Hi

Requesting/offering information on the following Birmingham families:

BRUFF 1750-1914 (possibly Staffs prior to 1750)
UNITE 1500-1800

The UNITEs go back to the very beginning of the St. Martin's registers,
disappear c. 1670, then reappear with the marriage of Richard UNITE in 1775.
When I was at Birmingham Central Library last year I remarked to one of the
librarians that they seem to have disappeared into a black hole, and she
replied, 'Yes, it's called the vicars of St. Martin's'.

Were the St. M's registers indifferently kept during this period, does
anyone know?
