Sarah Cox 1871 Rowley Regis--Jo adding Bcc
http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... ver=360037
I have a problem with the marriage of Sarah Cox to William Rowbottom . I have a marriage certificate that says that she married William Thomas Bishton on the 14 July 1901 Parish Church of Blackheath .
William Bishton 39 Widower Boilermaker Station Lane Father; Thomas Bishton (Dec) Manager, Sarah Cox 29 Spinster Oldbury Road Father; James Cox Collier Wit: Henry Crane and Mary Woodward
In some of your cenuses the address for Sarah is Oldbury Road , which is the same address on the marriage certificate . Just wondered what u think ? DT

Re: Sarah Cox 1871 Rowley Regis--Jo adding Bcc
I have been searching for some childrens names...
Lily is with her uncle Harry Dorse in the 1901 census, I can connect up while waiting on marriage look up.
Lizzie in 1901 aged 18...Could she be Hannah Elizabeth b Dec quarter 1892??
Maria in 1911 aged 18 born USA... is meant to be born the same year but isn't on the 1901 census that I can see anywhere? I can see nothing on the family leaving uk or returning??
