Here is one for Willetts researchers to follow.
It is nothing to do with my Parsons line but when photocopying a Marriage cert. for Margaret Parsons and Richard Round I copied next entry which shows:
22/10/1860 Thomas Hackett Full age Bach. Chain Maker Dudley Father William Hackett Nailer
Matilda Willetts Full age Spinster Dudley father Thomas Williams Nailer
The Parish Church Dudley Worcs.
Witnesses :- John Clarke , Jane ? Smith
It is unusual as father is shown as Williams and daughter is Willetts and a spinster

Hi Mumbles we looked this one up before, sure it was a spelling mistake and Thomas was Willetts not Williams, this is all in the archives somewhere

Best Wishes Linell.

I have added the marriage doc and father to BCC
so that is more info
wonder if that William Hackett is on already
I have estimated this one abt 1815

hmmm no clues really there are there?
So what we doing with this one?
flagging to archive
going to add that marriage want to look if it says John or Jane on originals if no use under the magnfier
I think that is the family with that John Smith but with the name Hackett have to be so sure
So archived pending look up

Ok done the look up to clarify that signature
it is an Ann Smith
it says the mark of ann Smith
so not sure where that gets us

William Hackett- 19- bach-chainmaker- Old Hill- Thomas Hackett-
deceased- chainmakerEliza Round- 20- spinster- Old Hill - deceased( no father was on)
banns
X both
Wit- X Nancy Stevens/ X Ellen Danks
so anybody any idea who this william is with father thomas (cousin of thomas in census had a father william and his brother was thomas father of lodger thomas. it seem to be the only logic answer unless he was a striaght lodger no relation ?)
