*Arc tbc* ---More Groves of Halesowen

[dianel]

Peter has got me going on Groves of Halesowen, and while I was ferreting about, these Ancestry family trees caught my eye:

Several Ancestry Family trees have : Marriage 27 Apr 1823, Hartlebury, Worcs.
James Grove & Ann Pekes
James mother: Elizabeth Grove
Eldest son, Joseph b. 1825, Halesowen m. (Hannah) Maria Hughes

Joseph and (Hannah) Maria Hughes rang a bell, and here they are:

So is Joseph's mum Ann Pekes?

There's an IGI submitted entry:
Joseph Grove Christened 1825, Halesowen
Parents: James Grove & Ann

Also a submitted entry:
Marriage: James Groves & Ann Pekes 27 APR 1823

I can't see extracted entries for either of these.

So looking at the census:

1841
At Islington, Halesowen
James Grove 30 In... (indecipherable) Y
Ann Grove 30 N
Joseph Grove 15 Y b. 1826 Could be the right Joseph
James Grove 10 Y
Mary Grove 8 Y
Ann Grove 5 Y
Benjamin Grove 1 Y

1851

There was another daughter to James & Ann (extracted entry):

And Joseph and Maria named their first daughter Letitia

Joseph Groves married Hannah Maria Hughes 25 Dec 1845, St. Thomas, Dudley

Joseph, son of James & Ann not with that family in 1851, and here are Joseph and Maria:
1851

Maria Wife 26 Button Driller b. Worcs., Halesowen

A bit circumstantial, but what do you think? Is this Joseph's birth family?

[linell]

The Marriage 27.4.1823 Halesowen is James Grove and Ann Pekes, not Perks, so obviously, a similiar name but much later couple? Linell.
