Wednesbury, Walsall, West Brom??
« on: Tuesday 16 June 09 13:48 UTC (UK) »
I have family who were in Staffordshire around the 1870s.  Although they were at the same address
for a couple of years at least, it is variously described as Walsall, Wednesbury and West Bromwich.

I want to try and work out where they may have been baptised and don't know where to begin.

The actual address that I have is Court Dale Street, Wednesbury.  Throughout his life my Great Grandfather, who was born at that address, always entered himself on the census as having been born in Walsall.

I would be grateful if anyone with local knowledge could help me out.

Thanks,

Elin

Hi Jackie,

Thanks for your reply.

I have two brothers, Joseph my 3 x Grandfather and his brother Henry, they moved to Staffs from Wotton Under Edge in Gloucestershire, sometime in the 1850s.

Joseph and his wife Louisa Coote Foxwell had 5 children there.

Ellen Louisa Walsall  1857
Joseph Richard sometimes Richard Joseph, Court Dale Street, Wednesbury, Sep 1859
Julia J   Walsall   1862
Charles    West Brom 1864
Joseph  Wednesbury 1866

Henry and his wife Sarah had:-

John Thomas 1865  Walsall
Catharine 1867  Walsall

They were all back in Wotton Under Edge in 1871

My problem is that there is a third Joseph Foxwell born in  Walsall abt 1863 and living with his grandmother in Wotton Under Edge.  They are together in the census in 1871 and 1881. 
She only had the two sons Joseph and Henry and I cannot work out who his parents could have been. Huh

Any suggestions very welcome.

Thanks,

Elin

Court Dale Street was in St John's parish. There's a present day Dale Street not too far away.

St John's itself (demolished mid-1980's) is very close to the 'border' between West Brom and Wednesbury whereas Dale Street isn't far from the Wednesbury/Darlaston (Walsall) 'border'!

Hi PaulStaffs,

Thank you very much for the information, it will help a lot to know what Parish Court Dale St
was in and give me a starting point.
