Looking for Walter Homer and family in the Quarry Bank area in the 1891 census. Walter was born in 1884 in Quarry Bank so would be aged six or seven in 1891. I have no details of parents.
Any details would be most welcome.

Thank you for all those replies, bit of a puzzler with all those Walters but I know he worked as a coalminer and left the area to do that at Bedworth, Warwickshire after 1910 so that may be the clue to deciding which is which.
-
Suzard, forgot to answer your query, Walter's Grandson provided the details and he got them off his Aunt who is Walter's brother's daughter!!
I will get him to ask her for her father's name which will probably provide the answer.
Thank you all again for your help, it is very much appreciated.
-
P.S. The name head of one of the families is HANDEL Homer, he is there in the 1881 at Quarry Bank.
-
That would be Handel Coal Miner with wife Eliza
Shadrack the father is with them 1891
Pam

Just confirmed that Handel's family is the right one so thank you all.
Shadrack's family from previous censuses anyone?
(I have the 1881)

Al,
I am researching the Benjamin Homer family. I don't have the info at hand, but Benjamin married Caroline Weldon. I think Benjamin is the brother of my great-great grandmother, Hannah Homer, born about 1822, born in Quarry Bank or Brierley Hill. Hannah married Elijah Cartwright of Brierley Hill. I saw that you may have had a Cartwright connection also. Like I said I am on a different laptop and don't have my info, but I am pretty sure that William and Nancy Homer were living near Benjamin. Hannah and Elijah moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania , US about 1846. Hannah died about 1856, but she had 5 children, Benjamin, David, Wesley Elijah (my great-grandfather) Mary Ellen and William. I have Elijah and Hannah's marriage record--they were married in the parish church of Dudley and their residence was listed as Baptist End. I am from the US and am a little confused about the districts, counties, and parishes. On the marriage record it states that her father was Benjamin Homer, deceased. Is it possible to get cemetery records or deaths records before 1837?
I do know that Elijah's father was also Elijah Cartwright and his mother may have been Mary Round/Rounds-----his siblings were John, William, David, Louisa (married William Stanyard), Mercy ( may have married Thomas Hatton and Thomas Plant), Maria, Elizabeth (may have married Thomas Plant first).
Regards, Sheri

Rod,
Thank you for your reply. I appreciate you sending the message to your friend.
Is it easy to get church records and cemetery records? I am not sure where to look for sure, but I would think Brierley Hill would be the place to start. I know that my great-grandfather was named Wesley, because Elijah was impressed with John Wesley, but I am not sure what church they would have attended. When he came to the states he became a Methodist minister.
Again, thank you and if you need any help researching in the states--I might be able to help.

Sheri, will send you another pm
