My name is Helen and I have been researching my family history for about 2 years. Needless to say I have all the information that is easy to find by now and have just got to those frustrating bits that seem just out of reach. Most of my family originate from ROWLEY REGIS, West Midlands and I am particularly interested in PATRICK, PEARSON, STEVENTON & JARVIS. Specifically at the moment I am trying to find information on WILLIAM "BILLY SUGAR" STEVENTON who lived in Oldbury and was hanged in 1828 for stabbing a policemen - does anyone know anything about him or how I can find out about him and family connections - who his wife was, any children ,etc?
cheers, happy to help anyone else where I can,
Looking for inspiration...."BILLY SUGAR" STEVENTON

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