[DavidGBUK]

I am trying to find out more information on my great grand father, I know my ancesters came from the 'Black Country'
My great Grand Fathers name was Joseph Billingham, he married Harriett Beasley. (I have no birth dates or marriage information)
I was told by my grand father now deceased that his father died at home he could not remember the year sometime he though during the 1950's
Joseph and Harriet had nine children according to what my father told me. again these figures are not confirmed. they were as follows.

Yes the name William Hodgkiss has com up in the past I never knew his relation to my great grand father. it looks like this could be the Joseph I after.
