I was thinking what would be interesting would be to see then how we all do connect.....ie what and where is the connection between us members and BCC

so off the top of my head..let me see if I can remember some
It would be great if there was one we all link back to.
We can do yhis as a separate thread

I connect to Gardener via William Rose b1852...that is our connection
I connect to sp1 via Shakespeare's but can't remember his connection..mine is Ann Shakespeare b 1790 ish
I connect to Dennis via the Inetts
I know Rob and Lulu connect via the brothers who built club house can't remember name was it wood house
And Kate and I link to ann wood house who we think is from there too

Nice idea Jan

Looks as though I'm "Billy No Mates" apart from Lavy and Gwen with my Belcher line, but I'm not sure if they are members on the forum anymore.

I believe I connect to DianeL,Richtea blackcountrybiker,,through the Garratt line.
and Oscar & Queeny through the Weston line.
Samuel Weston married Martha Garratt in 1897 (My grandparents).

It's the Ruston brothers that Lulu ( and me!!) connect to that link to the Club buildings.

Aunty Em & I connect through Artess/Weaver families

My 3xgrandmother was Hannah Woodhouse and i'm connected to Lulu aka MotherHen aka via the Rustons and Club Buildings.
And i'm connected by marriage to Mally via William Henry Young my ggrandfather and Alice Evans. Anyone else ?

note by Jan....."and you connect via Joseph Kite b 1817 to Lulu...your line is dau Eliza Kite and Lulu's is Elizas brother William Kite"

How could I have forgotten that I connect to Aunty Em as well through Benjamin Weaver and Rosannah Pargeter.

Dear All,
My maternal grandfather and grandmother are Joseph Stokes (1896) and Ada Hiscocks (1899); about as black country as you can get, being born in Rowley Regis and Halesowen (Gorsty Hill) respectively. They emmigrated to Australia in 1920, three months before my mother, their eldest child, was born. The family has been in the Black country for centuries, with family names: Stokes, Read, Perry, Westwood, Parsons, Parkes, Hodgetts, Hiscocks, Moy, Andrews, Cutler, Tinsley, Allen, Adams, to my 6th generation back from myself. So, if you have any of those family lines in your Black Country ancestry, I'd love to hear from you.

It may help you if you add your names to the surname section here...
viewforum.php?f=15

Also check on the BCC tree see if they are there and connect to anyone on the forum?
https://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/

You do not have to be a member of the tree, it is free to view all people.

As far as I know I don't link to anyone. I did see Adams mentioned - my Great Grandmother had a step sister who married an Adams so maybe

My main surname connections are Taylor, Manger, Round, Smith, Billingham and Preece all based Black Country/Rowley and Stoke Prior.

Hi there. This is my first post, so please forgive me if I get something wrong. I think I am connected to twiglet and Linell, through my Gill/Hampton/Stringer lines. May also be connected to Jan through Hampton's. My grandfather was Arthur Gill (1888-1951)

Hi is it this one

https://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/t ... ver=521329

if not which one is it on Bcc.

If you go to the black country discussion section we could have a look at what we have on your grandfather
and what you have to maybe add to the ancestor.
I don't connect to hamptons so might just have added some for the purpose of research.
Twiglet and Linell can be reached via a pm (private message) on this forum.
welcome

Looks like I connect to two or three of you, possibly more...?
