...... Not so sure of the son Joseph connection as he was baptised at St Thomas Dudley. I notice that at his marriage to Etty Jones in Sep 1795, Thomas was recorded as resident at Wolverhampton. It would have been nice to see Brewood here.

See my reply #4 re Joseph Willetts. He definitely is connected to Brewood.
The Dudley baptism you have found is not his.

Thomas was married at Wolverhampton, but it does not say he was a resident there. His bride was born there, so the marriage probably took place in her parish.

Thanks for your patience. I must not have access to the same records as I can only find the baptism of a Joseph Willets in Dudley Worc. in 1770

re: the residence of Thomas Willets at his marriage in Sep 1795, I haven't seen the original but the transcription at familysearch does appear to suggest St Peter Wolverhampton

Name   Thomas Willetts
Residence Place   St Peter
Spouse's Name   Ettey Jones
Spouse's Residence Place   St Peter
Event Type   Marriage
Event Date   21 Sep 1795
Event Place   Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, England
Event Place (Original)   Wolverhampton, St Peter, Staffordshire, England

thanks again for the effort put forth. As a person who has spent many many hours on research for others, not for my own line, just to solve a puzzle for interest sake, it is very much appreciated

Just as there is no baptism record for Thomas Willetts 1773 in Brewood, there is also no record for his brother Joesph in 1770. As previously stated, the Roman Catholic records available are very patchy. Most of the Catholic records for Brewood appear to be unavailable online yet.
