What's puzzled me is that on the 1851 Census Joseph and Sarah have children : Thomas aged 21, Isac 18, James 16, Ester 14, William 12, Mary 8 and David 1. Sarah is stated as being born in Yorkshire parish not known. On the 1861 Census they have daughter Harriet aged 29, grandaughter Jane 15 mths, so...

YEW TREE LANE in Rowley Regis

Please does anyone have any knowledge of Yew Tree Lane in Rowley Regis. My WHILE family lived at number 6 during the 1891 census and were still there during the 1911 census. Prior to that they lived at Tump Road, Rowley Regis.
Thank you.

Thanks. I've replied to your message so hope I've done it right. Will send you the photos as soon as I've scanned them and sorted out the info.

Hi Mallosa, I've been trying to pm you regarding adding my photos to the Gallery, but having difficulty finding my way round how to do it. Sorry to be a dumbo.

Yes, this can be archived now. Thank you all for your help.

Thank you everyone. I was told this site was fast, but WOW I didn't think it would be this fast. The HADLEY connection is interesting. My grandfather Isaac JONES b 1892 was married to Thyrza Ann WHILE (spelt WHYLE on her marriage lines, WILD on her birth certificate and WHILE on censuses). Her mothe...

Thank you, that's excellent. So I'll tell you what I know from the censuses - Isaac JONES b about 1830 was married to Hannah (Unknown surname).

Thank you very much for your help. Incidentally, I believe Eliza who was married to old John WHILE subsequently married someone called TOLLEY after John died in 1864. On 1891 census she is widowed again and living with son John WHILE at 6 Yew Tree Lane, Rowley Regis which is where my grandmother was...

Yes, this is definitely the right WHILE family. I have them on all the censuses except 1871. I've tried all variations of spelling that I can think of. The difficulty I have with the suggestion of sending for both birth certificates but asking them only to send the one with father John is that it's ...

The father's name was John too. I will do as you suggest and hope that one of them has a different named father.
Thank you for the suggestion.

I'm looking for the birth certificate of my great grandfather John WHILE. There are two identical entries in 1847 for John WHILE Rowley Regis Sandwell Register office with different reference numbers ie RR/11145 and RR/11/70. How do I determine which is the right one please? Or should I have put thi...
