Family History Beginners Board / BMD Index
« on: Wednesday 09 March 05 09:47 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

A little while ago I located the marriage of my g-g-grandparents John Whitehouse and Caroline Jones in West Bromwich on the FreeBMD website, and was then able to locate the parish marriage record in my local archives. Excellent.

My question relates to the BMD indexes themselves.


Marriages Jun 1872
Carter  Ann    W.Bromwich  6b 1010   
Davies  Thomas     W Bromwich  6b 1010   
HANCOX  Caroline     W. Bromwich  6b 1010   
JONES  Caroline     W. Bromwich  6b 1010   
Whitehouse  John     W. Bromwich  6b 1010   


Is there any reason why a person would be listed in the marriage indexes twice for the same marriage, but with a different surname? ie. Could Caroline JONES and Caroline HANCOX be the same person? The reason I ask is that we have some death cards in the family that have been passed down through the generations on that side of the family... as well as cards for JONES and WHITEHOUSE there is also one for a person surname HANCOX, and we have never known where it might fit in with our tree at all.

Just a coincidence?

Staffordshire Lookup Requests / 1851 Brierley Hill - Jefferies
« on: Friday 15 October 04 11:15 BST (UK)  »
Hiya

Can anyone help me locate the following family in the 1851 census please?

Thomas Jefferies b: ~1827 Brierley Hill
Ann Jefferies b: ~1823 Brierley Hill

Possible daughter: Martha Jefferies b: 1849 Brierley Hill

Thomas was an Iron Works manager in 1870 so I guess he may have been in the trade back in 1851 as well.

Thanks!

Sue
