Notes

Discovered recently that Sarah and William married in 1836, and were both seen as widowers on the certificate, so not possible that Sarah is the mother of William b 1820.

[linell]

1851. they are in Crock St. indexed as Foy.
William Toy age 60. Jobbing Smith.
Sarah Toy. age 55 or 55.

In my Parish Records the above say Wm was from Halesowen and Sarah was from Dudley.

I would find that Sarah Bibb prev marriage
I can't see it but only had a quick look

On the 1841 go up and down Crock St seeing if any more Toys
other than the ones we know of ie Wm Toy aged 18 and Wm Toy and Sarah

Wm Toy snr and Sarah Bibb were married prev
who to? and where?

I can move this to Brick Walls and we can then leave it to be chipped away at

The IGI has a marriage

Henry Bibb to Sarah Smart 25th Dec 1823 Dudley

It is, alas, member submitted and does not give the church, just Dudley. Judging by the other entries in the batch then it may have been done by someone looking at Smart family.

So, question is: if it is not in the IGI as an extracted entry then which church is more likely?

[Northern Lass]

It is St Thomas Dudley
there are loads like that when I look them up

well done gardener


someone stick that for a look up and I will do it

[Northern Lass]

And how did you find it?
What did you use
I put in Bibb in Lds but you have to put a first name if you put in spouse as Sarah
and on Hugh wallis you need an area

So come on how did you do it

[gardener]

I put in Bibb as surname and then just looked down until I saw a marriage that looked possible as far as date and place went. Good thing it wasn't to a Smith!

I'll add the lookup NL but that list looks terribly long!

[Northern Lass]

I will do that one this week
as I am interested to see any wits on it

and I cleared batch B and with Rockys help we are getting there
