

Rockyfowler has kindly done these look ups for you Mark

Thanks for that.

Leave this up for a day or two till I can attend to it...

Up to my armpits in early Tasmanians at the moment.

You can send this Noah's way now.

There are no Ambrose before or after so I will put it down to one of those "Huh?" moments.
