I wasn't sure where to post this as my ancestor spent his life in three separate English counties during his life so didn't feel right to plonk this in each one of those sub-forums! Please feel free to move it elsewhere if necessary!

I am trying to find more information on my 6th great grandfather, Joseph Hicklin.

I know the following details -



1828
(18th Feb)   19   Marriage to Elizbath Cotterill (1804-1830) at Abbots Bromley, Staffs.   They had two children - Joseph (b.1828) and Samuel (b.1829)

1832
(2nd Oct)   24   Marriage to Mary Thursfield (1811-1842) at Aston Juxta, Warwicks.   They had four children - George (b.1834), Edward (b.1836), Sarah (b.1838) and Martin (b.1840)

1841   30   Census   Holly Hall, Dudley, Worcs.   Occupation – agricultural labourer

1851
(23rd Jun)   43   Marriage to Sarah Boswell (1805-1870) at Dudley, Staffs.

1861   53   Census   Cannock Chase, Hammerwich, Staffs.   Occupation – agricultural labourer



I am still missing his birth record - though both his census records suggest he was born circa 1808 at Sutton, Staffs.?

I also need his 1851 census record.

And also his death record. I have found a few Joseph Hicklin's dying around the area between 1865 and 1876 but I can't confirm any to be certainly him.

Could anyone on here point me towards something I've missed or give me a new way of finding the information I am in need of?

Thank you.

On 1851 marriage his father's name is Samuel Hicklin.

Possible baptism:

1805 - Yoxall, Staffs
Joseph Hicklin to parents Samuel & Sarah Hicklin.

Yoxall isn't far from the 1851 marriage location.

The Sept 1876 death is for an elderly man named Joseph Hicklin who took his own life at or near a farm in Sedgeley. They reckon his age was between 60 to 70.

Thanks guys.

I found the 1876 death, but the certificate wasn't signed by a family member, and I would have thought there'd be an 1871 census record too?

Anything for the 1851 census?

Nothing so far. What sites are you checking for him? Ancestry, FS, FindMyPast?

Ancestry.

Just found a potential fourth marriage!

His third marriage ended when Sarah Boswell died in May 1870 - then maybe he married Hannah Baffy at Pelsall in July 1870? https://www.ancestry.co.uk/discoveryui-content/view/1019032:62293

Born about 1806, father Samuel...

Sarah Boswell's death certificate states she resided at Brownhills.

The Joseph Hicklin that married two months later resided at Bloxwich, a mile away...

1871 census - https://www.ancestry.co.uk/discoveryui-content/view/24106508:7619?tid=&pid=&queryId=7f31f19c-2708-48cf-b6bc-7392e82ac353&_phsrc=opR2581&_phstart=successSource

Reckon I've cracked it?

Sorry, some of us on RC don't have Ancestry subs. Unable to view the link you provided.

Are they living at Brownhills, Walsall Wood, Staffordshire? Well, his birth place matches the 1805 baptism found earlier.
