Whilst inserting details about Ezra Appleby Parsons I found a possible connection with Hannah Stringer born 1823 Rowley Regis. ( inserted by Holly)
I have an Hannah Stringer born 1824 Rowley Regis who married a William Croft born Bromsgrove 1822 in St. Thomas Dudley in 1844 .
Their daughter Mary Ann Croft born 1847 Cradley married a William Westwood born 1845 Cradley Heath in St. Thomas Dudley in 1865.
Their Daughter Elizabeth Westwood married Ezra Appleby Parsons in 1897

Could look up marriage and see if father is a William Stringer
