The area that I am concentrating on is obviously Halesowen, rather than Quinton because it was under the Halesowen parish up until 1840s.
Now I don't really know the area as well as some so some of these I may be able to discount.
William Toy d 1805 - Halesowen 13 June 1805 William Toy burd
William Toy d 1857 - Stourbridge
William Tay d 1805 - Halesowen 10 Feb 1805 William Tay burd
William Tew d 1864 - Stourbridge
William Toy b 1772 d 1819 - Worcester
William Toy b 1733 d 1817 - Birmingham
William Toy b 1804 d 1829 - Worcester
William Toy b 1811 d 1857 - Kingswinsford
William Toy b 1801 d 1825 - Birmingham
Those are the only bits I can add here. The older records don't help much for burials. Some burials of that period are indicated as infants, so I think you can assume that these 1805 burials were not infants.

So two William Tay then is probably not a typo so I can perhaps remove him.

That whole Toy/Tay thing is a pain. I noticed one baptism entry at Halesowen
21 June 1833 Hannah do John and Rosanna Toy als Tay, Long Lane, nailer
so that indicates that the Toy/Tay thing is not just a possible transcription error, but an actual alias/alternative spelling at the time.
You probably knew that any way.

What does Hannah do John and Rosanna Toy mean? I take it als means an alias?
I have evidence that my ancestors were Nailers.
