he marries here
http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... =343852763

and I think he might belong to this family with father Eli here
http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... =808403220

but I am not sure so not connected

can't find a bapt.

On 1851 Eli and Jane are with dau emma and Janes kids

in 1861 I think Eli is in workhouse at stourbridge along with dau emma
and it looks like he is a widr (ditto looks like to me)

so Jane dies but can't see a burial.

so where is Foley Billingham in 1861
and where in 1871 pls
