I'm trying to find out the surname of Mary, the wife of Thomas SOUTHALL. They married bef Nov 25, 1829 as that is when their son Reuben was born. Thomas was born March 25, 1807 in Cradley, Worc. Mary was born, according to census', abt 1808 in Cradley as well. I looked up the LDS site and saw two possibilities, one being Mary Ann HILLMAN. She and a Thomas Southall married Oct 23, 1827 in Kidderminster. The other was Mary WHITE. Her marriage was Dec 25, 1828 in Old Swinford. There is one other possibility, and that was the name of Mary DOWNES, that somebody listed on their Rootsweb tree. But I can find no Mary DOWNES listed for a marriage to Thomas Southall on the LDS site. Any help is appreciated.

I finally found my William Weavers family. But other than some birth and Christening dates and places I know next to nothing on these families. Any help is appreciated. Cousins most welcome. William Weaver was born in Buckland Dinham bef July 26, 1812. He was the son of Richard Weaver and Mary Tapper. Richard was born Buckland Dinham bef May 12, 1793. Mary Tapper was born (according to someone else, with her in their tree) abt 1793 in Tisbury, Wiltshire. I am unable to find anymore info on her or her family line. Richard and Mary had other children, Giles, John, Anne, Elizabeth, Susan and Maria. Richard' parents were William Weaver and Mary Singer. William, I assume was born in Buckland Dinham abt 1761. I have no further info on his family line. Mary Singer was born bef Feb 8, 1761 in Buckland Dinham. Her parents were Walter Singer and Johanna Carter. William Weaver and Mary Singer' other children were Charles, John and James. Walter Singer looks to be from Frome, Somerset. I know nothing further on his family line. Johanna Carter, I know nothing of. Their other children were William, James, Hester and Elizabeth. 

I'm looking for info on their son Thomas. Who he married, where he lived after marrying, etc. I'm trying to find out if he is my Thomas Bishop. My Thomas, according to census' was from Cleobury Mortimer, Shropshire, except for one census where it was written Hopton (Wafers), Shropshire, England. And this is where William and Elizabeths son Thomas was born, with one exception, mine was figued to have been born in 1811, their thomas is down for 1809. But back in those days, not everyone knew exactly how old or when they were born. My Thomas also married an Elizabeth Wood in 1841 at Holy Trinity Church in Wordsley, Worcestershire. They lived in Cradley, Worcestershire and had children by the names of James, Thomas, Elizabeth, Sarah, Ellen and Philip. Any help would be appreciated.

Update: I was advised to visit my Family History Center (Latter Day Saints) to look-up the marriage of Thomas Bishop and Elizabeth Wood. They DO NOT have any records for this marriage as the date (year) is not microfilmed.


If someone is going to the Dudley Archives can they do a marriage look-up for me please. I need a look-up on Thomas Bishop and Elizabeth Wood. In the UKBMD index and the BMD index sites they are listed as having married in the June Quarter of 1841 at Holy Trinity, Wordsley, Worcestershire. I need the names of their parents and places of birth mainly. If someone is able to do this I would be greatly appreciative.
