This George:

and this William:
http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/fa ... ood-Family

were brothers. George, it seems, really was born in Ledbury, as on later census. He was bapt same day as William (17 May 1812) at Ledbury - his baptism gives date of birth 27 Feb 1810.

I think it likely that their parents were the George and Sarah with son Joseph here:

It seems there were other children (from IGI - all ODM):

A twin to George, Sarah, born 27 Feb 1810, bapt 27 Feb 1810, Ledbury

Ann, bapt 30 June 1814, Cradley
Joseph, bapt 24 Mar 1816, Cradley (already on BCC)

It looks like there were some earlier ones - there is a gap, so perhaps parents were in Ledbury or elsewhere in the intervening period?

Elizabeth, bapt 14 Aug 1791, Halesowen
Nancy, born Apr 1794, bapt 18 Jan 1802, Cradley
James, bapt 14 July 1799, Cradley - this James probably also on BCC:

Northern Lass wrote:So we are saying that poss early ones Cradley

then back with Joseph in 1816

It looks like they had Elizabeth, Nancy and James in Cradley (the 6 year gap between Nancy and James possibly explained by a stillbirth or miscarriage) then disappear somewhere, turn up in Ledbury where 3 children born, then return to Cradley to have 2 more children.
Did George or Sarah make it to 1841 census?
There is a possible bapt for George 1762 in Halesowen, s of William & Elizabeth (There are other children for this couple).
One other bapt in Halesowen for a George (father Mathias - they are on BCC, and that George didn't marry) but too late for the marriage to Sarah Burley.

Possible bapt for Sarah Burley (the only one!):
30 Apr 1769, Halesowen, Sarah d of Richard & Ann Burley

What you have added looks fine Jan, but think you need to amend year of birth for George Senior (he wouldn't have been nine when James was born!) - still think he is the one born 1762, and m Sarah Burley: does Linell have anything more?

Yes I too think George Married Sarah Burley in Halesowen 1790, could not prove it though. I do have a picture of James Attwood as a very old man. Jan this connects to Nigel Brown he may have more detail. Linell

Have amended the birth and added in marriage thanks guys

Ok to archive?
