*Archived * -Benjamin Brettell 1778 - 1845

[FarSide]

I don't see them on the 51

1841
Abelwell Street, Walsall Borough
Benjamen Brittell 60 - Ind
Susana Brittell 60
not b in county

are these still around on 1851 census?

[Northern Lass]

Yes, I think 2 Benjamins ...

This looks like Nancy Hardiman remarries after Benjamin’s death pre-1841. Her second husband appears to be Joseph FOWLER. Benjamin not present and Nancy remarried, so can’t be the same Benjamin Brittell with Susana in the 1841 that FS found.

1841 - Pare (Pear) Tree St., Rowley Regis
Joseph Fowler 35 Coal Miner N b. 1806
Nancy Fowler 20 (indistinct) N b. 1821 or if age is 40 - 1801
Nancy Brittle 15 Y b. 1826
Lucy Brittle 14 Y b. 1827
Meria Brittle 12 Y b. 1829
Mary Brittle 7 Y b. 1834
Benjamin Brittle 6 Y b. 1835
Josiah Brittle 3 Y b. 1838
Fanny Brittle 9 Mo Y b. 1840
Hannah Fowler 20 N b. 1821

It looks like Benjamin would have to have died 1840ish by date of Fanny’s birth.

FreeBMD Marriage
Nancy Brettell 1841 Stourbridge Shropshire, Staffordshire, West Midlands, Worcestershire
Joseph Fowler 1841 Stourbridge Shropshire, Staffordshire, West Midlands, Worcestershire

And a 3rd marriage and widowhood for Nancy??? (Can’t find the marriage, though)

1851 - Back of Garratts Lane, Rowley Regis
Nancy Tromans Head W 50 Nailmaker b. Worcs., Halesowen
Mary A Brettle Daur U 20 Nailmaker b. Staffs., Rowley Regis
Benjamin Brettle Son U 16 Coalminer b. Staffs., Rowley Regis
Josiah Brettle Son U 12 Chainmaker b. Staffs., Rowley Regis
Maria Cooper (nee Brettell?) Lodger M 23 Chainmaker b. Staffs., Rowley Regis
Timothy Cooper Son 5 b. Staffs., Rowley Regis
Hannah Cooper Daur 3 b. Staffs., Rowley Regis
Thomas Cooper 2 b. Staffs., Rowley Regis
Mary A Brettle Lodger 18 U Nailmaker b. Staffs., Rowley Regis
Benjamin Brettle Son 2 b. Staffs., Rowley Regis
John Brettle Son 1 Mo b. Staffs., Rowley Regis

It appears that Mary Ann Brettle, lodger, aged 18 unmarried, is the mother of 2 illeitimate children and there is another Mary Ann aged 20, also unmarried, as Daughter of Nancy. Did they put Mary Ann down twice?

Di is there any chance you could stick this on Connections that you found please?

[dianel]

Sure.

[dianel]

OK, put my lot on ... and while I was at it, found a connection to Dennis and my Plant line, here ...

Great stuff Di!

[dianel]

Found these:

Extracted entry:
NANCY HARDEMAN
Christening: 25 DEC 1801 Halesowen, Worcester
Father: JOSIAH HARDEMAN
Mother: ANN

Other children to Josiah & Ann:

JAMES HARDIMAN - Christening: 16 APR 1786 Halesowen, Worcs.
JOHN HARDEMAN - Christening: 06 APR 1788 Halesowen, Worcs.
JOSIAH HARDIMAN - Christening: 01 AUG 1790 Halesowen, Worcs.
WILLIAM HARDIMAN - Christening: 01 JUL 1792 Halesowen, Worcs.
LUCY HARDIMAN - Christening: 30 MAR 1794 Halesowen, Worcs.
CHARLES HARDIMAN - Christening: 31 DEC 1797 Halesowen, Worcs.

The names of the children make me think that this is probably Nancy’s natal family.

What do you think? Need that look-up to confirm.

[Northern Lass]

Yep that makes much more sense...
Do you fancy entering that lot and if any different when I do the look up I will sort it.
But to me it looks very very good as you say names of the kids.

[linell]

Hi all, Lucy and Wm Hardman were witnesses to the Marriage of Benjamin and Nancy so it must be the right family. linell
