Thanks graingers14

I will post the marriage of Felix to Sarah Grainger as I think family is already on and her father is William Grainger

Marriage looked up by FarSide
St. John Halesowen 21 Mar 1859
Felix Hotchkiss, 20, bachelor, Anchorsmith, Boro, Father Thomas Hotchkiss, Victualler
Sarah Granger, 20, spinster, Boro, Father William Granger, Fruiterer
Wit - William White & Mary Hall

This Confirms What I thought and I have connected on bcc

Cannot find how Sarah became Sarah Brookes but may have married in USA before returning to Dudley

is this ok to archive?
