              you can search the Birmingham marriages by going to the catalogue
              https://www.ancestry.co.uk/search/co...8&father=james

              If you tick must be James it brings no matched. It could be mistranscribed, so need to look through list.

                Thank you so much for helping me with this, I constantly feel like I am getting nowhere and have to take a break before I throw the PC out the window. How do you find the births with the MMN?

                I've used the information I have in my tree, the names you gave me above and then looked on GRO. I've put all this together into a table and come out with any more questions than when I started!

                1. there are names which cannot be found on GRO
                2. there are names on GRO which are not anywhere else
                3. there are some differences in DOB
                4. there are some 'issues' with Eliza / Elizabeth with various DOB's

                      I use FMP (not foolproof but a good start - and don't have to be a subscriber) just to get a list of names and dates and then GRO - guidance here:

                        Hello

                        Did you ever contact the Birmingham Archives re possible Guardians records relating to why the girls ended up in St Joseph? It is possible the girls entered the workhouse (Birmingham or Aston) first. Seem to recall a post saying their religion was RC and info that the Guardians would have contributed financially to their stay at St Josephs

                        I did wonder if Lilley having had a child die in 1911 became depressed and ended up a long term patient in the local mental hospital ie Birmingham City Asylum, Winson Green. I can see female patients in the 1939 but so far not your Lilley.

                        Do you know who the Ada Baker EDIT Wheeler was as witness on Lilley's and George's mc? Wondered if Lilley reciprocated when and if Ada married. Stretching it a bit I know.

                          This might work and should take you to the search for Miller and maiden name Cr*well. You will need to register on FMP first - no need to subscribe.
                          https://www.findmypast.co.uk/search/...mity=5&sid=999

                          It will give you this list:

                          Miller Hannah 1842 Birmingham, Warwickshire, England
                          Miller Mary Ann 1844 Birmingham, Warwickshire, England
                          Miller Eliza 1846 Birmingham, Warwickshire, England
                          Miller Elizabeth 1848 Birmingham, Warwickshire, England
                          Miller Sarah 1852 Birmingham, Warwickshire, England
                          Miller George Frederick 1854 Birmingham, Warwickshire, England
                          Miller Jane 1857 Birmingham, Warwickshire, England
                          Miller Fanny Maria 1861 Birmingham, Warwickshire, England
                          Miller Laura J 1866 Birmingham, Warwickshire, England

                          this is the parents Mary Ann Miller - you can get all details from GRO with this list.

                          Teasie has all the details of Mary Ann and Samuel Wheeler.

                          Fairly sure Ada is the grandchild, not daughter dates fit see my comments re 1881 post 84 I think the same for some of the others that you can't locate.

                            Just checked and it is Ada Wheeler, and she could be George's sister, see posts above. Can't find a parish marriage - couple of possibles in 1901 and 1902

                              Will look anyway for Ada's mc. Was hoping she might have married in later life with Lilley her witness. Ever the optimist.

                                Like you I am hoping that she may crop up. Or like you say she "ended up a long term patient in the local mental hospital "

                                I also think that family 'lore' is often not correct.

                                eg My Dad was told by his father that he didn't have any contact with his mother (Dads grandmother) and he never saw her, but on finding a boxful of documents that Dad had kept turned out that his father had registered the death in the 1950s, so all very strange.

                                  They kept things 'private' back in the day. Maybe not a bad thing but I am saddened that my mother talked little about her family, especially my great grandmother. I have unearthed a lot and now understand why. Still the best mother to me.

                                  Hope some little thing will crop up to help find Lilley

                                    not finding anything concrete on Ada, a couple of marriages and a servant in Bournemouth 2 years different on birth year - who knows.

                                    Harry Williams is one husband, and some trees on ancestry have him, but nothing to say it is the right Ada.

                                      my Grandmother never spoke of her family either and as you say they 'didn't talk' about family and forebears, it was just something that wasn't spoken about perhaps true victorian values there.

                                        Not contacted the archives at Birmingham Library yet, but planning to get in touch. Potentially a good call on the wellbeing front. Lily lost her parents and her first son at roughly the same timeframe, then her last daughter. This would take a toll on many people.

                                        Ada Wheeler on Lily mc is her new husband (George) sister. The other witness is Ada's husband. Not found the mc for them, but have been in contact with a few other people on Ancestry regarding the Williams line and they have given me some photos and info etc.
