Well Northern Lassie it certainly looks like the kids.
They were Ben,Arthur,George,Joyce,Gladys,Brenda and twins Gwen and Thomas.
It's Gladys i'm linked to.I'm half-brother to 3 of her children.
I suppose i'm looking for the parents of both Hannah and Arthur Benjamin.
But... now i have a wedding date i can visit Sandwell Archives and ask for a look up.

ok clever clogs how are you going to go to Sandwell

if you ask someone real nicely they might do one for you


If you need parents as you say it is a look up
or finding them on the census

I'd catch the B87 from Freeth Street and get off right outside Sandwell Archives!1
But thats all changed now.Oldbury isn't like it was in the 60's so i'd have to ask someone very nicely to do a lookup for me!!
Or maybe i can do it via the internet?
Seriously though i'm trying to connect Arthur Benjamin Fletcher to Hannah Figg nee Fletcher.I think they were brother and sister.
Both born 1897 - 1898 Oldbury,West Bromwich,Birmingham area.
