Hello
Have been viewing your site and found some really useful info and amazed by how helpful everyone seems. I am new to forums in general so please forgive if I dont follow the etiquette.
I am interested in the Mason Wallace Brettle Families Dudley/ Lye / Netherton and the Bastable and Keefes from Oldbury.
After reading Mallosa's post of the 4.8.11 I think I have gone wrong with my tree.
I'm a descendant of Jabez Brettle abt 1854 Dudley. I believed he was the son of Edward Brettle 1834 Woodside and Sarah (Round) married 11 Dec 1854. The 1861 census shows Jabez, Edward and Sarah living in Blue Pig row in Dudley. I have Edward Christened at Particular Baptist, Cradley 27 Feb 1834 father Solomon Edward 1807 - 1837. However I am now worried that I either have the wrong Edward or the wrong marriage for Edward and Sarah and possibly the wrong Sarah. Mallosa's post of the 4 Aug 2011 shows an Edward Brettles marriage to a Sarah Round in 1854 but with a different father for Edward so I must be on the wrong track. I can not find Jabez's birth records to get his moms maiden name so really dont know where to go from here. Can you help in any way please?
Hope all this makes sense kind regards Dawn

Hi Dawn, Welcome to the forum
A person should have an opinion on everything, It becomes tact whether you reveal that opinion or not.
