Marriage and Baptism records in Staffordshire

Post by Robyn »

I'm looking for the marriage of Joseph Williams and Sophia possibly Staffordshire. All I have to go on is the baptism of their daughter Carolina Williams bp. 8th January 1815 Bloxwich, Staffs. I don't know if there were any other children. Can someone cast their eye over this one please? Thanking you. Robyn.

Hi Jimmy,
Is that actually Joshua and not Joseph Williams for the birth of Caroline? Can you give me please the last name of Sophia who married Joshua? Would they be two different couples?
Thank you,
Robyn

Hi it is def Joseph but because it has been shortened to Jos h on record has been transcribes as Josh
The other children are transcribed the same- Ann 14 Aug 1796, Elizabeth 20 Aug 1798, Mary 3 Nov 1807, Joseph (Josh) 11 Apr 1803, Job 19 Aug 1811, These are all One liners showing Jos H & Sophia as parents at All Saints Bloxwich
