dau is a Hannah Downing
can we find them both on the 1841 prior to Hannahs marriage to James Parkes
(that is on another thread the James parkes)

James Parks, head, 34, Nailor
Hannah, wife, 25, Nailor

RIZPAH.

Samuel Downing.
Rispah Bastable.

Hannah Downing baptism
2nd November 1823 Hannah do Samuel and Rispah Downing. Gosty Hill Nailer

Elizabeth Downing do Samuel and Rispah Downing, Gorsty Hill, Nailer
8 August 1819 St Johns Halesowen

John Downing so Samuel and Risbah Downing, Long Lane, Nailer, Said to be born 7 April 1816
29 March 1837

on her marriage she puts waterfall lane
can we find that on the 1841 or 1851 and see if a Samuel Downing is living there?
or this Samuel and dau hannah on 1841

Ive looked 1841 for Samuel and Hannah and cant see them in that district. There is another Downing there, well near by.
Tory Street
Joseph Downing, 30, Nailor
Sarah, 30,
Samuel, 7,
Ann, 5,
Phebe, 3,
Joseph, 1

Couldnt see them in that district 1851 either although Jospeh is there,
Waterfall Lane, Rowley Regis
Joseph Downing, head, 40, Nail Maker,
Sarah, wife, 39, Nailor
Samuel, son, 17, Nailor
Ann, daur, 15, Nailor
Abraham, son, 8,
Sarah, daur, 8,
Jacob, son, 10 months

All born Rowley Regis

I don't know with this one
maybe leave it as we have to be so sure before we add it
and to be honest I think that is somehow the family maybe Joseph is a brother
Hannah should be age 15
dunno on this

Unless anyone wishes to unravel this I will now archive
