thanks Fs odd isnt it
I have found a poss birth for him
1851
PORTMAN Thomas Halesowen Dudley Register Office HAL/010/476
but not one for Joseph Portman not around 1854 Halesowen area
he puts age 20 on that marriage in 1874 12 Sept
so b 1853 birthday after Sept 12
or
b 1854 b before 12 Sept
and there just isnt one for mids area
Is he that Joseph..

that is the one I looked up here is link
http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... =130487285I think this is our Thomas
age is a bit out
as on census coming out b 1851
but as I say cant find a Joseph Portman that fits
the names Robert Byng /Swithen/Ellen/ Bertha all link back to that family and the marriage for dau Elizabeth byng
is it an error on the marriage cert do we think?
do we join up?
do I get birth cert
I am off this now got to do some work...
good one this thread ...mumbles where are ya!

Thanks FS
Rite I am convinced that Eliza unknown is our Eliza
just looked on the 1891 and she and Thomas are living next door to Swithen
the clues are all there
so I am joining up
anyone think otherwise do say...
ps still not sure on Joseph/Thomas
must be one and the same
need to crack that

Its quite possible that they put Thomas by mistake in the 1881 census.

Thomas Portman appears on the -:
81 born abt 1851 Halesowen
91 born abt 1851 Halesowen
1901 born abt 1854 Halesowen
Just don't see him before this.. or Joseph for the matter..
