Hi Peter, snap, also received a message from a distant relation in Perth, Alfred Priest and Eliza Willetts, who are her Grandparents, she gave me this information:-

Alfred Priest Married a Mary?
They had 2 daughters

Alfred then Married Eliza Willetts, their son was Albert Priest who Married Lily Willetts.
Daughter of Albert Priest and Lily Willetts Constance Olive b 13.12.1909 Married Samuel Wm Smith b Cradley Heath 24.7.1904 Marriage 21.11.1931 St Michaels Langley.

I then have their children but think they are still living.

Albert's Maternal Grandparents were William Willetts and Hannah (maybe Bissell.)

My contact is also questioning Mary Jane Gadd and Jane Gadd, is she one of the same? Linell.

the mother's name on her father's BC is Eliza Willetts, who was the 2nd wife of Alfred Priest. Mary died leaving him with 2 daughters.

this is a section from an email i had so eliza is the 2nd wife of alfred it is poss elizabeth is not one of his wifes

I think that seems to fit Pete

If I remember rightly some of the tree Albert Priest father and back was taken from a secondary source - genes united - I am now more careful because have been caught out here before. Some of it could be wrong have not done much work on this. As you know I usually double check this one may be wrong

so any one find Alfred and eliza in the 61 and 71 census please, poss at locations below ?

1861

Elbow Street, Rowley
Alfred Priest 28 - Chainmaker

Alfred Priest 36 - Chainmaker
Eliza Priest 31 - b Worcester
Mary Ann Priest 15 - Nailmaker
Ellen Priest 15 - Nailmaker

I think that looks good with Mary first then Eliza
