Hi Willow,
I'm nowhere near getting all the "M"s done on the index yet but Holy Trinity church opened on Thursday 11th september 1834, or so it says in the registers. Before that Bilston was served as a mission, I think, perhaps from Sedgley and their registers are almost unreadable.
I'll add him to my list to look out for but not likely to get back to the archives for another month or two, as I'm really busy with other things at present.
sorry,
Sheila

Hello there ..... Today I found your very interesting thread ....... and having read thro the postings, stopping off along the way to check out the numerouse links in the hope of finding my elusive ancestors, without any joy, I wonder if there's any chance there's someone else researching my branch of the JONES family lol phew there are so many!!!!
My g.grandfather BENJAMIN GARBETT b. 1842 Dawley Green married JANE JONES b. abt 1842 Priestfields/Bilston 21.06.1863 Parish Church, Sedgley (have the m.cert) the cert records Jane's father as JOHN JONES miner. Jane's residence at the time of the marriage is recorded as Lanesfield.
I believe JOHN JONES married Annes Davis 3/5/1840 Wolvs (record found 'familysearch' and 'freereg') ..... JOHN JONES, his wife Ann and family -Sarah 1840 Priestfiled, Jane 1842 Priestfield (my g.grandmother) Emma 1844 Bilston, John Thomas 1847 Bilston, Elizabeth 1853 Bilston, Joseph1855 Oldbury, Richard 1860 Bilston, and William1861 I have found on the 1841C Priestfilds, 1851C Gibbets Lane, Bilston 1861C Fleece Row, Bilston ..... then nothing  .... they all seem to have disappeared!!!! As there are so many Jones's it is difficult to find any records of death and I sure cant afford to send for each JOHN JONES death in Wolvs after 1863! Maybe they emigrated but my sub at Ancestry doesn't include access to relevant records! I am awaiting Jane GARBETT'S nee Jones's m death.cert to Benjamin Garbett in the hope that this will give me a clue.
So if anyone else is researching this branch of Jones's or if anyone can help me I will be truly, truly grateful.
Ever hopeful
Polly

Hi I am trying to research family members who lived in the Moxley area (very near to Bilston) - in particular the surname Brookes. I am sorry if this is not the way to get in touch with people - I have only just joined - but could DudleyWinchurch please let me know which Brookes he/she is researching. My family line is the William Henry Brookes line (lived in Bull lane in 1901 onwards) and had sons by the name of William/George/Albert to name a few.
The links which people have been posting are very useful too thank you!

Hi N.Millward,
welcome to RootsChat.
This thread is for discussion about the various families in the Bilston area and their interconnctions so your query is fine here although, for a wider audience, you could start a new thread with your particular family names in the heading.
My Brookes connection is my great-great-grandmother Fanny Brookes who married George Winchurch in Tipton in 1821 but, according to the censuses, she was born in Madeley or Madeley Wood in Shropshire about 1803.

Hi, Hope you can help. We are trying to find any records for my wifes gg grandfather, George Rowley, born about 1810 in Bilston, Staffs. He married a local girl from Llansilin, Denbighshire, N. Wales, in 1832. She died and he remarried in 1842 in Wrexham. According to the marriage certificate his father was called John Rowley, occupation, Collier. His year of birth is calculated from the census returns of 1851-1871 so it could be one or two years out I suppose. Thanks in anticipation. Gwyn

Hi everyone - going back to the many and varied Jones families of Bilston, I'm descended from Ann Jones, born in/around 1822 at Bilston. She married at St Peter's Wolverhampton in 1844, and her father is very inconveniently shown in the register simply as J.Jones, a puddler, which gives me plenty of choice but nothing concrete to go on.
Has anyone come across a John/Joseph/James/Job/Jeremiah etc Jones working as a puddler in the town in the 1820s? It's like looking for a needle in a very large haystack!
Cheers

Hi juidijee,
my sincere condolences. I have a John Jones (too young to be yours, I'm afraid) as a visitor on one of the censuses and remember going through all of Bilston on one of the censuses a while ago (I think it was the 1841) and finding a John Jones on pretty much every page.
There was a chartist leader called John Jones and I began to wonder if it was some elaborate scheme to hide him.

I think I'l have to return the anonymous J.Jones to the back-burner for a while.
