hi linell how sure are you about that mary burton marring the william son of richard and sarah as they have a son george c1820 and they didnt marry until 1824 ?

Hi Pete, George's Baptism 13.12.1821, says George Son of William and Mary Willetts Nailer Hayley Green. George is at home on the 1841 Census, also 1851 where he is listed as son. Perhaps the Marriage to Mary Burton 1824 is wrong? Will have a look for another Marriage about 1820. Best Wishes Linell.

Hi Pete, the Marriage in 1824 is the only one that fits with the ages of Wm and Mary. There is one in 1817 Old Swinford to a Maria Meredith, don't think it is that one, as they would only have been maybe 15 at the Wedding, will put the Marriage on the Look Ups see what that says. Linell.

Can we find a baptism for sarah and Benjamin.

the only thing concerns me is that it could be the other william ?

wonder if we could find a birth / christening for mary burton would give us something to compare with census

possible for both

here sarah with samuel earlier post

SARAH WILLETTS
Christening: 14 SEP 1828 Halesowen, Worcester, England ( poss married john jackson)

SAMUEL WILLETTS
Christening: 31 MAR 1833 Halesowen, Worcester, England ( poss married fanny jackson)

Hi Pete, both baps for Sarah 1828 and Samuel 1833 say daughter/son of Wm and Mary Willetts Old Hill Nailer. There are definitely two Wm and Mary's one in Hayley Green and one in Old Hill. Loads of Halesowen Baps for Mary/Mary Ann/Maria Burton's around 1800, which makes this Marriage plausable don't you think? Linell

its a very strong poss you got it right but as i said could be the other maybe witnesses will sort it ?

Yeah will wait on the look up, thanks Pete.

Not sure if any of this is on Connections if not can anyone do the honours?

So is this now able to be archived pending a look up?

Unless otherwise advised this will be moved to arch section within 24 hrs
