Hello Valda.
Firstly,thankyou so much for your help,its very much appreciated,according to their marriage certificate,Albert was a wood worker,strange thing is though they did'nt marry till 1900,I don't know what to think,Macdonald Street and the surrounding area is where two of their children eventually settled when they got married,its near to the Bullring market,thanks again.

It could be an error by the census enumerator. It could be the family were using an alias for whatever reason. It could be an interesting coincidence and a doppleganger family.

I like the doppleganger theory,Albert was always a mystery,I just about remember him,very quiet, in fact I don't remember him ever uttering a word,my mother used to say,"that man will never die,he's pickled",that man sure liked
his beer.he was in his nineties when he passed on,hmmm.
Take care.

Hi Derek,
Do you know Jane's maiden-name? Just wondering if it was Davies. Have looked in 1881 but no luck so far, will keep looking.

Hello Jan.
Now there's a thought,are'nt you clever,I'll have a look on the BMD for a marriage to William, married in Worcester I think.
Thanks for that.
Take care.
