Thanks for your response to my enquiry about my family in the Birmingham area. You mentioned a marriage between Elizabeth Harbourne and an Unknown Jeffries, however you did not mention the date of the marriage. It must have been after my James Harborne was born on 19 February 1829, as the St. Phillips parish records show herbeing a single woman then. If you have more information on this marriage could you forward it to me.My research turned up a James Jeffries born in the same parish and the same year as Elizabeth so I suspect he may be the father of my James. The way the Bastardy Bonds apparently worked at that time meant that James would have the middle name of Jeffries, which he apparently had. By the way, the date you gave for the marriage of William Harbourne and Hannah Taylor may be wrong as I have them marrying on 15 December 1804.
Thanks again, I am hoping to learn more as we go along.
