The info I placed on ARC TBC..INFO for Black Country Connections on Massey

This all came from Ancestry and family records that I own e.g bmd certificates, newspapers articles and orders of service.

Thanks Caroline
we have added what we can to Bcc without seeing the actual info we don't add what we cant prove ourselves.
And to be honest much as we would love to add what every one adds in forum or contacts about to Bcc we just can't without seeing it
ourselves and then there is the time factor only a few of us are adding info to the tree and we just don't have time soz

If you have something specifi you might like us to look at and add to the tree then post in this forum
We can look at it see if we have time to verify it or better still if you have a particular bit of info send it to us in a pm
then we can look at it and decide whether to add or not.

Thanks

Jan, Joseph Massey and family are in the Cradley Vicar's Notes for 1863:-

High Town Joseph Massey Anvil Maker, Drunk, Non Conformist, Elizabeth attends Ragged School, daughter of 352, (Thomas and Sarah Cox.)
3 Children, Sarah Ann 11 in April, attends New Connexion Sunday School, Maria 7 in May, attends New Connexion Sunday School and the National School, Selina 3 in July, Matilda 1 November Unbaptised.

Also James, think it must be Joseph's brother:-
Fatherless Barn James Massey Farm Labourer Non Conformist, Elizabeth Non Conformist, Daughter Elizabeth born July.

Re-reading this it is the other Joseph Massey also born 1870, shall I add these notes to BCC
