Thanks, Jay! About time someone had them - I have several sticking points in Birmingham on OH's tree.

Wonderful:-)

[Mary from Italy]

Great, thanks.

[marquette]

Wow, I have found some baptisms that I did not have, but not a marriage I am still seeking.

Thanks for letting us know, I never remember to check whats new on ancestry.

[Mary from Italy]

Bear in mind that marriages in Register Offices aren't included in these databases.

Hasn't helped me. I'm looking for a Thomas Newey who according to the 1851 census was born in Handsworth c 1774. The records on Ancestry don't seem to list a Thomas from that era. I wonder if some records are missing.

You can browse the Handsworth PR's on there, Marg:
Baptisms and Burials up to 1774 (http://interactive.ancestry.co.uk/4961/40458_316642-00081?backurl=http%3a%2f%2fsearch.ancestry.co.uk%2 fsearch%2fdb.aspx%3fdbid%3d4961%26path%3d&ssrc=&backlabel=ReturnBrowsing#?imageId=40458_316642-00160)
1774 onwards
(http://interactive.ancestry.co.uk/4961/40458_316642-00081?backurl=http%3a%2f%2fsearch.ancestry.co.uk%2 fsearch%2fdb.aspx%3fdbid%3d4961%26path%3d&ssrc=&backlabel=ReturnBrowsing#?imageId=40458_316642-00163)

Some of them are quite hard to make out, though.

There is a Thos, son of George and Ann Newell, baptised 1 Oct 1775 at Handsworth. I wonder if that could be him?

Bear in mind that marriages in Register Offices aren't included in these databases.

I think its about 1835 ! But I also can't find baptisms for their children ! Or burials, only the husbands second marriage. (1847 - its there, but I already have the certificate and copy of the register)

[Mary from Italy]

Try searching for the Christian name only; in a lot of the PRs that Ancestry's put online recently the transcriptions are dreadful, and loads of surnames have been omitted.

Bear in mind also that they may have been non-conformists.

Woohoo. I finally have confirmation of my 3g grandfathers baptism and his parents. JayG has become my favourite person today. :)

[kiterunner]

These have been updated.

The Birmingham Baptisms, Marriages and Burials 1538-1812 have just been updated. I don't know what has been added (if anything).
