Sorry Rob, cannot find any census on this family on Ancestry .

That's the Ann Firkin i'm looking for though DT.Thanks

It seems that some people ( on Ancestry) think this may be Ann Firkin.

There are connections.Ann and George Smallwood when they married lived in Lodge Street,Oldbury but Ann's father on her wedding certificate is Jeremiah Firkin.
The name Jeremiah is also in the family though.

1861 Bkackheath Road. Rowley Regis

Joseph Firkin Head 30 Coal Miner Wednesbury
Eliza Wife 31 Oldbury
ANN Daughter 15 Nail Maker Oldbury
Agnes Daughter 7 Oldbury
Mercy Daughter 5 Oldbury
Harriet Daughter Rowley Regis
Ellen Daughter Rowley Regis.

You most likely have this family on your tree , but some trees on Ancestry have Ann , knowing Jeremiah is her father Living with Joseph Firkin. It might just be that this Ann is the same person . If you notice ages of other siblings, their is a gap of eight Years .

On WestMidlands BMD Dated For Births 1845-1849 , There are no Births for Ann Firkin in Oldbury . So where the Census says Oldbury its incorrect , I think it should say Penkridge
