I have added best I can I think...
I haven't found Benjamin with his father Thomas although sp1 says it may be
Looks like he is the one bapt 1827 Brierley Hill, s of Thomas & Mary Ann

But I will leave it here for now and see what we come up with the others...
Other connections I have added and we need to sort something out for the Burley family...

I knew there was something about this family - they moved to West Bromwich, but kept going back to Brierley Hill for baptisms & burials: will post these soon as I can, but I think we may need to look for some of them in West Bromwich in 1841!

From the Brierley Hill Parish Registers:

Baptisms:
13 Nov 1825, Ann, d.of Thomas & Mary Anne Shakespeare, Delph, Miner
1 July 1827, Benjamin, s.of Thomas & Mary Ann Shakespeare, Brierley Hill, Collier
12 Apr 1829, Thomas, s.of Thomas & Mary Ann Shakespeare, West Bromwich, Collier

Burials:
12 Jan 1826, Anne Shakespeare, inft, The Delph, d.of Thomas & Mary Ann

7 June 1848, Jane Shakespeare, 77, Golds Green, West Bromwich

Not sure who the last two are, and cant find any of them in 1841

There is a submitted marriage on the IGI for Thomas Shakespeare & Mary Ann Perry, either 31 July 1825 or 25 Sept 1825, Kingswinford
