I think the son.. John Hackett ( born abt.1835) in this household on BCC...

Phew!
Now does that make sense

Realise that you may want to split some of this off... but needed to write it all down so I could make sense of it

"married Sarah Unknown?

John Hackett Jan-Feb-Mar 1864 Stourbridge Worcestershire
Sarah Hackett Jan-Feb-Mar 1864 Stourbridge Worcestershire"

Marriages that took place in Stourbridge Reg District and don't show up on WMBMD - are very likely to have been held in Christ Church, Quinton, Registers held in Birmingham Archives.

Thanks to RF for marriage lookups.
I have added as much as I can to BCC

OK to archive
Thankyou
