Thank you everyone for helping to look...
Interesting find Gardener, I will have to look more. Seems a good possible for first names and ages. Just Johns wife was Phebe? And there are possible matches for dates of births to date of deaths
Just going round in circles with this.
Jo

There isn't really any proof that the John Boilstone in the 1871 is the same one as on BCC is there?
We only have the three kids on BCC and they are all married by then aren't they?
So how do you know that is him?

I dont Gardener! I was going by the possible deaths and ages of John and Phebe...

Deaths Sep 1866
Boilstone Phebe 73 Dudley 6c 2

Deaths Jun 1878
BOILSTONE John 83 Dudley 6c 3

I am sure that these are the same family.

In 1861 their neighbours are

Joseph Barley 39
Susanna Barley 39
Jane Barley 15
Rebecca Barley 8
Sarah Barley 3
Susanna Barley 6/12
and they are still next door in 1871.

So if this John is married to Hannah in 1861 it can't be the one that you want for BCC.

Given this odd Boilstone/Bullas(s) thing, and the difficulty finding John and Phebe then I suspect that they too used an odd way to spell their names! The deaths look good though. Any chance that there would be an address on the burial record?

It does look like the same family Gardener.
Deaths certs of them both I suppose would help...
I will add that family on BCC, I dont think they are on.
But it is odd that Boilstone and Bullas is mixed up?
Jo

It is very odd. I wish it was possible to search with two wildcards in the same surname. I've tried every which way to find John and Phebe

I have for days!

Hi
You don't know where John and Phebe are on the census do you?

Should we add Sarah's marriage and stuff?
This must be her in 1851
Waterfall Lane (next door to her brother William)
Thomas Powell 35
Sarah Powell 31
Pheabe Powell 6
Thomas Powell 10 Mo
