Did this look up for Benjamin Brettell and Susannah Grainger

I don't feel it is yet confirmed whether he did actually marry Susannah Grainger prior to Nancy Hardman.
However I am not going to waste the information so I am putting them both down on Connections with notes re Benjamin.

There are hundreds of Brettells in Halesowen and I have spent hours trying to sort out all the families with names that I have collected from parish records. Linell has your Charles 1839 got a sister Kitty (Catherine ) bap 1/5/1836 no father m 8/10/1854 at St Thomas Dudley to George Hadley?

[linell]

Hi db yes I have Kitty (no, no father, just Mom Mary) Married to George Hadley 1854 St Thomas, children Charles George 1856, Harriet 1859, Henry 1863, Sarah Ann 1866, William 1868, Alice 1873. All lived in Islington, no shock there Best Wishes from linell.

Hi Everbody,
I have been trawling through my notes and have found two burials I have taken from St Johns Halesowen parish records. If these are Benjamin and Susannah I was wrong saying he was married before he married Nancy Hardiman. What do you think, are there two Benjamins of a similar age?
Microfiche 126/5 Vol 22
no3348 Benjamin Brettell buried 27/3/1847 age 67
no 3228 Susannah Brettell buried 2/5/1847 age 67

[Northern Lass]

He was married though wasnt he cos he was a widower when he married Nancy
just not sure who he married.

Marriage: Benjamin Brettell Nancy Hardiman 23 AUG 1818 St. John`s Church Halesowen, Worcester (Extracted)
Note:- benjamin died before 1846 as deceased on lucy wedding cert. Benjamin was a Widower when he Married Nancy, she had Parents Consent, both of the Parish, Witnesses were Wm and Lucy Hardman (info Linnell)

[linell]

Hi all, from all the evidence, I am certain there were two different Benjamin's. Best Wishes from linell.
