Joseph Firkin b 1831

http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... =437512526

marries Eliza Unknown
possibly her name is Roberts but don't know...

1851 Stone Street,Oldbury
Joseph Firkin head 20 Coal Miner b.Wednesbury,Staffs
Eliza Firkin wife 21 b.Oldbury
Ann Roberts dauginlaw 5 b.Oldbury


I think he connects to this family
http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... i=26837071

and is the Joseph there in 1841 aged 10

2 bapts looked up
Joseph Firkin -23 Oct 1831 - All Saints, West Bromwich Joseph, son of Joseph and Sarah Firkin of Wittons Lane, Collier
and
Mary Ann Firkin...20 April 1834 All Saints West Bromwich Mary Ann, daur of Zephaniah and Sarah Firkin of Wittons Lane - Collier

Now Joseph and Sarah would be too Old to have Joseph b 1831
http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... =540352165

doesn't look like they have a son Joseph Firkin
but
they do have a dau Agnes Firkin
and
Joseph who marries Eliza calls his dau Agnes
and
Zephania calls his dau Agnes

so that name is common to both groups

Could the Name Joseph be incorrect /mistrans and should say Zephania?

can anyone see a marriage for Joseph firkin
the Picken one to elizabeth Roberts is deffo Picken I checked with regis office

really stuck on this

This could be Sarah unknown on BCC.
Joseph Ferkin.
Bride's Name Sarah Guttridge.
Marriage Date 03 Jan 1786.
Marriage Place All Saints,West Bromwich,Stafford.
