Hi Folks

This Tuesday, the 10th February 2015 our talk is:

Richard III: Hero? Murderer? Loyal Brother? by Speaker: Max Keen

Was Richard the monster that Shakespeare would have us believe? Was he the rightful King of England after his brother Edward IV? Not only that.....was Edward the rightful king? All set against the complexities and horrors of the Wars of the Roses. Complete with armour, chain mail and weapons of the period.

Max will be giving the same talk to Stourbridge Branch on Tuesday, 17 March.

For the Bromsgrove March meeting, on the 10th, we have the AGM & Members Evening "Which Ancestor would you most like to meet?" - Note the date in your diary!

Hi Folks,

This appears to be John HUMPHRIES (HUMPHREYS) second marriage

Quarter 3 in 1871
Fletcher               Emily Price             W. Derby    8b   Pg 665
Humphries           John Richard         W. Derby    8b   Pg 665

In 1871 the only Emily Price FLETCHER I can find was in Withington, Lancashire, born DUDDLESTON - 1852.
In 1881 as Emily HUMPHRIES in Rusholme she was from Dudleston, Flintshire -1853.

By 1902 John appears to be with his 3rd wife.

Please can anyone find a birth or a baptism or the 1861 for Emily?

Regards

Mike

Hi Folks,

Please does anyone have access to this church record as I am trying to work out John's middle name, which was either Richard or Robert.

Marriage in the third quarter of 1857

Humphreys   John         Wolverhampton    6b   513
Townsend      Emma       Wolverhampton    6b   513

The GOONs subsidiary website, http://www.marriage-locator.co.uk/, says:-

"Sorry, we cannot locate the church for this marriage. The entry is located between entries for Lapley All Saints (RD: Penkridge) and Tettenhall (RD: Wolverhampton)."

Regards

Mike
