Instances of CAKEBREAD occurrences
in the greater Birmingham
area
I am interested in the movements of CAKEBREAD
families in the English Midlands and this page contains a few notes plus a list
of some records found in Birmingham and surrounding districts. I am aware of 3
families which occurred in:
1. Central Birmingham (connection to Bishops
Stortford, Essex)
2. West Bromwich (connection to Bloxham, Oxfordshire)
(Go to)
3. Shirley and Solihull (connection to
Oxfordshire village of Tadmarton, near Bloxham) (Separate page)(scroll down for lists).
1. Central Birmingham
One 19th Century family attracted my attention on a few occasions,
the family where the middle name Newman occurs. Although I have not made
any specific checks the following information may be worth following up by any
descendants.
PLEASE NOTE: These Birmingham
names have not been researched in detail. The charts and notes have been
deduced from a cursory examination of Census and other records found on the
Internet. Therefore they should only form a rough basis for a full research.
There are some persons who I cannot fit into any
family.
The family of John CAKEBREAD seems to be the main Birmingham
family.
He originally came from the Bishops Stortford area near the borders
of Essex and Hertfordshire and several generations of his ancestors also lived
in Essex.
From information supplied by a descendant of John, his
marriage details state his father was Daniel Cakebread, a
farmer.
John appears on the 1851 Census but not 1871 and was stated to have
been born in Bishops Stratford (this is probably Bishops Stortford,
(Hertfordshire).
John married Catherine Sherriff on the 24 May 1842
at St.Philips, Birmingham and their known children were:
Helen 1844
Birmingham...Helen married James Lyson Nibbs
John 1846 Aston, Staffs...he is
believed to have died in 1857.
Daniel 1849 Aston....possibly married in 1872
in Birmingham
James Newman 1852 Birmingham. He married Caroline Robottom in
1871in Birmingham. (see Chart below)
Hannah 1853 Birmingham...Hannah
married James Dingley on 14 July 1878 at Birmingham.
It seems that John
probably died in 1857 and Catherine remarried only to be widowed again before
1871. The lists below contain a number of records worth following
up.

2. West Bromwich, Staffordshire
A brother of my gt.gt.grandfather moved to West
Bromwich sometime between 1841 and 1851. He was George Cakebread, born
in the village of Bloxham, Oxfordshire in 1815. Like his father he was a Plush
Weaver but when times became particularly hard he moved to Coventry where he
met and married Susannah Beasley in 1840. They soon moved out of the City to
the village of Ryton where son George was born in 1842, but next are found in
West Bromwich in 1851.
PLEASE NOTE: Similar to
Birmingham these notes should only form a rough basis for a full
research.

1st wife | Baginton, Warwickshire | |

In 1851 Census George was living in the Parish
of West Bromwich, District of Churchfield. He was described as an Agricultural
Labourer. With him was his wife Susanna and son George aged 8. Susanna died
about 1864 and George remarried to Elizabeth Bakewell in 1865. In 1871 he was

he was a Beerseller and Brewer. In 1881 George and Elizabeth were living at 100
Hallam Street, West Bromwich. George died in 1885 at West Bromwich.
The
son George cannot be found on Censuses after 1851.
