Mary Longmore's death cert has arrived today. Info states:

Mary Longmore aged 54 died 16th September 1847 at Moor Lane, Kingswinford. Wife of Thomas Longmore, Forgeman. Died of Enteritis, 7 days. Son William Longmore of Brockmoor registered her death.

That is good (well, not for Mary as it must have been quite unpleasant) and I think that the son William is the one posted earlier - the 1851 census says Kingswinford for Parish and Brockmoor for Village.

Yes I think the William quoted is likely to be the right William who was a son of Thomas & Mary. The place of marriage also fits as his brother married at the same church.

I wondered, are the Holy Trinity, Wordsley baptisms & marriages transcribed anywhere or on a disk that can be purchased? If my Longmore family members who were in Brockmoor at the time are using this church, then I wondered if maybe my Raybould's in Brockmoor at the same time were using this church for baptisms.

Some transcription cds on this site http://www.bmsgh-shop.org.uk/

Just going thru this and adding what I can


did we not find Thomas Longmore the father on 1851 at all or a death for him?

or a burial?

or did he die betw 1841-1851

Hi NL,

We haven't found what became of Thomas Longmore the father yet. We know now he was alive in 1847 when his wife Mary died. I believe he probably is still alive in 1851. Its also likely that he moved from Brierley Hill as I can't find any burial there for him. Where he is though, I have no idea

courtesy of RF added some marriages for Wm Longmore ...father not deceased on his mar in 1854

so prob still alive then

will add more info at weekend to Bcc

then if we havent found Thomas will move to Brickwalls.

no likely death betw 1854 and 1861?

Just looked at both of William's marriages on BCC and they both will be correct for him as the witnesses to both marriages are his siblings and their spouses

There is a marriage on FreeReg (and FMP) of a Thomas Longmore to Ellen Betley. It took place at St Peter, Wolverhampton on the 13th June 1848. It seems maybe a little too far away from where he was living but this Thomas was a Widower and the date is not too long after Mary Longmore died. Unfortunately it just says full age rather than the actual age. Witnesses are just resident witnesses so no help. It says he is of Bloomsbury Street (same as Ellen who was also a widow and her maiden name is Stokes). Father named as Thomas Longmore, Dead. Thomas' occupation is a Miner which maybe a little too different from being a furnaceman. I just thought I would mention this marriage in case it is relevant.

was there a death for Thomas Longmore anywhere in area he was living in 1841?

Is this still a Brickwall, or have you solved it?
