William Hood
« on: Sunday 08 February 09 14:55 UTC (UK) »
Hi,
Help and advise please. I have in my family tree a William Hood born c 1809 Sedgley. Died aged 83 in 1892.
His parents were Joseph Hood and Sophia(Soby) Billingham. THE PROBLEM.

Joseph married Soby 8.4.1799 Halesowen-WORCESTERSHIRE

Daughters Maria bap 26.12.1800 and Ann 3.1.1803 Presbytarian Church Oldbury by Halesowen-SHROPSHIRE

Sons Joseph bap 16.9.1806 and Samuel 19.9.1807 Park Lane Presbytarian Cradley WORCESTER. Their baptism record they were both of the Deepfields in the parish of Sedgley and county of Staffs

William on all census from 1851-91 records birth in Sedgley--STAFFS.
William's baptism does not appear on the IGI.

What counties would folk suggest I search for William.

My family are from this area, I always search in both Worcs and Staffordshire.  Where did they all live on the Census John?  Best Wishes from Linell.

Before 1844, the lord of the manor for Halesowen had his seat in Shropshire, and so the town was included in Shropshire for his convenience. After 1844, it was moved into Worcestershire. You will find that county boundary changes in the area are quite common, so it's always best to check Worcetsershire, Shropshire, or Staffordshire. You'll also find that baptisms and marriages for the area will be scattered across Dudley, Oldswinford, Cradley, Rowley Regis, and even Clent, as well as Halesowen. Dudley churches in particular, used to offer "cut price" marriages to try and stem the number of "over the broomstick" marriages  Grin

Hope that helps
