Underhill's of Birmingham, Warwickshire.
My Mother was Dorothy Margaret Underhill (1924-1877) and I have traced the family back to John Underhill c.1818 with any certainty, but seem to have hit a brick wall there and can't get back any further.
According to John's Death Certificate, he was 56 when he died in 1877, which puts his birth at 1818.
On John and his wife Emma's Marriage Certificate, (27/8/1838) John's father John is listed as a Glassmaker and the only Glassmaker I can find on the 1841 census is living in Dudley.
As the surname and occupation (Glassmaker) are not that common, I'd guess this is the same family, but John is listed on the census' as being born in Birmingham Warwickshire, but all of John the Glassmaker's children were born in the Dudley area of Staffordshire, which makes me doubt if this is the correct family.
If anyone else is tracing the same family I'd be greatful of any light you could throw on this for me please.
Thanking you
Steve Jones
