I think I got that 1901 census a bit wrong.

I think this is it.
1901.
James Parkes. 54. 1847. Turner Tube Works.
Mary Parkes. 52. 1849. Iron Nail Maker.
Alice Parkes. 18. 1883. Bolt Machine Operator.
George Parkes. 17. 1884. Coal & Stone Carter Man.
Harry Parkes. 15. 1886. Labourer Nut & Bolt Works.

There are 2 James Parkes with wife Mary in Rowley regis in 1891 and 1901.

Rite I am lost on this one... anyone fathom it out
got 3 more look ups and me ead has gone..

so can anyone give me the gist of this in easy terms
which is the correct one
or are we not sure

This looks right for 1891.
1891.
James Parkes. abt 1847.
Mary Parkes. abt 1848.
James Parkes.abt 1874.
Eliza Parkes. abt 1876.
William Parkes. abt 1877.
George Parkes. abt 1884.
Henry Parkes. abt 1886.

And this looks right for 1901, from the other 1901 census.

1901. 13 Powke lane Blackheath RR
James Parkes. 54. 1847. Turner Tube Works.
Mary Parkes. 52. 1849. Iron Nail Maker.
Alice Parkes. 18. 1883. Bolt Machine Operator. ???
George Parkes. 17. 1884. Coal & Stone Carter Man.
Harry Parkes. 15. 1886. Labourer Nut & Bolt Works.
This could be Henry in 1891.

but George is a Plasterer on marrige and James who is deceased by then is a nailer

wonder if this family are on the 1911 cos that would include or exclude wouldnt it

I have found this but a different occupation for James and the children are not the same.

So this might be ours...but the occupations no plasterer or nailer

I can look it up if we can find this family

I think it is this one

On the 1901 one house removed is a Robert Rollason he is here on bcc

http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... =871481780

now he has a brother called John who marries a Mary Parkes

http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... =664172128

bit of a gap robert is b 1874 and John b 1857

so what if Mary Parkes b abt 1861 and
James Parkes b abt 1847 are sibs

apparently John Rollason and Mary Parkes are next door on the 1881 census

can we find this James and Mary together in beet st RRegis 1881
or earlier as James should be married by 1870ish
so 1861 or 1871

not sure on the James parkes marriage to a Mary...
but...
