There is a marriage for a Major Hale in 1842
West Midlands Marriage indexes for the years: 1842
Surname Forename(s) Surname Forename(s) Church / Register Office Registers At Reference
HALE Major RICHMOND Hannah Sedgley, All Saints Dudley Register Office 216/002/360
I will post this marriage for lookup.
Is Hannah Richmond the wife in 1851? ... I know that Anns and Hannahs are sometimes 'one and the same'
Now I am in a bit of a muddle over who the kids belong to on that 1851 census.
I guess Henry Richmond should really be stepson?
Sarah and Mary Ann are maybe daughters of Major and Hannah?
.... and the older children from a previous marriage for Major?
Just need a a bit of help sorting this one out .... a bit out of practice!
Thankyou
