Kristine: Sorry I have no information on your ancestor, Harry Pegg from Birmingham. From 1837 on there were civil records of births, marriages and deaths in England. Harrry Pegg should appear somewhere here. You can find out where he lived by looking at the censuses. The national census began in 1841. You ancestor should appear on the censuses of 1871,1881, 1891, 2001, 2011. Good luck, David
