The Sarah Ann Cutler marriage is wrong it was John Brookes to Sarah Ann Cutler in 1876 West Bromwich.
Sarah Brookes died aged 34 in 1892 and Thomas married Florence Westwood
The Sarah Worton marriage looks a better bet
I will add Census details later

Marriages Dec 1876.
Brookes John. W. Bromwich. 6b. 1207.
CUTLER Sarah Ann. West Bromwich. 6b 1207.
GREEN Hannah. W. Bromwich. 6b. 1207.
HOLLOWAY Joseph. W Bromwich. 6b. 1207.

West Midlands Marriage indexes for the years: 1876.
CUTLER Sarah A, HOLLOWAY Joseph. West Bromwich, All Saints. Sandwell Register Office. 22/14/377.

Ok so it is the Sarah Worton one agreed

I have added the marriages but mumbles if you could add the other bits
that would really help
then we can archive this

think there were the kids for Charles and Elizabeth to go on
and other bits

Have added Thomas Brookes born 1857 Census details and will add rest tomorrow

do you know who that John is mumbles

cos I dont think that is JOhn on the 1861 that Jimmy found
none of those kids are on the 1871

and have you tried looking for the births of those kids on the 1871
I couldn't find them

and why that middle letter C or O for them

I dont know who that one is in 1861 but not same one I dont think as the JOhn that marries elizabeth lowe

Nl,
I do not have those Brookes on my records so will need to chase.
Also that Sarah Whorton or Worton with father a nailer

Something wrong here as does not tie up with Wedding details which lists father of Phoebe Priest as David Priest but this shows Unknown Unknown and mother as Ann Priest father David Priest ?

Found Edward Hopewell born Dudley 1865
William Hopewell born 1860 Dudley

Phoebe C Brookes on 1871 Census was born Bedworth Warwickshire not Bridgenorth.

Found Charles Hopewell died 1860 Dudley

also 1851 Census Tipity Green Rowley Regis Dudley Staffs.
Thomas Hopewell Head 30 Stone Cutter born Mount Sorrell Leics.
Mary Hopewell wife 30 Nailer
Ann Hopewell dau 7
Sarah Hopewell dau 4
George Hopewell son 1
Charles Hopewell inmate 24 Stone Cutter born Mount Sorrell Leics.

Thomas is probably brother of Charles as he calls his son Septimus born 1860

HOPEWELL Thomas TROMAN Mary Rowley Regis, St Giles Sandwell Register Office 18/1/112 1843

I am bit lost on this now....do you want me to do anything on it?

do you want me to connect?

if so I have to read thru the thread again
cos lost the plot

Leave it to me Nl
Other than the father of Phoebe Priest being Unknown Unknown when on marriage record is David Priest .
Peterd has added but I think it is wrong the way it is added.
I will add all the Hopewell details found.

Just having a quick look

will amend that david priest info when got up to speed

but this mary brookes John is a wid
and Elizabeth has a mary already

I dont think that is her kid

I have amended Edward to Hopewell found birth record
