Still searching after all these years for a birthplace for John Dickins born 1772. He was a soldier and farmer, and I have an enormous amount of information about him and his many children, mostly born/baptised at St John's Deritend, Birmingham, Warwickshire or Woodford Grange, Trysull, Staffordshire. These include my great-great-great grandfather George Dickins, baptized 1824 in Trysull.

His son Robert Archibald Dickins carried on farming in Trysull until his death in 1893. He had one son who predeceased him. Other members of the family - Francis Campbel Dickins, Henry Fowler Dickins, George Dickins, had multiple children, and I have details on them all.

Anyone have a stray John Dickins born 1772? The other areas he was associated with are Shropshire, Chelsea and eventually Forton in Staffordshire, which is where he died in 1851.
Thanks!
