Can anybody help?
I am stuck on a Smith!!!
I have a Joseph Smith in my tree and I've come to a full stop with him!
My info so far is:
Joseph Smith born about 1834 in Bilston (info from 1871 census). He was married to a Martha (surname unknown). By 1871 they were living in West Bromwich. They had as far as I can tell three children: James (1859), Fred 1865, and Frank (1868) - all three on the 1871 census as being born in West Bromwich. I have been unable to locate the family before 1871, or (apart from James) after 1871. Josephs occupations are listed as railway plate layer, and watchman.
James married Clara Wright in Tipton in 1882, but in 1881 I have found him living in Old Meeting Street, West Bromwich where he lived (various addresses) at least until 1911.
Any help or suggestions gratefully received!
