Cannot edit at moment but started to research Mary Eva Parsons born 1882 Cradley who married an Issachar Willetts born
1880 ( nb. I have name spelt different on bcc but cannot edit).
Willetts researchers may be interested in following up Issachar because when I briefly researched I found his parents Benjamin born 1853 Halesowen and Elizabeth born 1853 Halesowen and children Issachar b.1880 Benjamin born 1878 RR
George b.1874 RR Thomas or John T b. 1876 RR Emma Jane b 1888 and James b 1894
Places of birth change on different census records but it is possible to trace. I have some records of Isaachar,s descendants up to present
What is interesting is that on 1901 Census Benjamin and Elizabeth are in Jail and two youngest children are in the workhouse . Older children including Isaachar are boarders elsewhere.
What did Benjamin and Elizabeth do to end up in Jail at same time

could try the following sites, don't know how useful they will be, maybe an archive search..

Birmingham Daily Post
or
Birmingham Police Court records

there is this site - you have to register etc

Could have just been Debtors Mumbles, no records would have been kept.

Maybe try the local archives for where they were living and check the is it quarter sessions for that year.
Maybe the archives have the prison records?
if halesowen maybe Dudley maybe Worcs

Flagging this to see if it can be archived?

So unless otherwise advised this will be moved to archived section within 24 hrs
