Very interesting Willow.

There's an abundance of names here and it really throws a light on the every day life of the time.
I noticed that a nurse was admonished for hitting a child. Doesn't sound much like Charles Dickens!

Thank you for the link, what an interesting document and how kind of the transcriber to make this available,

I know Pat Galloway is responsible for transcribing the parish records that are available on the Wolverhampton website so she may be responsible for this as well
