No grangers I dont think they do .They are Thomas Hickman and Louisa Hickman nee Slater ,they married in1862 at St. Edmunds church in Dudley.They are on the 1871 census in Hall Street , Dudley. Pat

Oooohhhh thanks Ann got my mind thinking again here!

Theres Slater as witness to another marriage too! Hang on I'll find it, think they are in a house next door or near in 1841 too!
But I know I was looking at them!
Might be another family mind...
