    Question Jane Plant born 1775, father Henry Plant.

    Still looking for birth / Baptism of Jane Plant 1771 to 1775, father Henry Plant according to Bible.

    She married John Norton in Birmingham, Warwickshire, England.

    This is my 'brick-wall', and help welcome. Thank you.

    You need to get the original copy from the parish registry entry . it might say which parish of and witness . They married at St. Martins Birmingham .

    How do you know that Henry is her father?

    check this link for parish records genuki.org.uk


    Found on familysearch.org a Henry Plant birth 7 oct 1752 Saint Phillips Birmingham Warwick Parents Robert Plant and Jane , This could be a possibility of Janes grandparents .

    Hi Hazelnut - Family Bible states that Jane Plant's father was Henry.

    Henry died 1823 in Birmingham, a few days after his daughter Jane Norton 1775-1823 [ nee Plant].

    We think that the Pearl Button Factory in Birmingham [ Info Source:- The Memoires of John Norton, son of Jane Norton nee Plant ] was belonging to the Plant's, and not the Norton's as we first thought.
    It was most likely to be a 'cottage-industry' type of manufacturing, rather than a factory.

    Hello Bumper

    We think that the Pearl Button Factory in Birmingham [ Info Source:- The Memoires of John Norton, son of Jane Norton nee Plant ] was belonging to the Plant's, and not the Norton's as we first thought.
    Have you been on books.google.co.uk? I typed in Pearl Button Factory Birmingham and up came a number of publications on the subject together with verbatim from persons in the trade, you will alos find some Trade Directories

    Thanks, this indeed could be Jane Plant's father and Grandparents. Henry Plant birth 7 Oct 1752 Saint Phillips Birmingham Warwick. Parents Robert Plant and Jane nee Steedman married 1721 at Keele. Henry's father must have been about 50 years old when Henry was born ??
