Re: William Brettle B est 1820
That looks a good possible thanks FS for the family in 1841.
Doesnt prove anything though
There is 2 Williams and Pheobes married, 3 Sarah Anns born <5> 1850
Sarah Ann Brettell - 1848 - Apr-May-Jun - Stourbridge - Volume: 18 Page: 513
Sarah Ann Brettell- 1853 - Apr-May-Jun - Dudley - Volume: 6c Page: 126
Sarah Ann Brettle - 1848 - Oct-Nov-Dec - Dudley - Volume: 18 Page: 2[58]9 (to me it looks like xviii 289)
Can someone help in possible areas likely for her?
Jo

Re: William Brettle B est 1820
I think that the 1841 census Park Lane Cradley Jimmy posted is a completely different family. I have some wills for a family of Cradley Brettell's, they are all bricklayers. The wills are dated 1731,1732,1768, 1769 and 1829. The latest will is of Joseph brettell of Cradley made in 1823 he was born about 1755, wife Ann children James Samuel George Edward Mary Elizabeth Sharlotteand Hannah
