I managed to find Henry on the 1841 but Ann wasn't with him, neither was Henry living at the address where Thomas was born.
Unfortuntely the IGI has a gap in the christening dated between 1825 & 1829 which is probably when Ann was born.

Sorry for late reply, got called into work. The address on Thomas's birth cert is Middle Row, presume that is in Willenhall

Lynda I'm back now. I'm assuming that you have Thomas' birth cert, is it the one for Q2 1843 Wolverhampton.
Please can you let me know what's on there? An address would be useful if it's on there.

There is always the possibility that Ann died before the 1851 census. That could be one explanation for finding everyone else but her.

Yes, that is my Thomas. He was bought up by his uncle Henry, he put Henry down as his Father on his marriage cert. I have Thomas and his family on every census until his death, and then his wifes. It's Ann his mother I am having a prob with

I've got to go to work too, catch you later Kath
Lynda if you post as much as you know someone may be able to help. What none of us want you to do is waste any more money.

Morning Claire,

You've just caught me - I'm off now as I've been here all morning, lol

Morning to you Kath,

Yes, I know thats why I am hoping that there is something on the cert that will confirm she is "mine"

Oh, I see. However I don't really know how you will know which is yours without knowing more about the family.

Kath. x

I have bought the certs yet, they are on order, but in the wolverhampton district there was a number of John Phillips with daughters called Ann

In that case what makes you think that any you have bought are not the right one?

Kath. x

Yes, have put her Fathers name on

When you are ordering marriage certificates, are you giving her father's name as a checking point? It will cost you less this way, as they won't send ones where the father is called something else.

Have you found her son Thomas in any census or do you think his name was changed when she married?

Kath. x

No, don't know her married name, thats why I have sent of for marriage certs for Ann Phillips. I have found her parents on every census, until their deaths, and have found her siblings, but not her

Do you know her married name? Have you found her on a later census?

Kath. x

I really have no idea, I think she got married before the 1851 census, after Thomas birth

In the 1851 census is she the one living in Fenton?
