Thanks very much folks. They are almost certainly my Fletcher's

Hello folks, I've been stuck on finding my G-G-G-Grandmothers family for ages. In the 1841 census, Sarah Adams was noted as from Rowley Regis, but subsequent cenus to the last record in 1861, she was down as being born in Manchester. Sarah Adams was probably Sarah Bate before her marriage to Thomas ...

Oct-Nov-Dec quarter.

Q: Was Harriets father, William Fletcher?

Thanks

OK to go ahead Jan. Thanks very much for this lookup. Substanciated what I felt sure was the case from the marriage certificate.

..... also another note of interest in archive regarding my Adams blog. I've got the marriage certificate of Alfred and Hannah 1874. Witnesses were Benjamin Cole who I believe is Hannah's brother in law and a Eliza Paynes. PeterD and Mallosa found Ann Paynes who she thought married Hannah's uncle Jo...

All Ok Jan. Alfred Fletcher Jr wife was Mary Oakwell born Union House, Sedgley, 24th September 1876-have birth certificate. Married Alfred on 29th May, 1898 at Holy Trinity, Old Hill-have marriage certificate. Note of interest. I've dug out marriage certificate and you will be aware, one of my blogs...

Thanks Jo.

Yes thats got a good chance Jo! Wife was Mary Anne. I don't get ancestry sometimes. Still brings up targets pretty randomly sometimes. I found the 1861 in Harbourne further up the post, but was then uncertain. Didn't bring up 1871 you have found. Can't find them or William in 1851. I'm using both di...

Sorry Jo I'm getting mixed up with my wifes other side, Harris and an Emily from that marriage. This is probably William Crumpton and Mary in 1881. My wife's relation was Julia Harris ne Crumpton. Funny thing is some of the children are pre-1856 marriage. The area is bang on though for later generat...

Don't think it's him in 1861.

In 1871 the children we know of fit. He was then a Poultry dealer. Don't know if that's any connection with "flighter"

Found him in 1861 when he was a bolt forger.
still looking for 1851

I had thought that Joseph had married Maria Baker in 1841 at St Thomas Dudley. This makes more sense!

Thanks.

Seems like Sarah was from Manchester folks. I must have confused Sarah's a couple of years ago because I was sure then she was also in 1861 census with Thomas. A few of my other contacts in the past also had Thomas dying in 1866 but I can't find them, only Sarah from Manchester with young Thomas and...

Hi Jo,

It's hard to make out. Looks like Flighter. I'll try and find him on census and see what that says.
