Not sure if this is where I should be posting...Re Richard Rich c.1803-1849 married 1827 Dudley to Ann Timmins(Tipton)
Have been stuck for years re. Richard Rich. cannot find a baptism for him.
His, is the only Rich family that I can find in Dudley in 1841. So frustrating..as I have such a strong gut feeling that the following is connected to him, but...nothing concrete to back this up.

Baptism Susanna Rich 2nd Feb 1794 St Martins Birmingham -Parents Thomas + Susanna

Marriage St Martins Tipton By Banns 15 Sept 1817 Susanna Rich +Samuel Griffin (I'm thinking possible half-sister)

1841 Bond St. Dudley H0107/1196 folio 20 page4
Samuel Griffin 40 stone miner yes
Susan 40 no

1851 John St Dudley H0107/2032 folio394 page28
Samuel Griffin 53 collier Dudley
Susanna 57? Birmingham
+ lodger

1861 21, John St, Dudley RG9/2056 folio77 page5
Samuel Griffin 63 formerly limestone miner Dudley blind
Susanna 67 nailer Birmingham

Baptism William Rich 10th Dec 1792 St Martins Birmingham -Parents Thomas + Susanna

Marriage 24 July 1820 St Martins Tipton William Rich + Mary Jewkes Witness Samuel Griffin (2nd marr. for Wlm -1st Mary Gutteridge 25 March 1816)

As I said previously.. cannot find a bapt. for Richard Rich c 1803...a bit of a stretch...but could this be it..
Bapt. Richard Sheldon 28 Dec 1803 St Peter + Paul Aston Birmingham-Parents James + Susanna

Marriage Susanna Rich widow + James Sheldon widower 13 May 1799 St Martins Birmingham

I know it's all wishful thinking.. that somehow Richard wanted to be known as Rich..could he have been brought up by his elder siblings?

Hi
I have Susanna Rich in my family tree born 1781-she is the wife of my 4 x Great Grandfather James Sheldon. It seems when they were married in 1799, she was a widow.
I have been unable to trace her first husband or her maiden name so have come to a dead end. I know she was born in Ireland because that is listed on the 1841 and 1851 census.
I too have hot a brick wall with James Sheldon. So frustrating!
Not sure if any of this helps you
Hope you manage to get some answers soon.

Hello there
At long last...I've seen the 1841/51 census for Sus.Sheldon(Rich) born Ireland..could she be the Sus.Jordan who wed Thomas Rich?..
There is another Sheldon link..in the 1881 census at Tipton with who I believe to be Rich,Rich(Sheldon's) brother Wlm Rich.

In a bit of a hurry at the moment...will get back to you later on today.
