Title: Henry, John and William hadley help!
Post by: Vixen999 on Friday 09 August 19 17:22 BST (UK)
Hoping someone can help with regards information on a john Hadley abt. 1812 who was the dad of Henry Hadley and John's parents William Hadley and his wife Mary

Henry Hadleys birth years range from 1836-1839.  He was born in Dudley, Worcestershire.  I believe he married a Jane Teague born 1838.

Parents of Henry thought to be
John Hadley born Stourbridge, Worcestershire 1810/1812

It seems his Dad was William Hadley and mum Mary but can't find anything else further on them so any help appreciated.

A John hadley married an Esther Orford 1810 • Oldswinford, Worcestershire, England and Esther's name appears on a few censuses as mother of Henry's family. But a Jane greenfield 1808–1888 married a John Hadley same year and area and I believe she may have married a Joseph Beard??   Still unsure on whether they married the same man or not and on one census Henry Hadley became a Henry beard.  So am unsure whose Henry's parents are though believe it to be Esther. 

Henry's siblings are below

Lucy Maria Hadley
1856–

John William Hadley
1857–1919

Harry Edward Hadley
1860–

Agnes Louisa Hadley
1862–

Charles Frederick Hadley
1863–1905

Frank Hadley
1865–

George Hadley
1867–

Alfred Hadley
1869–

Clara Hadley
1873–

Harry Hadley
1874–

Wallgrave Hadley
1878–

Any help with regards John, William and Mary would be gratefully received.  Thanks all.

Do you have the 1855 marriage of Henry and Jane to confirm his father

I have John hadley and Jane listed with Henry on the 1841 census and the registry index of Henry and Jane's marriage.

GRO Birth Registration
Henry Hadley, March Qtr 1839, reg. district Stourbridge Union, vol 18 page 481 - mother's maiden name Orford

Note - your describing "Lucy Maria, 1856, John William 1857 et al" as "Henry's siblings" did initially confuse.

Can find a couple of Henry's children (Harry Edward, Agnes Louisa) with mother's maiden name Teague on the GRO - but not Lucy Maria, first born.

FindMyPast has the marriage (transcription only) of Jane Teague, age 17 and Henry Hadley, age 19, on 5 Nov 1855. at Worcester. The Henry Hadley registered Mar Qtr 1839, would have been about sixteen and a half in Nov 1855 (assuming birth was registered shortly after his birth).

A possibility for Lucy's birth registration in her mother's maiden name
 Lucy Teague Sept 1/4 1855 registration district Worcester vol 6c page 258. No mother's maiden name given which usually indicates illegitimacy. So did Jane and Henry marry in November after the birth of Lucy.

added:- just seen  hanes teulu's post. I can see the birth reg on FreeBMD

Yeah I saw this census entry too.  Am unsure whether Esther Orford married John, Henry's dad and whether Jane grain/greenfield did as well.  Esther does appear with the family on a number of the censuses 1841, 1851 and 1861 so wondering if Jane was married to the same person or not.  But Henry is also listed down with wife and kids on 1861 census so maybe Esther is wrong as you can't have Henry listed twice in 1861 living with wife, then with potential mother.  So perhaps john did marry Jane Greenfield and she's Henry's Mum.

If you don't have it you really need Henry's marriage certificate to Jane Teague otherwise anything we suggest could be wrong.

Thanks for this Rosie.  Just now need to try and work out his birth year but you've given me info to work on which is appreciated.  I did find a couple death and burial records for a john hadley who died 9th June 1841 but if Jane remarried then your dates work much better.  Thanks for all this 👍. The Hadleys at stages are not proving easy to work out but I had worked out Esther Orford was a different family.  I took her off the tree, went back to Henry and got to John and Jane.

John Hadley bn c1833 Rowley Regis, Staffordshire was living with his mother Jane Beard in 1851.

In 1861 He was with his wife Martha RG09/ Piece   2092 f109 p5.  Also with them was a daughter Mary E Hadley 11 months and a William Beard age 41.  John's occupation was Shoe maker

1871 He is still married to Martha  RG10/3050 f128 p21.  They have 3 children and William Beard is still living with them.

