Yes all that info is pertectly correct. Here are a few additions:

David snr born 3 August 1856

David jnr born 8 Sept 1877.
Died 8 October 1952

Prudence Dunn born 20 Sept 1878
Died 18 January 1962.

Yes please, that would be good. I'll get back to you when I have confirmation of year of James and Hannahs death.

Think a trip to the archives would be a good idea! Can you just turn up or have to book?
I've got the date that Solomon b 1838, died (20 july 1914) and his son David (b 1857) died in 1904 if you want to put them on BCC. Again, thanks for your help!

Thats lovely thanks for getting that info! Live quite near but would have to get someone to take me over (dont drive)!! At least, like you say, the death records would confirm James and Hannahs age when they died. I'd wondered if there were any children born before Mary b 1816 especially that they m...

Got Baptisms for Thomas b 1820, James b 1821, David b 1823, John b 1824, Richard b 1824, Hannah b 1827 and Solomon b 1838 from FamilySearch.org. All christened Rowley Regis

On my records I have James and Hannah having 11 children. The first one I have listed is Mary b 1816 followed by Sarah b 1817. The first son, born 1820 was Thomas. Not sure if any children were born before Mary - unable to find any. I'd estimated that James might've died after 1851 because had not b...

How would I be able to confirm if Thomas is James's father then? No birth certificate for him nor fathers name on early marriage records? Any Ideas? Sounds confusing!

Just to make sure, I'll get the birth certificate for Solomon! The line I follow is James b 1792, Solomon b 1838-1914, David b1856-1904, David b 1877-1952 and then my father James b 1916, who is now 96 years old! He is really interested family research and was pleased to know we had found that James...

Almost sure I had information of James Davis and Hannah Hipkiss off Ancestry!

Yes that is THE James! Thanks for that! Hav'nt got Solomons birth certificate only marriage certificate which has James Davis as his father. Not sure where I had Hipkiss from although definetely know James was married to Hannah.

James is only the Census for 1841 and 1851. He may have died before the next one! I have checked both Census and in 1841 it says he was born abt 1796 and on the 1851 Census it states abt 1792. I have checked to see if there are any other Davis/Davies family members living nearby and coming from Lanc...

Thats great thanks! I'll make a note of those dates - they look good but think I would need to confirm his fathers name with other records - Any ideas?

Did'nt realise fathers names were'nt listed on marriage certificate pre 1837! That was my only hope of confirming James's father. Thanks for supplying the names of Witness's thou! I only know he was born in St Helens, Lancs abt 1792 because its recorded on the Census. Has anyone any ideas how to fin...

Would anyone be kind enough to look up the marriage records of one of my ancestors please. James Davies/Davis was born in St Helens, Lancs abt 1792 and moved to Rowley Regis some time later and married Hannah Hipkiss at St Marys Church, Kingswinford on 26th December, 1811 . I've not been able to get...

Correction: It was the 1901 Census I found Thomas Bagley at the home of William and Caroline Howells and not the 1891, SORRY!!!
