Ok,
A search on Ancestry for John Toy on the 1841 Census in Halesowen brings up two results.

William Toy 2
Living on
Long LaneJohn Foy(Toy) b abt 1801William Foy 20
Thomas Foy 15
John Foy 15
George Foy 11
Joseph Foy 9
Samuel Foy 7
Sarah Foy 5
Living on ? Can't quite make it out.
http://search.ancestry.co.uk/iexec?htx= ... id=9544163a further check on this John in the 1851 census gives me the following:
John Toy b abt 1798Jane Toy 35 (young wife?, not present on previous census)
Joseph Toy 18
Samuel Toy 16
Sarah Toy 14
Enoch Toy 1
Sarah Ann Roberts 6 (from Jane's marriage?)
Mary Baker 15 (?)
I mention that last listing because I think it proves that the John Foy of 1841 census is John Toy.
Ok, I'll try and see if I can find any marriages and birth certificates if possible, although they never started till 1837.
