How about this for a coincidence?

Jenni has just posted some links under 'Burials - Kingswinford / Black Country area'

Browsing through the Headstones, this is what I've found.......

William Henry Homer Husband of Amelia Homer who died Sep 27th 1914 aged 84 years (so born 1830)
also
of David grandson of the above and son of Amos and Amy Lowe
Who died Sep 29 1914 aged 9 years
Also of the above Amelia Homer who died Feb 13 1922 aged 81 years (so born 1841)

That's a great find San. I have that family in my tree:-

Wm Homer Married Nancy Bloomer 11.10.1830 Old Swinford. Nancy born about 1805 Halesowen
Henry Wm 1831 Married Amelia Parish daughter of John Parish and Elizabeth Willetts on 3.3.1828 St Thomas Dudley.
Will check to see if I have added this information or not?

Many thanks from Linell.
