I would like to add further descendants of miner John Rollinson & Elizabeth Smith to BCC. http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/family-tree/bcconnections/124144/46250/John-Rollinson-Family

Oldest son William chr 1815, I know was still around in 1842 as he was witness to sister Ann's wedding.

I think he married Catherine Lewis 7 Jun 1835 at St Thomas, Dudley. No parents recorded on familysearch.

I have them at King St Willenhall in 1841, 1851 and at Willenhall Rd 1861 1871 1881.

No proof though, other than that his age ties in with 1815 baptism. (And I think his brother Samuel is also in King st in 1851)

But there is also a marriage of a William Rolinson to Susannah Campbell in 1837 also St Thomas though I can't see any trace of them.

Any ideas?

what date is the st thomas in 1837

I'd written down 4th quarter 1837 Dudley 18 366 William Rolinson & Susannah Campbell
St Thomas Dudley
Can't find it on familysearch now, but it is on freebmd

Thanks

Thanks Jimmy.
With no father's name not much further forward.

Can you see a father for the marriage of William Rollason to Catherine Lewis 7 Jun 1835 at St Thomas, Dudley? Now I can't see that record either. Think I am losing the plot!

that could be looked up to see if the wits help
on both of them

the 1837 and
the 1835

Kay do you want to add those marriages for a look up?
see if wits help?

or are you done with this one?

A look up would be good, please. Kay

Should I add the family in the censuses without linking to John Rollinson and Elizabeth Smith? here they are on my tree
http://mcmeekinfamily.tribalpages.com/t ... id=103&g=0

Add the marriages to look ups that you want

and add to bcc what you feel is good info so yes add on Wms info and wife if you think
it is good

oh and Happy birthday

Thanks for birthday wishes!

Have added look ups so this is complete.

Pretty sure the Catherine Lewis one is right as they also had a daughter Miranda, a name that features in the family!
