UPDATE look up done for PETER!-ONIONS,BROWN, TIFT and WALKER

[NBarta]

Hello everyone,
I am a 74 year old woman living in Michigan USA. I was born near and raised in Upper Landywood which is between Walsall and Cannock. My mother's family is from Walsall and I am looking for information on them. My grandmother was Fanny Elizabeth ONIONS, nee BROWN. She married Thomas ONIONS somewhere between 1885 and 1895. I am interested in finding my grandfather's family and also my grandmother's. She was Fanny Elizabeth BROWN and her parents were Rosannah TIFT and William BROWN. William may have been from Shropshire but was living in Walsall. Rosannah was from Walsall. She has a sister who married a man named WALKER. They owned a pub called The Chainmaker's Arms. I believe the Onions family was living in either Blue Lane or Green Lane in Walsall. My grandparents eventually lived in Croft St, close to the school and my grandfather rang the bell at St. Peter's church on Stafford St. I was told that my grandfather may have come from the Pleck but I am not sure of this. If anyone has any knowledge of any of these people, I would appreciate hearing what they know. Norma Barta.
