[grangers14]

Hang on, the marriage has been looked up,
Alice is here
http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... =962514280

[Northern Lass]

Ok well spotted
so as soon as Thomas is added or checked that not on already

we can connect up

Chris you ok with that? ie connecting that Alice up

[chrisg]

That's fine when we've sorted out Thomas - there is an eligible one on BCC
http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tribe/browse?userid=bcconnections&view=0&pid=23726&rand=731383309
but I don't know if it's the right one - any thoughts?

I'll go back through the earlier Census data to see if there are any clues.

[Northern Lass]

Hmmm could be....

Ok we need a marriage for Thomas and Sarah
and
earlier census pls
that hackett as her father concerns me


1871. Corngreaves Rd, Rowley Regis.
Thomas Westwood 33. Chainmaker.
Sarah Westwood 33.
Mary A Westwood 15.
Elizabeth Westwood 11.
Alice Westwood 6.
Sarah E Westwood under 1 month.
John Westwood 34. Boarder.

All born Rowley Regis.

for the mo Chris add in Thomas and just slot a note on the one you add ie might be on bcc already and add the dob of that
one on bcc....then when we prove it we can merge them

and on the one already on on that Thomas, add this Thomas may be on bcc married to Sarah tbc

then if confirmed all you do is click on add a son for Isaac the father and then connect to thomas married to sarah
that is where I change the surname to the word test so I can spot it easily when I am finding the name in the list
and then once connected I change the surname back
if you not too sure on how to do this I can show you
so just let me know
that goes for any of the members

[chrisg]

OK 1861 Census - note different birth places, also Joseph who not on 1871.

1861 Census
Congreaves Road, Reddall Hill, Rowley Regis
Thomas Westwood, Head, Mar, 23, Chain Maker, Cradley Heath
Sarah Westwood, Wife, Mar, 23, Nail Maker, Old Hill
Mary Ann Westwood, Daur, 5, Scholar, Old Hill
Joseph Westwood, Son, 2, Cradley Heath
Elizabeth Westwood, Daur, 1, Cradley Heath

Also there are 2 possibles in 1851

Four Ways, Reddall Hill, Rowley Regis
Joseph Westwood, Head, Mar, 52, Chain Maker
Elizabeth Westwood, Wife, Mar, 51, at Home

Thomas Westwood, Son, U, 12, Chain Maker
