Re: Billinghams
I noticed that the witnesses to the Billingham marriage was Albert and Ellen Bradley.
I always check out witnesses to see if they are brothers and sisters of the groom and bride
My conclusion is that Ellen is a Billingham:-
West Midlands Marriage indexes for the years: 1894
Surname Forename(s) Surname Forename(s) Church / Register Office Registers At Reference
BRADLEY Albert BILLINGHAM Ellen Cradley, St Peter Dudley Register Office 013/002/147
This may be of some help

Easy enough to say!
1891
Joseph Bucknell 23
Clara Bucknell 25
James Bucknell 2
Amy Bucknell 7/12
Joseph Billingham widr 49 [son in law]
Mary A Ditto 13
Source Citation: Class: RG12; Piece: 2310; Folio: 108; Page: 45; GSU Roll: 6097420.
This is "our" Joseph Billingham, with daughter Mary Ann before she marries William Bucknall
Joseph is down as son in law which is clearly not quite right. Previous household is this one
1891
Caleb Pearson 57
Elizabeth Pearson 53
Caleb Pearson 22
Lilly Pearson 17
Sarah Pearson 15
Esau Pearson 12
and that fits with
Marriages Mar 1888
BUBB Maria Stourbridge 6c 185
BUCKNALL Joseph Stourbridge 6c 185
Pearson Clara Stourbridge 6c 185
POOLE Henry Stourbridge 6c 185
The Pearsons are on BCC here http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/fa ... son-Family
Note that Caleb Pearson is married to Elizabeth Jones bbt 1838, father John Jones and we already had
22nd March 1863 Christ church Quarry Bank
Joseph Billingham 22 bach chainmaker Quarry Bank James Billingham chainmaker
Ellen Jones 21 spinster nail maker Quarry Bank John Jones Brewer
Banns
X Both
wit X Benjamin Cartwright X Sarah Cartwright
so it could be that Elizabeth (Jones) Pearson and Ellen (Jones) Billingham were sisters, making Caleb Pearson and Joseph Billingham brothers in law (hence the odd son in law on 1891, i.e. it refers back to previous household).
1851 Census, Kingswinford, Staff. (Off BCC)
John Jones Head M M 50 Wood Collier Bewdley, Worc.

and finally, here is Ellen (Billingham) Bradley in 1901, with her sister Annie. As pointed out by CS, Albert and Ellen witnessed Mary Ann's marriage

---------------------
Should perhaps look-up that Albert Bradley marriage to make sure of Ellen's father?

Re: Billinghams
As for Joseph, can people look at this please? His age varies a bit but probably no more than others. He is always a chain maker and born either Quarry Bank or Kingswinford. James and Pen's kids tend to put Quarry Bank as their birth place. Sorry about the mishmash of names, just straight copy and pasted.