1891 as you say he is staying with Mary - still a shoe maker. He is married, his wife Martha is entered elsewhere on this census (a servant)

Yeah that's the info I had before seeing this as spade maker stood out.  I've a couple options re John hadley 1801-1833.  In the last quarter - 1800 November is a listing for John with parents Benjamin and Mary in Rowley Regis.  Thomas & Mary in Dudley Oct 1801 had a son John.

There were two John deaths, per Rosie’s earlier reply

Quote
There were two burials in Rowley Regis for a John Hadley
23 Mar 1833 age 32
24 Aug 1832 age 76.

The marriage to James Penn was December 1833.

Quote
Jane    Hadley
James Penn
Marriage    29 Dec 1833
Marriage place   Kingswinford, Staffordshire

The first husband John was a widower at marriage to Jane.

Could just as easily have been the older man.
No idea how you would differentiate them though. But six months between the death and marriage does seem a short period of time. Although of course I think there were very practical reasons for fast remarriage.

Of course, now it doesn’t matter. You have to figure out who James PENN the Blacksmith  (1785 - 1841) was instead 😀😀

There were two John deaths, per Rosie’s earlier reply

Quote
There were two burials in Rowley Regis for a John Hadley
23 Mar 1833 age 32
24 Aug 1832 age 76.

The marriage to James Penn was December 1833.

Quote
Jane    Hadley
James Penn
Marriage    29 Dec 1833
Marriage place   Kingswinford, Staffordshire

The first husband John was a widower at marriage to Jane.

Could just as easily have been the older man.

Well I thought I had figured out that Johns parents are Benjamin Hadley and Mary - unknown surname as now.  BUT!!

John hadley the son of John snr. was born 02 Jun 1834 and was baptised in June also.  John hadley is down as his dad, not James Penn. 

So John Snr must have died later than 1833???  Or Jane decided to put John down as the dad instead of James as neither of the two burial dates given fit with jane being pregnant with John's child.

There's also two daughters Ann and Mary Hadley from Jane and John's marriage. 

Jane married Joseph Beard in 1844

On the 1851 census:
Husband Joseph Beard (54, Cordwainer)
Jane (43), Born Dudley (AUDLEY mistranscibed)
Joseph's children from a previous marriage to an Eliza??
William (31, Cordwainer)
Thomas (15)
Richard (12, Errand boy)

Then Joseph and Jane's children
Jane (2) & Lucy (9 Months)

The other children must be from James penn
Mary (19, Shoe binder)
John (17, Cordwainer)
Elizabeth (15)
Henry (14, Apprentice to Cordwainer) Patience (11)

Jane  married John on 17th Feb 1831.  Jane remarried to James pen 29 Dec 1833.  married Joseph Beard 27 Jul 1844

see Rosie's replies #16 & #33

It is possible that the John Hadley age 17 was baptised 14 Jul 1833 at Rowley Regis parents John (deceased) and Jane.

I think that the John Hadley born Cradley, Worcestershire with parents John & Jane was an apprentice Spade Maker in 1851 .Piece 2033 f524 p54

ie the John in the Navy is not John son of John and Jane nee Greenfield who was a shoemaker not a spade maker

John Hadley (Widower) married Jane Greenfield (spinster) 17 February 1831 at St Bartholomew, Edgbaston, Warwickshire.  Witnesses Hannah Batten & James Batten.

In 1841 Living Dudley
Jane (Penn) had the following 'Hadley' children with her
Ann Hadley 11
Mary Hadley 9
John Hadley 7
None of children were born in County.

Baptisms at Rowley Regis - parents John & Jane Hadley
Marys baptism on 18 Dec 1831 gives her birth place as Titford Bridge -fathers occ Victualler

Johns baptism on 14 Jul 1833 gives place of birth as Portway -Father John (deceased)

It is possible that Ann was either born to Johns first wife or before Janes marriage to John.

This is a great summary thank you.  This family has my head spinning lol I believe Johns parents are Benjamin and Mary.  So Mary John's daughter was baptised in the UK. John junior I'd not even noticed the portway link!!   There is an entry for a Ann Hadley 1828, Halesowen, and that is to a john hadley and Ann.  But unsure if this has any connection. Thanks for all your hard work

The christening you found for John in 1833 would fit with John snr dying that year. 

I had this entry  Birth Date2 Jun 1834 Birth Place Cradley, Worcestershire, England which is why I queried John being John seniors son.
