Re: Billinghams

but was she dau of Dimmocks....
"Caroline (keturahs mother ) was born in 1842 to Samuel and Mary Ann Dimmock,
she married John Edwards in 1862 but he died in a mining disaster in 1867 4 months after Keturah was born .
Caroline re-married in 1869 to William Smith by whom she had 7 children.
She died in 1912"

Surname Forename(s) Surname Forename(s) Church / Register Office Registers At Reference
DIMMOCK Caroline EDWARDS John Dudley, St Edmund Dudley Register Office 201/004/16
the edwards and smith marriage will verify which one but I think it is the Dimmock one
