It has to be either Rugeley or Wednesbury from notes I have from my Dad (Lenas Brother). I don't think Lena lived with other family members (rather than Parents) but if she ever did, they hailed from Cannock, Sheffield and Lincolnshire areas. I have been looking up the Girls School options (as they ...

Good Point! I have found no other Hendleys in my family. I sort of assumed, as he was listed as a visitor rather than nephew, and there was an 18 year old girl there, that romance may be the connection. In the 1901 census though my Grandfathers uncle was in the same house as Grandfather and his fami...

Brick wall sounds about right.
I do have Michael Senior now, so I am a bit further on.
Thanks for everyone's help, it's much appreciated.

The visitor in 1851 was the best I could find as well. I couldn't find the 1861 census I have down Michael Groves death in 1889, West Bromwich.

Thanks Heaps Rocky. Mary Ann Father matches the name I had as a highly probable. I looked at the site you mentioned and it doesn't give all the information you gave so I assume you looked it up elsewhere for me. I am extremely grateful, I have been trying to break through that wall for a while. I am...

Thanks for fast reply Peter. As I do some transcribing for freeReg I have access to some photographs of registers... unfortunately not the relevant years for St Thomas. At least I know where to look now. Thank you. I have the census you gave me (well done with the Grones by the way, it took me a goo...

Can anyone help please I am a rather stuck. I cant find the parents of Michael Grove (or Groves) Born 1832-3 West Bromwich (deduced from Census listings). I cant find him in 1861 or 1841 Census.
