Just to clarify, Deritend was a district in its own right but it was in Aston for purposes of registration as was other inner city areas and is commonly known as Digbeth or for modern means 'East Side'

St Davids Parish Church,was and still is in Bissel Street,Deritend Birmingham, we lived in a yard (court) at the side of the church,it was part of the district of Aston,

Thanks Heather for finding him on the 1901. It looks like I might have to wait till the 1911 comes out to see what that says. My Chorley family originated in Milverton/Bridgewater/ Bedminster and Wiviliscombe area of Somerset.

Colin that information on boundrary changes will be very useful as a few of my relies come from Birmingham area.

Thanks Crazy Gran for helping me. With your help and Heathers I can also add some new names to his family.

Thankyou all for helping me.

Jane

See above for 1901 Some more kids for you.

Bear in mind when looking at historic records in this part of the country that the boundries changed frequently over the years for example someone born in Aston would have been referred to as being born, Aston, Warwickshire and not Aston, Birmingham as Aston was not absorbed into the city until 1911. To confuse matters even further other inner city areas, namely Vauxhall and Deritend were also districts in their own right but for registration purposes would have been classed as Aston....hope this all makes sense

Oh I have him born in Birmingham. I will have to correct my notes. Thanks for that.

Jane

That made it easier to find them! No sign of your Fred though
