Hi Willow
Caution! The fact that there is no record of a burial at Merridale does not prove anything. I already knew at least 2 of mine whowere buried there and don't appear in the file.

Hi Willow
I assume no Mears news?
I have a tiny bit, though it gets us no further.
I got the birth certificate of Eliza Mars
b 19 Apr 1839 Bilston St Wton
father George Mars Labourer
Mother Elizabeth Mars formerly Ones (misprint for Owen presumably)
This is right I think, but all we get is an address (which I can't find them at in 1841), and the fact that Geo doesn't seem to be deceased (but I can't find a death pre Elizabeth's remarriage)
Any ideas?

George was elusive eh?
Bear in mind, that although Elizabeth remarried claiming to be widowed, there is always the possibility that George hadn't died if we can't find a record of it.
Perhaps they had a 'falling out' and he moved on elsewhere?
Or maybe it's all down to a spelling error cos they seem to have been recorded under all sorts of spellings so far.
*edit to add* Willow, you might also be interested to know I now have a Hilton ancestor. My 5x great grandmother was a Mary Hilton who married Stephen Law (I think was at St Peter's w-ton, have to check notes) But were Roman Catholic and lived in Sedgley where the Law family was from. Perhaps somewhere we are related twice over!

Hi Willow
What Knights are you chasing in Glos?
It doesn't happen to be a George Knight (1802-?), bap Ruardean, marr Sarah Pritchard 1827, does it?
He is an ancestor of my daughter in law.

Hi Willow
This subject is called Mears mess, yeah?
Well how about this for a mess? Just found!
Fryers Yard, Railway Street, W'ton 1841 census
George Williams 30 Coal Miner No
Elizabeth 25 No
James 9 No
Ellen 6 No
Salenor 5 No
That is just too much of a coincidence!!!!!! But whatever does it mean?
Misprint?
Alias?
Ideas to Fencewolf!!! Is that why we can't find a death of G Meers?
Too late to think now!
