Hi,
Re the above BCC link about a Benjamin Hill, I have been working on the assumption that his wife was Phoebe Crampton, the daughter of Henry Crampton and Sarah Harper. The ‘Transcripts of Halesowen Parish Registers’ show the marriage of a Phoebe Crampton to a Benjamin Hill in St John’s Church on 18 August 1816 and also show that the bride and groom were both ‘of this parish’. The record also shows that the witnesses to the marriage were a Benjamin and Anne Parkes.
A FreeReg record shows that Phoebe and Benjamin 's son Samuel married a Sarah Marsh, in St Thomas’ Church, Dudley, on 12 November 1837. The record shows that he was a ‘Spade Moulder. Samuel’s father is confirmed as Benjamin Hill, ‘Nailer’, and Sarah’s father is shown as Thomas Marsh, ‘Nailer’. The witnesses were Eliza Hill (Samuel's sister) and Joseph Beddall (see below).
A BMD record was found which shows the marriage of Samuel's sister, Eliza, to a Joseph Beddall in the March quarter of 1843.
Hope this is helpful
