Al,
I am researching the Benjamin Homer family. I don't have the info at hand, but Benjamin married Caroline Weldon. I think Benjamin is the brother of my great-great grandmother, Hannah Homer, born about 1822, born in Quarry Bank or Brierley Hill. Hannah married Elijah Cartwright of Brierley Hill. I saw that you may have had a Cartwright connection also. Like I said I am on a different laptop and don't have my info, but I am pretty sure that William and Nancy Homer were living near Benjamin. Hannah and Elijah moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania , US about 1846. Hannah died about 1856, but she had 5 children, Benjamin, David, Wesley Elijah (my great-grandfather) Mary Ellen and William. I have Elijah and Hannah's marriage record--they were married in the parish church of Dudley and their residence was listed as Baptist End. I am from the US and am a little confused about the districts, counties, and parishes. On the marriage record it states that her father was Benjamin Homer, deceased. Is it possible to get cemetery records or deaths records before 1837?
I do know that Elijah's father was also Elijah Cartwright and his mother may have been Mary Round/Rounds-----his siblings were John, William, David, Louisa (married William Stanyard), Mercy ( may have married Thomas Hatton and Thomas Plant), Maria, Elizabeth (may have married Thomas Plant first).
Regards, Sheri
