Re: James Speake abt 1849

That marriage in 1877 could go either way, seems right as Mills step children but also Davis, but names as Sarah??

Re: James Speake abt 1849
I think we have 2 James
The James that married Hannah lightfoot isnt ours
The James that married Hannah Mills seems more likely as James who married Hannah rowley gives this in 1901
1901 23 Dudley Road Oldbury
James Speake Head 40 Bricklayer Born Quinton
Hannah Speake Wife 41 Born Cakemore
Gertrude Speake Daur. 10 Born America
James Fredk Speake Son 5 Born Brades Village
Lily May Speake Daur. 2 Born Brades Village
John Rowley Bro in Law Widr. 43 Labourer in Brickworks Born Cakemore
Harriett Rowley Daur. 9 Born America
Amphss Rowley Daur. 7 Born America
James Rowley Son 5 Born America
Dont undestand this though
New York Passenger Lists, 1820-1957 1890 May 26 Alaska
Sarah Rowley 53 Matron England
James Speake 30 Bricklayer England
Harriet Speake 30 wife England
Amphlias Rowley 16 Spinster England
Harriet Rowley 18 Spinster England
Albut Rowley 11 England
Albut Rowley 8 Infant England
Looks like sending for the marriage of James and Hannha Mills
