thanks Jo

that Ancestry tree had father as Thomas Willetts
and mother as Rebecca Whitehouse

is there a marriage ?

can we find Thomas with parents?

I have found that family on census

1841. Bell End? Rowley Regis
Thomas Willetts, 40, nailer
Rebecca, 35,
Mary, 15,
nancy, 12,
Eliza, 10,
Hannah, 7,
Thomas, 4,
James, 2
All born County

1851. Bell End, Rowley Regis
Rebecca Willetts, W, 44, Nailer, Halesowen?
Nancy, daur, 22,
Eliza, daur, 19,
Hannah, daur, 17,
William, son, 9,
Joseph, son, 6,
Sarah Ann Windsor, grand daur, 6,
Pricilla, grand daur, 2
All others born Rowley Regis

There are a few Josephs born at that time so unless you go through them all to discount others you cant be certain. That tree also has Josephs wife as Sarah Ann. We have Ann Bedworth Whitall.
No Edward there? So who is he?

Joseph, boarder, 26, Nail Maker,
Sarah, boarder, 19,

Joseph not with wife

could do with Joseph and Ann in 1871 pls

dont think it is that one with Rebecca white
as Joseph is with mother in 1871

and on bapt it says

18 March 1849 Joseph 4 years of Thomas and Rebekah Willetts Bell End nailer

and our Joseph is on census born abt 1849
one above is 1845

I miscounted him yesterday, the christening must have been a late one.

That baptism is the same address as the 1841 and 1851 census.

Ok so we dont think it is the Thomas and Rebecca one with Joseph b 1845

so where is our Joseph b 1849

and who is Edward Willetts the wit?

and is this Josephs sis

That Sarah Willetts and family is living next door on the 1881 census to Joseph.
Check that marriage and see who is father to her?
theres also a Bedworth family near them too?
