Thanks ...I will put marriage for look up

there is in 1881 a John Billingham living with Bucknalls
born about 1800
wondered if Joseph Billinghams father

trying to connect Joseph b abt 1838 to Billinghams on Bcc

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

This may be of some help

I thought so too... but then it wasn't! I'll give it another go.

Marriage info RF

So this looks good to add for Josephs marriage to an Ellen


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

will add that asap to Bcc and add in Ellen

That Cradley marriage is worth a look up Thanks CS

So we have
an
Ellen Billingham
John Billingham
and our Joseph....must connect somehow to Bcc ones

Easy enough to say!

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).

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

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.
