Re: Who were those people? What was their story?
Think I better split this into 3 posts for the info on these 3 families or it will be confusing
So this one will run Phillis on.
Phillis Chandler b abt 1895 Parents Benjamin and Mary
here they are in
1901
36
Bumble hole
Benjamin Challenor 49 - something? in coal mine
Mary A Challenor 43
Thomas Burgans 24 - Blast furnace labourer - stepson
Mary A Pritchard 22 - daug married
Elizabeth Burgess 13 - step daug
Annie Burgess 9 - step daug
Philis Challener 5
John T Pritchard 1 - grandson
this looks like the marriage
1894
CHANDLER Benjamin BURGESS Mary H Dudley, St Thomas Dudley Register Office 204/041/9
So can we find their prev marriages and on census for Benjamin and his wife Mary
Is this Benjamin in 1861?
1861 Dudley St andrew ( that is Netherton)
Joseph Chandler 39 coalminer b Netherton
Mary Chandler 38 wife b Bumble Hole

So this one will run Phillis on.
