I have put Jotham from wilkes fold 1841 onwards as son of William and Hannah Willets nee Siviter cannot find bapt. but is one Jotham Parsons Willett 1806 Halesowen mother Sarah Willetts is this the same Jothram ????

hi

Halesowen trans. says

Jotham so Jotham Parsons and Sarah Willetts bpt March 9th 1806

So I don't see how it can be the same one unless the parents are down wrong on BCC

And there is an IGI extracted entry for Anthony Willetts bpt Rowley Regis 17 Sept 1786 parents Wm/Hannah Willitts .... which is a different year to this one
http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... =286728801

so I am a bit confused all round.

HI I got my information from igi batch no.s Jotham Parsons Willetts mother Sarah . Recorded under Willetts names . It may have been incorrectly recorded I don't have access to orig. records.



Antony Willetts I'm guessing his age was rounded down to 50,60 in 1841,1851 census. In 1861 recorded as 45yr I think this should be 75ys and 1871 84yr.

I know you had all that before Suki, I just wanted to think it through a bit.

Is it possible that
Jotham so Jotham Parsons and Sarah Willetts bpt March 9th 1806
was the son of Sarah Willetts bpt 1784?

Only I am concerned that there are the two William / Hannah marriages.
How do we know which Hannah was the mother of this bunch?

Have got a death Hannah Willetts age 93yrs 1847 add. Wilkes Fold from tran. St Giles records. Hannah Siviter is the closes to this what do you think, Also William Willetts 85yrsWilkes( street) have taken this as fold. 1845.

PS are we sure there are two Williams or did one marry twice.

can any one check these marriages on fiches or pr disc ? see if witness are the same just incase one william married twice ?

So unless otherwise advised this will be moved to archived within 24 hrs
it can easily be brought back to the running board when more info is forthcoming...via pm to a mod
