Staffordshire / 1871 census
« on: Saturday 06 October 12 13:34 BST (UK)  »
Hi
I'm looking for confirmation of what I think I'm seeing.
On 1871 census I have Charlotte Taylor age 44 and living with daughter Jane Towers, a widow, and her family, living in Willenhall, Staffs.  I can't properly read the marital status of Charlotte, is she a widow as well?

Staffordshire / Benjamin Taylor death
« on: Sunday 19 August 12 10:29 BST (UK)  »
Hi all

I'm wondering if anyone can help me or tell me where I can get some more information.

I have a Benjamin Taylor who died 1861-1871.  On his last census he was listed as a bootmaker but was previously a labourer, so I don't think the occupation is really relevant when looking for information.  From the censuses, he was born around 1801 and always lived in Willenhall.  He married Charlotte and their children were Elizabeth, John and Nancy.

As it is a common surname there are too many death entries to choose from.  I've applied to both Walsall and Wolverhampton, which would be the register offices closest to home, but they don't have the record I want.  So now I'm thinking he didn't die at home but I've no idea where!

Any ideas what to do or where to go next?

Hoping someone can help.

Thanks, Helen

Staffordshire completed Look up Requests / CLARKE lookup Wolverhampton
« on: Saturday 10 March 12 22:41 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

I'm looking for 1911 census details for William and Agnes Clarke living in Wolverhampton.  I think William was born in 1879 and Agnes in 1881, and they married in 1900.

Unfortunately I haven't got access to 1911 census at the moment, otherwise I would look myself.

Thanks
Helen

Staffordshire / 1871 census lookup DAVIS
« on: Friday 30 December 11 13:02 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all

I'm struggling with this one because it's a common name and this is already her third surname!

I'm looking for Jane Davis in the 1871 census.

I have 1841: Farthing Row, Bilston, Staffs
                    Richard Evans   
                    Elizabeth Evans
                    Jane Berks    age 20
                    James Berks
                    William Evans (my g-g-grandfather)
                    Richard Evans
                    Emma Jones

William and Richard Evans have no father's name on their birth certificates.  Jane Evans married James Birks in Dec 1840 in Wolverhampton.

In 1851: Coseley Street, Bilston, Staffs
             James Birks   age 35
             Jane Birks     age 35
             Richard Evans
             William Evans
             Anna Birks
             James Birks
             Jane Birks

Jane Burkes married Thomas Davis in 1857 in Bilston, Wolverhampton, Staffs.

In 1861: Coseley Street, Bilston, Staffs
             Thomas Davis    age 52
             Jane Davis         age 48
             William Evans
             Hannah Burkes
             James Burkes
             Jane Burkes
             Mary A Burkes
             Thomas Davis

Now I'm looking for Jane Davis on the 1871 census but can't find anything that might be her.  I've got a possible entry for Thomas Davis, new wife Harriett and his son Thomas, very near to Coseley Street, which I would then assume that Jane died in between 1861 and 1871.

Can anyone help me please?

Thank you

Staffordshire / BADDELEY lookup 1851 and 1841
« on: Tuesday 27 December 11 16:12 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

I'm looking for census details for Elizabeth Baddeley in 1851 and 1841.  She married George Woodward on 15 June 1857 in Bucknall, Stoke on Trent and her father was William Baddeley.  Later censuses say she was born in Stoke, possibly the Fenton area.  She would be age 14-15 in 1851.

Hoping someone can help.

Thanks

Hi
I'm looking for any war records that might be available for Frank Millington.  He was born in 1879 in Willenhall, Staffordshire.  I was always told that he died during the war but he actually died in 1919.
Thanks,

Shropshire Lookup Requests / SARAH RUSHTON birth c1807 in Shifnal
« on: Sunday 10 July 11 12:17 BST (UK)  »
Hi all
I'm looking for any information on Sarah Rushton born in 1807.  1851 census (Monmore Green, Wolverhampton) says she was born in Shifnal.  I have her marriage certificate for 1839 at St Thomas, Dudley, but there is no father's name given.  She married Richard Millington from Madeley.  She died in 1857 in Willenhall so there is no more census information available to me.
Thanks
Helen
