After a series of cat-related traumas I might have my head back in the ancestor space but I'm not making headway.
George Harvey, born around 1860, definitely married Ellen Ballard in Sep 1887 at King's Norton. They had six children together with the GRO registrations showing Ballard as mother...
I have never established exactly WHICH Elizabeth Hadley started the Hadley line of my family DNA. There is an Elizabeth Hadley but no father listed in the Baptism record for Obedience/ Bede:
FamilySearch: Bede Hadley Christening 22 Apr 1787
Place Halesowen, Worcestershire, England
Mother...
This fellow comes from a large family and was the first born:
GRO HARVEY, WILLIAM HODWELL HODWELL [sic] HOWDLE GRO Reference: 1848 M Quarter in DUDLEY UNION Volume 18 Page 360
Father was Joseph Harvey (1827- 1874) and mother Elizabeth Howdle (1829- 1907).
Family reported at England 1851...
This individual is one of my GGG Aunts on my paternal side. She married the brother of my GGGF, who married her sister Obedience Hadley.
As with Obedience/Bede, her Baptism has been difficult to locate, but an unresponsive Anc member has Sarah Susannah baptised on 8 JUN 1800 at Halesowen...
I have fairly firmly decided that my GGGM's parents were Mary and William Boden.
Jane Boden was baptised 7 May 1809 at St Thomas Church, Dudley, Worcestershire, England; From FreeReg.
I have a copy of the Marriage Cert. of Jane and my GGGF, William Harvey for 1832 in Handsworth, Staffordshire...
I have never located a baptism/birth record for this grandmother. I have assumed that her parents were George Hadley and Ann Guest from groupings of names in the England 1841/51 censuses and from her marriage. She married William Harvey/Hervey on
25 May 1806 at St Martin's Church, Birmingham...
I am drowning in Evans, Jones, Williams, Griffiths and other Welsh name lovables.
I know that a John Evans, apparently an Innkeeper, married my GG Aunt Julia Walker. In FreeBMD it shows:Marriage
Registration Year 1860
Registration Quarter Apr-May-Jun
Registration district Walsall
County...
I have a tangle involving evidence that a much-copied marriage (on THAT website) is actually between the wrong people.
Everyone has this marriage:
Marriages Mar 1872
Allen Moses Dudley 6c 70
Harvey Mary Ann Dudley 6c 70
Then a full sequence of Censuses with...
How can I tell which death record belongs to Jane Walker/Harvey from all the available ones in the BMD? I have found 3 nominally in Walsall at the time, but her address in 1851 being Blue Lane, Walsall puts her closer to Birmingham for death registration. Is there a method for looking up UK...
Mrs Emma Veal(e) died at her residence, 17 Princes Street, St Just on Sunday, February 11, 1906. Amongst her mourners were her son, James, her sister, Mrs W. Hutchens, nieces, Misses C. and M. Hutchens, and nephew, Mr F. Hutchens. Two sons, Rd. Veal and W. Veal were living in Tamarack...
