A person should have an opinion on everything, It becomes tact whether you reveal that opinion or not.

Re: Rob's little Firkin query
I don't think Joseph is the son of Zephaniah:
An Ancestry tree has Joseph Firkin, the son of Zephaniah Firkin and Sarah Horton, marrying Zillah Franks and migrating to Australia where he died in Sydney in 1911 -
On checking, NSW BDMs does have the registration of:
1911 FIRKIN Joseph
Father: Zephaniah
Mother: Sarah
died at Manly
Deaths for children of Joseph and Zillah Firkin in NSW:
John H 1900 at Leichhardt
Samuel 1912 at Drummoyne
William E 1923 at St. Leonards
Alfred Alexander 1937 at Granville
Albert James 1943 at Granville
Death: Zillah Firkin 1914
Father: Isaac
died at Manly
Another possibility of parents for Joseph are Hezekiah Firkin (brother of Zephaniah) and Maria Mason, here?:

Re: Rob's little Firkin query
I still wonder if he was agnes's son
there is this bapt...23 Oct 1831 - All Saints, West Bromwich Joseph, son of Joseph and Sarah Firkin of Wittons Lane, Collier .......
but Joseph and Sarah would be too Old to have him...
maybe she died and they took him in
if I could find a marriage I could look it upsee who father was
the Hezekiah bapt for Joseph I think is 1835 harborne

Re: Rob's little Firkin query
The Joseph baptised in 1835 at Harborne to parents Hezekiah & Mary died in 1836, but there is still a Joseph aged 10 with Hezekiah and Maria in 1841. So these cannot be the same Joseph. Are there 2 Hezekiah Firkins, one who married a Mary and one who married a Maria?

Re: Rob's little Firkin query
But we don't knot that that death is correct
for that Joseph
might be for another one found in the PRs when transcribing

Re: Rob's little Firkin query
So we could add this
1851
At Witton Square, W. Bromwich
Thomas Whitehouse Head 48 Boat Loader b. Staffs., Tipton
Maria Whitehouse Wife 41 b. Staffs., Wednesbury
Enoch Firkin Stepson 13 Gas Tubing Fitter b. Staffs., West Bromwich
Thomas Whitehouse Son 12 Collier b. Staffs., West Bromwich
John Firkin Stepson 10 Scholar b. Staffs., West Bromwich
Joseph Whitehouse Son 9 b. Staffs., West Bromwich
Benjamin Firkin Stepson 8 b. Worcs., Oldbury
do we have a death for hezekiah
and would that Joseph in 1841 then not be theirs?
age 10 in 1841
then that other one bapt 1835 poss belongs to another Hez and maria
1851
At Witton Square, W. Bromwich
Thomas Whitehouse Head 48 Boat Loader b. Staffs., Tipton

Re: Rob's little Firkin query
We need that marriage for Joseph Firkin and Eliza Roberts
but I do think it is the same Joseph
he is either son of Hezekiah and Maria
or
son of agnes
I think this is his bapt
23 Oct 1831 - All Saints, West Bromwich Joseph, son of Joseph and Sarah Firkin of Wittons Lane, Collier
taken in by g.parents
then maybe looked after by uncle and aunt
Joseph calls dau agnes
he is b abt 1830 wednesbury
but can't link
so going to flag to archive
