What are the details for Henry / son in 1881 - I can't see them ! the only one I can see is in the Workhouse

possible marriage Stourbridge Dec 1869 6c 308 Henry Fellows to Mary Ann Barker

OK - you say ...'when I first find him in 1881 with my great grandfather his son he has not wife'.... Couldn't you find the BC for son as this would give you wifes/mothers name .....then you could find MC !

I think this is the same family in 1861 - do any of them mean anything? Living in Tipton Sarah Fellows, wife, 48 b. Wednesbury John, son, un, 19, iron refiner b. Wednesbury Henry, son, 13, iron refiner b. Warwicks, Birmingham Thomas, son, 11, forge boy b. Staffs, Potteries Caroline, dau in law, m, 30 b. Staffs, Potteries William, son-in-law(?) 7, scholar, b. Sedgby Sarah, dau-in-law(?) 5, b. Tipton Edward, son-in-law(?) 1, b. Tipton I think the relation from iron refiner to labourer in iron works to tin plater is a logical one since tin is made from iron & steel!

No can't do that as I cant find a wife, when I first find him in 1881 with my great grandfather his son he has not wife and the women he later has childfren with it doesn't appear he married her Joanne

AS Henry Fellows married ........... If so you could get his MC for his fathers name. And get the MC fro Wallace Fellows ..........and see if the names match and say John Fellow s!!

No thats not him and yes I have not been able to find him prior to 1881 Dont mind did try to do that myself but rushed it before putting son to bed Joanne

hope you don't mind Been looking for my g/g/grandfather Henry Fellows born 1849 in Birmingham/Wolverhampton prior to the first time he appears in Sheffield in 1881 The only family that I could find had him listed as a twin with Wallace Fellows Until I could find more proof I left them well alone Till today when I typed in Wallace Fellows ( his potential twin ) on IGI and came up with this----- Name Relation Marital Status Gender Age Birthplace Occupation Disability Wallas FELLOW Head M Male 32 Birmingham Tin Plate Burnisher Ann FELLOW Wife M Female 34 (British Subject), France Tin Polisher Wallace E. FELLOW Son U Male 13 Birmingham Tin Plate Burnisher (Manuf) Emily FELLOW Daur U Female 9 Sheffd, York, England Scholar Charley HALL Visitor U Male 2 Sheffd, York, England Bernard GALLAGER Lodger U Male 21 Ireland Tin Plate Worker Patrick WALIN Lodger U Male 37 Ireland Tin Plate Worker In 1881 my g/g/grandfather Henry is also a tin plate worker, on his son's marriage cert he is of the same occupation and Wallace is also in Sheffield!! The visitor with Wallace is a Charley Hall, in later years I have a charlotte fellows born 1878, who Henry could have fathered with Emma Hall or be step father to her - I know it says male but if they just said Charley instead of Charlotte it could be her!! Do you think I finally have it or is it just co-incidence, or have I finally taken to family grabbing just to fill in the gaps Joanne

Do you mean you can't find him on any census before 1881? Is this him in 1871: living Bilston Henry Fellows, head, m, 23, labourer in iron works, b. Warwickshire, Brimingham Mary A, wife, m, 23 b. Staffordshire, Tipton Sarah, dau, 6 wks or mths?, b. Tipton
