Looked for Mary Anslow on 41 found a servant but it says born in Stafford so I'm not sure about her
Dartmoor sorry I haven't got anyone with any of those variations  I thought my Diment/Dimont /Diment/ Dyment/Daymond/Dayman s were bad enough poor you I wish you sooo much luck with them

Thanks again Trees.
Another lead to follow up. Since I joined Rootschat a couple of weeks ago I have that many leads I don't know which to follow up first in the time I have available. Rootschat is providing valuable information. It has already enabled me to identify my fathers wartime regiment, Lancashire Fusiliers, all within a few days of posting a request on Rootschat, and a Regimental message board where I can post requests for further information, because other than a single coloured photo of him in uniform and very vague childhood memories I have very little knowledge of his WW2 service and it would be nice to put some flesh on the bones as it were which I am now starting to do.

I think that family history is not just about establishing a list of ancestors but also about building as much knowledge as possible making the subject come alive and much more interesting

So right Rode first find the names then find as much as you can about them we are enjoying finding the ancestors wills you'll be surprised how many ordinary folk left wills and what they thought important to distribute One ?xgtgran left her best tea tray to one daughter and her flock mattress to a son  Smiley. We are also looking in parish chest papers poor law etc and parish apprenticeships military records can be very usefull too we know how tall one gt gt grandfather was at 19 the colour of his eyes and even his complexion all wonderful stuff to make your tree more interesting than just a list of names and dates. Don't forget occupations and migrations why did they leave X for Y often leads to the National situation  Be warned is a hobby that just grows and grows  Its all adding flesh to the bones But first you need the skeleton Oh dear you've got me on a roll, I hope you enjoy the hunt as much as we do.

Here we go again.
You're right it becomes compulsive. It's started to make me look for information on Bilston generally because although I spent my first 21 years there before moving on I know so little about it's history. I take your point about wills. I know my father didn't leave one but my grandfather on my mothers side almost certainly did as he had a small builders busines up to the early sixty's so another avenue to explore. Just started my wife tracing her side of the family but still in its very early stages.

Hi Oldsplice,
 do you have (even approximate) dates of birth for your William and Thomas?   I am researching some Broadbents from Brewood at the moment.  Was it a very common name there do you know?

Hi Dudley,

William was born 24th February 1855 at 51 Queen Street, Bilston.

Thomas was born 1830/1831 at Brewood and married Elizabeth Boddis at St. Peter's, Wolverhampton on 1st June 1846.

Thomas's father was Samuel Broadbent, locksmith. There seem to be a few Broadbents around Bilston, Brewood and Willenhall. My grandmother (William's daughter) was born in West Brom.

Hi

I am researching three familes from bilston..William & Lucy Thomas, Richard Cullis and Joesph Pearson, these are all connected to my tree They are all on the census in Bilston for 1871.. very interesting thread, I am going back to see if i have missed any of my families from the pages already written.

The Thomas family moved to Pendlebury as did Richard Cullis - they came during the miners strike to work in the pits in Pendlebury when the local miners were striking..around 1875/1880

Hi to everyone researching families in the Bilston area. For information and for anyone interested I have discovered that there is a series of books titled 'Bilston, Bradley & Ladymoor' by Ron Davies that contains historical information and old photographs of the area.  All are available from Amazon.
