Hi Jan

Yes you have the right family.

John Corbett died 29th August 1868 aged 35.  Hence I gave this year as the cut off for any births,

Hi Sue

Here's the baptisms that you requested:-

All CORBET, parents JOHN and MARY ANN of Claypits, father's occupation: Brickmaker

• No: 765         Samuel              Jan 28th 1855
• No: 1094       John Edward       Aug 1st 1856
• No: 1433       John                 May 21st 1858
• No: 1832       Edward             April 25th 1860
• No: 2238       William Henry      July 23rd 1862

I also found the following:-

Still John and Mary Ann, address: Wrekin Road, father's occupation: Brickmaker

• No: 1104       Edward James     Aug 27th 1856
• No: 718         Phoebe              May 22nd 1867

The names match with the census information, but seems odd to have John Edward and Edward James baptised different days in the same month

I couldn't find a baptism for daughter Jane, but there's always the possibility that I missed it

There were so many Corbet baptisms, to lots of different couples.  I'm sure they must all be related in some way.

Hi Jan

Many thanks for these.

I am still confused as before.

Edward seems to be a popular name with the family!

I think Clay Pits was on Wrekin Road so I know these are the same family.

I will keep trying to get the pieces to fit together.

Again thank you.

Hi Sue

Glad to be of help.

I am hoping to make the Archives trip fairly regularly - maybe fortnightly - so keep your look up requests coming
