West Midlands Marriage indexes for the years: 1864.
BILLINGHAM Joseph. WESTWOOD Louisa. Dudley Register Office. Dudley Register Office. DRO/004/130.

1871. Union St, Rowley Regis.
Joseph Billingham 64. Chain manufacturer.
Louisa Billingham 62.
Sarah Stover 17. Servant.

All born Kingswinford.

1881.
Louisa BILLINGHAM. Head. W. 79. Kingswinford, Stafford.
Susannah KANNAR. Sister In Law. W. 78. Dudley, Worcester.

Brettell Lane Amblecote.
Amblecote, Stafford.

Deaths Jun 1882.
BILLINGHAM Louisa. 81. Stourbridge. 6c. 83.

Which would make Louisa Beddard-Skidmore-Westwood-Billingham.
In the 1881 she is with her "sister in law" age 78, she might be Susannah Kenna age 42 in 1851, widow of Thomas Skidmore.
With Thomas having a brother Joseph b 1811 and Benjamin b 1803 (who married Louisa).

(Giving up for now)

So Louisa would be sister in law to this Joseph, who would be Benjamins brother.

started to connect

but got bit confused
http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... =633115502

How does it go then

Louisa marries Benjamin Skidmore ....he dies 1853

She marries Joseph Westwood in 1854.........he dies

She then marries Joseph Billingham in 1864......he dies

she is a widow in 1881 with this Susan

So Benjamin and Joseph Skidmore are brothers

is there a bapt for Benjamin?

Confused on the susan bit

is she not a sister to Joseph and Benjamin?
and who is Ellen ?

:shock:

Ellen's birth is consistent as Dewsbury and I think that post-it is probably a load of rubbish. I think this is the marriage for Joseph

Benjamin marries Louisa

and Susan marries thomas kennar

and Joseph, Benjamin and Susan are all sibs?

but do we have a bapt for Benjamin pls?

and on marriage to Thomas Kennar father for susan is thomas skidmore miner and she puts age 31...did she lie?

gardener · Post by **gardener** » Mon Jul 11, 2011 11:49 am

I can't find a baptism for Benjamin which would give him same parents as Susannah and Joseph.
I suggest you slow down a bit on the adding rather than get it in wrong.

I give up!

It was all so promising, but with Benjamin Skidmore from Kingswinford and Susannah and Joseph baptised at Dudley, it just doesn't quite gel.
The witnesses for the Louisa Beddard/Benjamin Skidmore were Thos Newel and Mary Ann Hill which does not help a bit.

But some of what we have is right.
