Hi Willow
Apparently it was fairly common in the 17/18/19th century for families to do a moonlight flit because of debts then start again with a new name elsewhere. Is that what happened to our lot, I wonder?
However, what are we looking for now? Death of George Williams? Baptisms of James and Ellen Williams? Or if the Williams is just an enumerator error, are we no further forward? W'ton records, I suppose - they aren't on line for the required period, are they? At least we have an addres for 1841!
I have all the records for da-in-law's family and will look at your Knight tree when I have time. Thanks!

Hi Willow
Forgor to say thankyou for the Joseph Meers and Elizah info. Salop archives is shut for refurbishment at present, but we could do with a trip when it reopens. You never know!

Hi Willow
It's me again. I reckon the Joseph M's birth will be Ketley (now in Telford)

Hi
Joseph M & family are easy to find in Walsall in 1861, and deaths of Joseph and Mary in Walsall in 1867, 1864 respectively.
But I can't read the birthplace of Joseph in 61. It looks like Ray Field, which I can't identify.

Hi Willow
Thanks for that; it all helps a bit.
Unfortunately, I can't find Emily's birth record, nor yet George's death in the now limited period. I might send for the Emily death cert just in case it helps.
We are coming to the midlands next Wed so may try one of the Record Offices. Do you know where the St Peters burials for the 1846-50 period are. Unless I'm being dim they aren't in Stafford or Wton.

Hi Willow
Went to Stafford this week, and found the following
Eliza Mayers bap 28 Apr 1839 W'ton St Peters. Father George, miner ---which figures.
Also George Mares bur Wednesbury 20 Aug 1847, age 45 (obviously the W Brom registration). On the same page are several men "killed in coal pit". That's promising, so I've sent for the cert.

Hi Willow
My copy only came today. It doesn't look right, does it!
Oh well, back to the drawing board.
