  Wonder if Seth in 1841 could have been a family name
for Shadrach, can't find a bapt.for a Seth.

Jackie, those names seem to be falling into place nicely, William married Elizabeth Cartwright in March 1787, one entry gives 12th March at Brierley Hill, the other 14th March at Kingswinford.
As regards the name Seth, I havn't seen the original and wondered if it was Beth, short for Elizabeth as I have Shadrach baptism as 20th March 1831 which would make him nine or ten in the '41, the which tallies with his age in later censuses.
Many thanks for your help, I think you may be on the right track.

   I tend not to take all  info on census returns as gospel,
especially ages, some of my lot have got younger as the
years have gone by.!!!

 Just a thought, I wonder if this could be Williams mother..

living 4 houses away from Wlm +Nancy in 1841

Elizabeth Homer age difficult could be 65 or 69 nailor
                                                          not born in county
Sarah Homer 50 nailor         born in county
Ann               15                     ....   ..   ......
Wlm              14                     ....   ...   ....

Now that is interesting, I have an Elizabeth Cartwright c 21st May 1769 to Jer. and Mary which if she is 69 in 1841 would put her just about right!
Not born in county though, could Brierley Hill have been classed as Staffordshire at that time?
And Sarah could be the wife of Benjamin, one of Elizabeth's sons that you told me about, he married a Sarah Addleton in Kingswinford in 1807!
There is a distinct possibility that you have cracked it Jackie, superb work. Many thanks!

Hi Al, well done Jackie, she seems to have found the right family there.  I would think that Brierley Hill would be high on the list of Parish Churches for anyone living in Saltwells.  I agree Al, didn't the pictures paint a lovely idyllic scene.  Happy hunting from linell.

Thanks Linell for all your help, yes Jackie has done a superb job, I have cross-checked the two children living with Sarah, and Benjamin and Sarah did indeed have two children of those names that fit the ages so I believe it has now been proved correct. My thanks to both of you for your help, very much appreciated, without it I doubt if I would have got any further back.

Do you have info on the Worton family of Quarry bank by any chance?

My wife descends from a descendent of Israel & Harriet Worton. Their son Thomas married in 1844 and subsequently he and his younger brother Samuel moved to Teesside by 1873 (both have children born there that year)

Israel Worton had previously been married to Mary Bache and was born ca 1803. he is in Quarry bank in 1841 census with several other Worton households on the same page.

I would like details of his 2 marriages, baptisms of his children and if possible details of his own baptism and thus details of ghis parents and siblings.

If you can see any of these in your PRs for Cradley I would be most grateful.
