Worcestershire / Re: West Bromwich Workhouse
« on: Tuesday 06 October 09 13:42 BST (UK) »Hi,
Have you tried this link:
www.westbrompaupers.org.uk
Its got all sorts of information about:
West Bromwich Workhouse
The Poor House foundations
A Brief Chronology
Guardians of the Workhouse
Growth of the Poor House
Admission to the Poor House
Classification of Inmates
Daily Routine
Work
Children in the Work House
West Bromwich Union Infirmary
Local Goverment Act 1929
Sadly lots of my relations ended up in West Bromwich Workhouse and my Great, Great Great Uncle Benjamin was only 12 years old. He died of TB at 18 years old maybe in the workhouse (what a life).
I'm not sure if you know but a paupers memorial was erected in West Bromwich to pay respect to all those inmates who died while in the workhouse. If you died a pauper in the workhouse you weren't deemed worthy of a grave and was buried in mass unmarked ones
. The link I gave should help with information on records etc.All the best

Warwickshire / Owen family of Middleton
« on: Tuesday 06 October 09 13:22 BST (UK) »Hi everyone,
My x3 Great Grandfather was Edward Owen born 1827, Middleton who moved to Wednesbury, Staffordshire and married Susannah Hales born 1833, Stafford.
I think a large Owen family were living around the Middleton area of Warwickshire in the 18th century onwards. I'm hoping someone would have a connection with Edward or the Owen family maybe able to help me in my research.
Kind regards

Shropshire / Phillips family of Wellington
« on: Tuesday 06 October 09 13:08 BST (UK) »Hi everyone,
I've found my x5 Great Grandmother Maria Phillips born 1809 Wellington, Shropshire who married John Tolley born 1797 Lindridge, Worcestershire in 1824 at All Saints church, West Bromwich, Staffordshire.
Is Maria Phillips in anyone elses family tree or any Phillips connections from the Wellington area around that time that may link up with Maria. I think the Phillips surname is Welsh so maybe Maria's family originated from over the border in Wales.
I keep getting stuck on all my family connections around the early 1800's
Kind regards

Wiltshire / DELLICOTT & WATTS familes of Trowbridge
« on: Tuesday 06 October 09 12:55 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone,
My x6 Great Grandfather was Thomas Dellicott, Derricott, Derrycourt and Delicourt (God knows which is correct) born 1793 Trowbridge, Wiltshire who married in 1813 in Trowbridge Mary Watts born 1796 Trowbridge, Wiltshire.
I do know Thomas, Mary and family moved to the Black Country, Staffordshire around 1836 but the surname is mis spelt so many times on documents that I've no idea what the surname was originally. It's been spelt Derricott, Derrycourt, Delicourt and Dellicott. All the family from the late 1860's seemed to start to use the name Dellicott and that surname seemed to have stuck.
I've never heard of any of these surnames before is anyone of them a local Wiltshire name or is it foreign, which would be the correct spelling and what does the surname mean.
Does anyone have any Watts or Derricott, Derrycourt, Delicourt and Dellicott from Wiltshire in their family tree.
Any help would be fantastic because I'm so
Kind regards
Adrian

Montgomeryshire Lookup Requests / Powell family of Montgomeryshire
« on: Sunday 04 October 09 12:21 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone,
My x3 Great Grandfather James Powell born abt 1803, Montgomeryshire, Wales married in 1827 Coreley, Shropshire a Susannah Cranage born 1809, Coreley, Shropshire.
I've been unable to trace James Powell any further back but I do know that a number of Powells where living in Coreley and the nearby area at the time of his marriage so I'm thinking he may have been related to them somehow. I'm also thinking the Powells living at Coreley may have moved from Montgomeryshire area and our family roots are from that area.
James profession was a Malster (mixed the hops and barley for the brewing of beers) which took the family to Ludlow and then later to the Black Country. My family still live in the Black Country area today.
Does anyone have any connections with James or maybe a Powell family that were from Montgomeryshire but moved to the Ludlow and Coreley areas of Shropshire. Maybe your Powell family were involved in the brewing trade which would connect with James because I thinking his family may have been involved somehow.
Any help or advice would be fantastic.
Kind regards
Adrian Powell
