Worcestershire / Dudley family of Cole

« on: Friday 22 March 19 14:51 GMT (UK) »

I have 3 generations of Cole confirmed dates etc and birth place but the 4th is elusive, thought it was Chaddesley Corbett but now not so sure, as follows:

Joseph Cole 1694-1756 married Mary Burrowes 1703-1750 in Dudley 23 December 1729, she came from Halesowen but any ideas where he came from ?

Their son William Cole 1729-1804 married Mary Cooke 1727-1802 in Dudley / Sedgley both from Sedgley in April 1756.

Their son Joseph Cole 1760-1839 married Hannah Elwell 1765-1843 in Dudley on 16 May 1785 both from Sedgley.

Their son Joseph (yet another Joseph) 1800-1871 married Hannah Wolverson 1801-1913 on 17 December 1820 at St Peter's in Wolverhampton.

So I am trying to establish where Joseph Cole 1694-1756 was born and if possible where his family originate from, looked through most parish registers but drawn a blank, any help appreciated..

Staffordshire / William Burroughs and Judith Smith

William Burrowes and Judith Smith were married on 13/11/1631 at St Thomas Church in Dudley, Dudley was transferred into Staffordshire in the 1960's then into the West Midlands but was prior to that in Worcestershire I understand !! so if I want to obtain a copy of the wedding details any idea where I go ? would St Thomas be in the Worcester Diocese ? also what information is likely to be on any record ?
Any direction appreciated...

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Living DNA test in now what

« on: Thursday 22 November 18 18:01 GMT (UK) »

Had my DNA test back from Living DNA which was interesting to say the least but now what is the best way forward with it, tried Ancestry as I have a comprehensive tree with them but they do not accept Living DNA results which is a shame as I think they are missing a trick, which are the best sites to go forward with, any ideas...

Gloucestershire / Lady in Bristol

« on: Thursday 22 November 18 17:46 GMT (UK) »

I am looking for information regarding a Gladys E Gainard who I believe was born in Bristol 1926 as her birth is registered in 1st qtr of 1927, her mothers name was Gibbings we have found most recent history but trying to find out about her Ancestors on both her fathers and mothers side, she married a Ernest S Curme in 1954 and had a son in 1955, Gainard seems to be a popular surname in Bristol but unusual non the less, any pointers appreciated..

Staffordshire / Catherine Oldenburg Princess of Norway and Denmark

« on: Tuesday 10 April 18 10:30 BST (UK) »

I have a relative John Turley 1575-1661 lived in Sedgley, who appears to have married a Catherine Oldenburg Princess of Norway and Denmark 1580-1675 which leaves me wondering what was she doing in Sedgley where she is said to have died, any way I can prove either way maybe church records any advice appreciated..
