Hello once again Denyse

From what you tell me John would most probably be Benjamin's brother. Benjamin and two of his sons were brewers in Rowley Regis and I know Alice who was the youngest daughter of Jeremiah BILLINGHAM and Isabella TROMANS went and lived in Netherton after she was married. Her husband James LOCKWOOD was the son of Sarah Ann BILLINGHAM and Edward LOCKWOOD. Their common ancestor being John BILLINGHAM and Phebe TIBBETS. Have you seen the sight for BILLINGHAN'S of Cradley Heath?

Hi Denyse

I'm trying to find the roots of a Matthew Hancox - I have his birth certificate and he was born 17 June 1887 at 9 Dunn Street, Dudley registered in Dudley the son of Matthew Hancox, plate layer and his wife Elizabeth formerly Moore.

We know that they had an elder son James bc 1885 Hednesford and a daughter called Selina who was born 13 Jan 1891 in Dudley Union Workhouse - her father Matthew is entered as deceased occ plate layer and her mother was again given as Elizabeth formerly Moore (of Dudley) on her birth certificate.  The father Matthew must have died in 1890 although I have been unable to find a death for him anywhere.  Nor can I find a marriage for him and Elizabeth Moore which would give me his father's name and I cannot find a Matthew Hancox on the 1881 census.

James was living with his mother in 1901 at 3 Court House, Tower Street, Dudley - she had remarried to an Edward Green on 25 Dec 1898 in the parish church of Netherton, Dudley and her father's name was given as Stephen Moore.  Matthew junior was living in an Industrial school in Dudley but there is no sign of Selina on the 1901 census.

Matthew and his older brother James had a fight one day which involved a knife and Matthew lost an eye as a result.  This was probably why he ended up in an Industrial school because his widowed mother and/or new step father couldn't cope with him fighting with James.  Matthew ran away from his school and walked along the railway lines to Wales.  He was a carter and worked at Llandovery College for some years and then became the groundsman at Glanbrydan House - working for the Richardson family and later Canon Walker-Thomas.  He married Elinor Bryant who was born in Fulham.  My husband is Elinor and Matthew's grandson.

Look as I might, I cannot find any of either Matthew seniors family nor his wife Elizabeth Moore - the 1901 census gives her place of birth as Ashby-de-la-Zouch but I can find no evidence of her or her father Stephen Moore on the relevant censuses.  Do you, by any chance, have this Matthew Hancox in your tree?
