Mmmm I saw that 1901 census and did wonder Jimmy!

His headstone states 'Late of Australia', I wonder when he went there?

I think this one belongs to the Headstone, its the only one that shows a link to Netherton, Ben the con looks like the one that married Elizabeth,


Marriage 29 Dec 1872 Dudley Parish Church
Benjamin Willetts 20 Bach Chain Maker Dudley Benjamin Willetts (dead) Carter
Elizabeth Challoner 18 Spin Dudley Thomas? Challoner Joiner
after Banns
Both (x)
Wit: Susanna Round/John Round
Both (x)

but I can't see him before the marriage.
