Hello
Thank you for your prompt reply.
I do have that certificate saya James age 21 father Edward and Rose age 19 father Samuel but on the birth certificates I have the mother is only Rose nee Pearsall. My mother died at 54 before I was interested in Genealogy and also my father.
On the marriage certificate of my mother Edith in 1945 she was 26 it says father deceased. We did not seem to have much to do with Rose something to do with my father he did not allow it.
I cannot prove that these are the correct grandparents.
If I was in Birmingham I would be at the library searching the voters lists .
I know they were in Berkeley road before the war and that James was a gas foreman.
Regards Pam

Just found that according to NA site, there is a Rose Pearsall aged 17, living in Aston, who is an Iron Nail Rivetter?
There don't seem to be any other Pearsalls on the same census sheet.
If she was 17 at the beginning of 1901, she could well have been 19 at the end of 1902!

In 1891, what appears to be that same Rose, was already in Aston, on the same census page as a Samuel born about 1872, in Cheshire.
Maybe someone with full access to Ancestry can give you the complete details.

Thank you very much for your help.
I do have ancestry and have looked. James does not seem to have a middle name.
I would love to claim this family, but cannot prove them relatives, I have moms birth certificate also and a Violet and Alice.
The other siblings were born before the mothers maiden name was listed . I know of a Beatrice and James maybe a Frederick and Lucy but Alice was the only one we had contact with.
Many thanks
Regards Pam

Hi Dudley
Thought I was the only one researching family history in the Bilston area. Five generations of the Harris family including myself were born in Bilston. Very new to this subject so have only got as far back as my great great granddad. born 1828 - died 1866. Names so far -
Abraham Thomas Harris - Father B.1907
Abraham Thomas Harris - Grandfather B.1880
John Henry Harris - Great grandfather B.1851
Abraham Harris -Great great grandfather B.1828
There is a history of work in the steel industry, which was big in the Bilston area in those days, with jobs such as Brass Polisher, Ironworker, Pudler, Iron Furnace Millman shown as occupations on Birth/Death certificates etc. On my grandmothers side Black Japanners are listed occupations.
Other names I will be researching in due course are Martha Ellen Betts, Sarah Hughes and Sarah Caddick, all probably from Bilston as well. There were a lot of family's in Bilston during the 1800's. Between 1801 and 1901 the population grew from 6,914 to 24,034.
Regards
Roy Harris

Hi Roy,
I don't think I've come across any Harris folk connected with my family as yet but we certainly have Furnace labourers and Engineers and Pud(d)lers and many of the girls were Japanners.
The main names I am tracing back in Bilston are McDonough, Dudley and Winchurch but these families married into many more families and seem to have had lots of friends in Bilston too.
I've only been researching just over a year but have learned a lot of history in the mean-time and am very interested in how they lived and worked. I took a walk around the area last summer but a lot of it has disappeared for the Black Country Route and much has been rebuilt. There were still some interesting old buildings and the churches remain but not a lot of the gravestones.
My father's family seems to have moved into Wolverhampton about 1912 but the Dudley line seem to have been in Bilston from before 1800, the Winchurches arriving in the early 1820s and the McDonoughs probably 1851 but there were other McDonough families there before that who may be related too.

Hi Jackie,
not a long shot at all,
Plenty of Durkins and Durkans in the Holy Trinity records but don't seem to have much in my transcriptions. I'll go through the images again as soon as I have time but can't today, I'm sorry. If there are none there I'll look out for them on my next visit to the Archdiocesan archives.
Hi Willow,
I've not been to the main cemetery yet but I now have a grave number for my grandparents and great-grandparents so will do so on my next visit back to the Black Country.

Claire, I have a Thomas Hartill as a godfather in 1887?
I'm very interested in your Mary Dudley. My GGGGrandfather was Benjamin Dudley and he married a Mary Johnson in 1810. Although they had several girls, who all seem to have been baptised in Bilston, none of them were called Mary but if he'd been married before (it doesn't say in the parish record) and already had a Mary, that would make sense. Do you know anything more about her?
Sorry - took my time!
I haven't gone down my tree on the Harthill side so not sure about Thomas - will keep him in mind!
Mary Dudley was born in 1807 in Sedgeley. She married John Nicholls on 30 Jul 1827 in St Peters, Wolverhampton. They had a number of children - Thomas (1829), John (1831), Mary A (1833), Eleanor (1835) all born in Bilston, Jane (1837) (born Leamington), David Dudley (1841) (born Sedgeley), William Dudley (1845), Martha (1847), both born Tipton.
I have no information on her parents, but I hope this info helps!
Claire
