I have been researching a Basford Notts. family for a cousin and found possible connection to Dudley
Marriage St. Thomas Dudley 10/9/1843
James Tennant Bach. Miner Holly Hall father Elijah Tennant Engine Man
Mary Beddard sp. Holly Hall father Samuel Beddard Nailer
Witnesses :- Joseph and Mary Beddard

Marriage St. Thomas Dudley 23/9/1859
Samuel Clark bach. father John Clark Labourer deceased
Mary Tennant wid. father Samuel Beddam Nailer
witnesses :- William and Sarah Dabbs.

I think freereg record is wrong and Beddam should be Beddard

I think this Samuel Clark is noted as Professional Cricketer in Census and his brother George was also a professional cricketer if it same family from Notts.

Can anyone find info on professional cricketers in 1880 -1911 possibly Warwickshire

1851 Census Wordsley Green Kingswinford Stourbridge Staffs.
James Tennant Head 29 Coal Miner born Sedgley Staffs.
Mary Tennant wife 28
Emma Tennant dau 5 Scholar
Rest born Kingswinford Staffs.

Next Door :-
William Babbs Head 24 Coal Miner
Sarah Babbs wife 26
All born Kingswinford Staffs.
Witnesses at Wedding of James Tennant and Mary Beddard

Also next door :-
Samuel Beddard Head 59 (wid) Nailer
William Beddard son 23 Nailer
Richard Beddard son 21 Nailer
Ann Beddard dau 18
All born Kingswinford Staffs.

Is this may be too early for Samuel?
