Thanks, that would be excellent

Have done, can anyone find the marriage of Willaim Rose and Jane Wheeler?

Thanks both, I will give them both a go

It has taken me two nights to fathom this out but here goes:- Emma is the sister of Hannah, I have found these census's. William Rose is on the marriage certificate as I have it in my possession, as is Benjamin Hackett 1851 Census - 16 Court 5 ****? Smallbrook St, Birmingham William Rose 37 b 1814 N...

A Very Happy New Year to you all, hope 2009 brings you everything you wish for.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE - Hope Santa brings everything you wished for!

Is it a coincidence that the witnesses to Meshach and Hannah were Thomas Hackett and Claire Hadley. Then Meshach's son Thomas married Phoebe Hadley?

Will try and have a look later, must get on with the preperations for Christmas!

Sorry the Thomas I was on about ws his son, it was early for me when I posted

Thomas Hackett was Meshach's brother he was born abt 1879 and died in WW1 at Flanders on 28/5/1918. He married Phoebe Hadley about 1900 on the 1881 Census they were at 10 Market Street Blackheath.

All I have on William Rose is a possible maiden name of wife Jane Page and yes the children tie up with Hannah, Emma and Thomas. They have her age wrong on the 1851 census but correct on 1861.

Details on Cert are:- Marriage Oct 7 1863 The Parish Church of Halesowen Meshach Hacket 21 Bachelor Nailor Boro Benjamin Hackett Nailer Hannah Rose 19 Spinster Boro William Rose Nailer Witnesses Thomas Hackett and Claire Hadley. The first census I found Meshach on was 1871, he was living at 194 Cres...

I can send you Meshach and Hannah's marriage cert if you think it will help.
My Benjamin's birth date is only approx as I have never been able to find him, and only know he is Meshach's father as it says so on the marriage cert.

I agree, my marriage date cannot be correct, I have looked back at my old files and I think it should have been 17/10/1780, happy for you to correct and link where possible.

No ,which makes me think her name is spelt wrong.

Sorry Henry is the son and I have his birth certificate which states his mothers name as Carelefs. Elijah is his father.
