RF very kindly did this marriage lookup...
26 Aug 1901 St Thomas, Dudley
Joseph Hale,33,bachelor,labourer, resident Dixons Green, father David Hale (deceased),
Hannah Hewitt,37,spinster, resident Dixons Green, father Henry Hewitt(deceased).
Joseph Hale signed, 'mark of ' Hannah Hewitt
Witnesses. William Faulkes & Sarah Faulkes, both signed
I don't think Joseph or his father David are on BCC... I think this might be the family?
1871 24 Mount St, Sedgley, Staffordshire, England
David Hale,31,head, married,labourer,
Sophia,33,wife,
Ambrose,7,son,
Jane E,4,daughter,
Joseph,2,son,
John Wall,48,lodger,unmarried,nailmaker. (could he be Sophia's brother or uncle?)
All born Sedgley
Possible marriage for David & Sophia...

Returning to Hannah Hewitt .... could she be the Hannah on BCC here?
http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... onnections
The Hannah there has birthdate of 1861 .... but looking at the 1881 census there... her birthdate would be 1864... same as the Hannah who marries Joseph Hale
So is she the Hannah on BCC

Any thoughts?
Thankyou
