*Arc tbc* ---Another Hadley - Siviter marriage.

[LeeSteventon]

Still looking at the Hadley's (as many people are it seems!)

Funny that the Homer's and Tonks's also link. I have quite a bit of info on both of those families (on and offline)

Let me know what you need. Sarah Jane Tonks (b. abt 1858) was married to Thomas Jones (b. abt 1858) He was also known as "Sealskin Jones" and was a boatman on the Dudley canals. He was my (still living) paternal grandmother's grandfather, on her mother's side. He used to have his boat tied up at the Whimsey Bridge and frequented the pub there (which I believe is long since demolished). There are a couple of songs about him and I have them on CD somewhere.

Another interesting realative of mine is Brian Dakin (aka Billy Spakemon). A Black Country linguistic expert who is well known in the BlackCountry for his verses, talks and poems. He is my paternal grandmother's nephew.

Will add more to the various families in time..

By the way, just to add another factor to the already complicated equation , There is ANOTHER Ephraim Hadley (brother of Ephraim Hadley b. 1860, m. Mary Siviter). This other Ephraim Hadley was born, and died, on 4th November 1858 aged 10 seconds! (death certificate available for BCC)
