Re: Thomas Davies & Sarah Kesterton 1839 St Thomas Dudley
I honestly don't know!
This is Sarah's family I think. Names and address fit the marriage certificate.
1841
Dudley, The Dock
Piece: 1196
Book: 5
Folio: 13
Page Number: 18
Household Members:
Name Age
Benjn Hesterton 47 whitesmith N
Sarah Kasterton 40 N
Banjamin Kasterton 12 Y
Thomas Kasterton 10 Y
Charles Kasterton 5 Y
Benjamin Guest 18 whitesmith's apprentice Y
1851'
Dudley, Old Dock
Household Schedule Number: 67
Piece: 2032
Folio: 502
Page Number: 21
Benjamin Kesterson 56 Whitesmith Portsmouth
Sarah Kesterson 50 West Bromwich
Thomas Kesterson 21 Dudley
Charles Kesterson 17 Dudley
Mary A Kesterson 8 g dau Dudley
Caroline Kesterson 4 g dau Dudley
So I think the family in Yorkshire is probably right, given the similar first names.
But if so, what do we know about Thomas?
Born about 1816 in Dudley
Father William Davies, a nailor
There is a baptism at St Thomas
25 Dec 1814 Thomas, son of William (nailor) and Mary Davies
The 1841 on BCC has
William Davies 20
Gheeney Davies 20
Mary Davies 70
Elizabeth Davies 20
William Davies 5 Mo
I would like to know who Elizabeth is, and who William jnr is
This is Sarah's family I think. Names and address fit the marriage certificate.

Re: Thomas Davies & Sarah Kesterton 1839 St Thomas Dudley
I think we can agree Sarah Kesterton's family is sorted and ready to be added to BCC. Along with the marriage look up.
Thomas However, I think is still a mystery and I'm really not sure of the connection I first thought, so best to archive for now Thanks
