Hello Manse49
On your posting for Elizabeth Gibbens, you mention "Daniels" and the "Budbrooke Farm".
My Mother's grandparents lived on the farm in the late 1800s. They managed the farm. Their names were George Henry Hall (b1859, d1939) and Sarah Ann Hall (Barlow)(b1865, d1943).
They had 10 children, all born on the farm.
My Mother used to help out on the farm in August during her school break when she was a child (she was born in 1921).
My question:
My Father's father was Josiah Charles Southam, born in 1870 in Hartshill, Warwickshire. His mother was Rose Ann Southam. Josiah was illegitimate. Rose then married Walter Wallace Daniels on May 15, 1875 in Birmingham. They went on to have 4 children, Walter Wallis, William Dudley, Edith and Nelly Rose.
Josiah married Alice Rose Hall (b1887, d1949) who was one of the 10 Hall children that lived on the Budbrooke Farm. Josiah emigrated to Canada in approx 1904 and went back to Budbrooke to marry her on July 18, 1910. They both went to Stratford, Ontario, Canada to live shortly after.
Some how, between 1870 (when Josiah was born) and 1904 (when Josiah emigrated to Canada) Josiah met Alice Rose Hall.
After Josiah was born, his mother Rose Ann was living in Ebrington (UK 1871 Census). By 1881 (UK 1881 Census) Rose Ann was married and living in Birmingham with Walter Wallace Daniels.
Did Walter Wallace Daniels work on the Budbrooke Farm as a labourer? My Mother said that the Halls had about 10 men who lived locally working on the farm when she was a child.
Your help in this search would be very helpful. Thanks, Gerald
