*Arc tbc*--Oldbury Burials

[Truebrit]

Hi

I am hoping that someone may be able to help me to locate the following burials as i am not familiar with the area:

Benjamin Roberts - died 23/03/1859, aged 57, living at Rounds Green, Oldbury (long term resident)
Ann Roberts (wife of Benjamin) - died 28/01/1865, aged 64, living at Portway Road, Oldbury (long term resident of Oldbury)

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for those links.

Mmm - quite a few churches there although only one Cemetary of the right time (West Bromwich).

I'm not sure what to do now!

I don't know what to suggest TB

Do you know where any of the family were buried?
or where they got married
may have favoured a partic church

Thanks again for replying.

The couple were married at St Thomas, Dudley in 1825 - although they were from Wolverhampton and Tipton prior to that. They subsequently lived in Rounds Green, Oldbury for the rest of their life.

I am researching their son Thomas Roberts, who moved to Cannock around 1881 after his wife's death, following which i have lost him. Thomas married at St James, Dudley and his wife was buried at St Mark's, Pensnett.

So there is not really much of a pattern to go on!

think you are going to be stuck on this without going thru all the churches in the area

so going to flag to archive this now.
