Ruth's sister, Sarah Mansell, died 14 Dec 1886 at Bicester, Oxfordshire.

She was buried 18 Dec 1886 at St Edburgh's Church, Bicester, Oxfordshire.

Sarah left a Will leaving £276 10s 10d which was proved by her nephew Joseph Connup of Blackheath and a John Bloomer of Cradley Heath

[grangers14]

Can anyone see them in 1841?

[annies199]

I haven't found then in 1841 census yet.
Ruths sister Maria married Thomas Fellows (on BCC)
Other sister Phoebe married Joseph Bloomer (on BCC)

The will states:- I also give and bequeath unto my daughter Ruth the sum of one hundred pounds. I also give and bequeath to my son John the sum of forty pounds out of one hundred pounds which I have on mortgage at Benjamin Connops at Halesowen.
The house was given to Sarah, on re-reading the will, and was at Martius Mill Street, Dudley. Not sure if address right as will hard to read.

In the 1881 census the Maria Stevens I think was the great niece not neice - daughter of Edward Stevens and Caroline Swift. Edward is son of John Stevens and Olivia Billingham.

Hope this helps
