Thomas E.Weston son 28 Wharfinger
JESSE E.WESTON son 27 Butcher
ALFRED WESTON son 24 Butcher

All others born Amblecote.

I suppose it's always possible that Elizabeth Weston thourght they would be staying there that night, but they changed their plans. Do you know if they had their shop on the High Street?

Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority.

I've found it happening, especially with children, when they live in one place and have stayed overnight with relatives
There's no place like home ......
