I started a thread last week with information re detheridge family, i cant seem to find it now but never the less i am supplying further info

birth certificate
4 april 1867 thomas gittins father thomas mother sarah formerly baker district of dudley

children of thomas and sarah gittins both of grat bridge ,tipton, staffordshire
isabella b 30 sept 1857 d 17 july 1866
thomas b 22 dec 1858 d 25 july 1866
sarah amelia b 28 june 1860
william b 20 april 1862 d 17 july 1866
john b 31 aug 1865
frederick b 17 july 1867
thomas b 4 april 1868

Can someone have a look to see if something catastrophic happened to this family in July 1866 it seems odd to lose 3 children in one month?

marriage cert
1 july 18566
thomas gittins age 24 batchelor of wbrom a office worker father John gittins miner
sarah baker age 24 spinster of w brom father charles baker moulder
witnesses william barton and elizabeth barton

marriage cert 8 july 1886

i will have to look for other certificates i have copies of

Is it this one in the Archive?
viewtopic.php?f=31&t=11337&hilit=detheridge

If you use the search button on the top right of a page you can search for threads there.
If your post has been on here its likely to be in Black Country archived topics. You can go directly to that from the archive general discussion too.

Unlees it has been some sort of accident and a report made of it, you wont be able to find out why they died unless you buy the death certs...

Until i can get to my mothers house i dont think there are any more documents i have copies of

Ive added the census and children and given possible dates of death as freebmd...
I think it would be good to look at the correct dates because it doesnt seem to fit right?

http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... =267747248

flagging to archive this one for moment
Zircon pm me if you get the correct dates and I will prod Jo
as she has kindly added this

maybe just start a new thread if it involves a different Detheridge line
or a new Detheridge name
