Hi, I’m trying to work out the ancestors of John Oakley and his wife Clara, who are from the Bilston area, both born about 1862 to 1865.
I've been working on this for a 60th birthday present due 11th December, sorry I've not been contributing on other threads, but hope to later.
Marriage Index, 1886, Qtr2, Atcham, Shropshire, Vol 6A Page 1219
John Oakley married either Clara Jane Blakemore or Lizzie Roberts
I can’t find parish records for this to check the fathers names, can anyone please?
Here is the census and GRO information I've found for their children
