COMPLETED John Barker, Esther Richards--Snoopy Sue adding
Here's a look up that's giving me a bit of trouble.
14th April 1897
Parish Church, West Bromwich
John Barker, 56, Widower, Labourer, Jervoise Street, Joseph Barker, Labourer
Esther Richards, 60, Widow, Jervoise Street, Timothy Smith (deceased), Miner,
Witnesses: Benjamin Rickers, Charlotte Everitt
I thourght they might link up to this family:
http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... onnections
and when I saw the address I was confident as both Barkers and Jinks (married into the Barker family) lived in Jervoise Street - my Mom, born Jinks grew up in Jervoise Street. The father doesn't match up though.
I haven't been able to find them post marriage, and neither of them were in Jervoise Street on the census previous to the marriage. I have found Esther (I Think) pre marriage:
1891
30, Coppice Street, West Bromwich, Staffordshire
Walter Clifford, Head, Mar, 26, Clerk, Staffs Smethwick
Ann, Wife, Mar, 25, Staffs West Bromwich
Walter, Son, 1, Staffs West Bromwich
Annie, Daur, under 1 month, Staffs West Bromwich
Esther Richards, Servant, Widow, 54, Nurse, Worcs Dudley
