The dates and names match so may be the same person. The first tribal pages link is the one that I use when looking up my Billingham ancestory - had not checked the other one as only found Sophia's father's name on Sunday. I was speaking to my father's cousin (Martha Willetts nee Billingham's son) earlier this week - he has little information on Sophia but believes her family may not have been from Birmingham itself.

I do not have a marriage date for Martha but she did marry a Herbert Willetts so think it may well be correct - I may be able to ask her son if he is well enough to talk. I notice Herbert's mother's surname is Dingley and I have photos of a Clara Dingley and a Mary Dingley in Nathan Taylor's leather photo album so wonder if there is a connection given how near to each other all my relatives seem to have lived - had the photos on my list of mysteries to sort so again I may try asking my dad's cousin if I can.

It sure does Jo!
Nathan Taylor's photo album is certainly throwing up some very useful information!

By the way Frodo, you say "I notice Herbert's mother's surname is Dingley" What evidence do you have? :?

No evidence at the moment - just comparing the 2 Black Country Connections Herbert Willetts and recognised a surname that tied in with the photo album - have never really talked much about the Willetts side of the family with my dad's cousin - all my paperwork is on the Taylor side - I just have a few photos of the Billinghams.
