1861 Peartree Street, Rowley Regis Entry 193 Elisha Willitts Head 44 Nail Maker b. Worcs., Cradley b. 1817 Susannah Willitts Wife 46 Nail Maker b. Staffs., Rowley Regis b. 1815 John Willitts Son 22 Nail Maker b. Staffs., Rowley Regis b. 1839 Moses Willitts Son 19 Nail Maker b. Staffs., Rowley Regis b. 1842 Emanuel Willitts Son 12 Nail Maker b. Staffs., Rowley Regis b. 1849 Elijah Willitts Son 10 Nail Maker b. Staffs., Rowley Regis b. 1851
Elisha says he was born Cradley on here, whether he was or not, is not important, but I think this confirms he is the same Elizah in Gorsty Hill 1871 Linell.
That was my point really, he is down as Cradley except in that possible 1871 entry. I wasn't ruling it out but just noting it. I didn't put the kids in but agree it would be good to have them born in the right place

I would have thought that Elisha Married to Susannah and Elisha in Gorsty Hill 1871 is the same person, but FS has now found another one born Cakemore, he is the wrong age so it must be the one in Gorsty Hill Linell.
