Benjamin Homer married a Mary Unknown and they appear on Census at :-
1861 New St. Dudley Worcs.
Benjm. Homer 21 Coal Miner
Mary Homer 18
Elizth. Homer 12mths.
All b. Dudley Worcs.
1871 Census The Croft Dudley ,Staffs.
Benjamin Homer 38 Coal Miner
Mary Homer 28
Elizabeth 12
Phoebe 8
Edwin 4
Zechariah 1
All b. Worcs.
1881 Census King St. Dudley
Benjamin Homer 44 Coal Miner
Mary Homer 38
Phoebe Homer 16 Nail Maker
Zachariah Homer 11
James Homer 8
Edwin Homer 14 Appr. Plasterer
Benjamin Homer 4
Alice Homer 2
All born Netherton , Worcs.
Connections to Nock and Parsons and Grainger are already on bcc but I believe Mary Unknown was a Mary Spittle
as only marriage I can find to fit ages of children is marriage Benjamin Homer and Mary Spittle St.Thomas Dudley 1859.
It is made difficult by fact that Benjamin,s age varies considerably from Census to Census 1833 to 1840 dob. and their are a lot of Benjamins born in this range who married a Mary

Re: Homer/Spittle/Parsons/Nock/Tromans connection
I wonder if this is the same Netherton Spittle family that connects to the "geographic" Plants? Walter Henry Spittle b. about 1868 Netherton, son of Arthur Spittle b. about 1827 Netherton, married Adeline Plant b. Dec. Qu. 1864 Brierley Hill, Staffordshire at St John the Evangelist, Kates Hill, Dudley in 1888 and had had 8 children by 1901. Adeline was the daughter of Robert Plant b. 1841 Brockmoor and Ann Maria Jeavons b. 1840 Brockmoor, Robert being the son of Reuben Plant b. 1803 and Maria Westwood b. 1810. These are the Spittles:

Re: Homer/Spittle/Parsons/Nock/Tromans connection
Hi Mumbles
I think it is Spittle
on the 1871 ...transcribed as hemer on ances
next door to Benj and mary is Edward Spittle and wife sarah
8 The Croft Netherton Dudley
Edward Spittle h m 50 Coal miner b Netherton Dudley
Sarah Spittle wife 50 nailer
Thomas Spittle son un 35
Mary Spittle dau 28 nailer
Zachariah Spittle son 26
Caroline Spittle dau 31????
now of course Mary is down in that family ....so an error...possibly
submitted entry on IGI has Edward and Sarah
so a marriage look up is the best see if the Mary that married Benj Homer has a father Edward

Re: Homer/Spittle/Parsons/Nock/Tromans connection
On the 1881 Elizabeth Homer is with Edward Spittle and wife Sarah at The Croft Netherton
and she is down as G.dau age 21
that sorts it for me
so Mumbles would you like to do the honours and add her name
I will add the marriage to verify too
now if we could link up with those plants Dennis adds
