This is a carry on from the Whorton thread, bit of a mystery here that needs looking at.

Solomon Priest's wife Elizabeth Whorton died before 1891.
1891 High Town Cradley
Solomon HD Widow 48
Alice DA 17
Solomon Son 15
Ellen DA 12
Thomas Son 6

1901 Anvil Yard Cradley
Solomon HD 56
Hannah (New Wife) 47
Thomas Priest Son 17
Emma Slater Step DA 14
All born Cradley

Then 1891 The Innage Cradley
Elijah Slater HD 37 Night Watchman born Rock Worcs
Maria Wife 31 Cradley
Joseph Son 6 Cradley
Emma DA 4 born Aldershot Essex (I thought Aldershot was in Hampshire?)
Amy DA 2 born Bermuda West Indies British Subject (so Elijah must have been in the Army?)

Anvil Yard Cradley
Joseph Parsons HD 58
Hannah Wife 56
James Son 19
Tidal Son 6
Olivia Slater DA Wid 37 (looks like Olivia is Hannah Priest, same age??)
Harry Slater Grandson 14
Wm Slater Grandson 12
Alfred Slater Grandson 10
Emma Slater Granddaughter 4
All born Cradley.

So are there 2 Emma Slater's the same age? Is Hannah Priest in 1901 the same lady as Olivia Slater Wid in 1891?

Linell.

Found this link:- http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... =577170558

So Olivia is Olivia Hannah and she Married Solomon Priest, found on Free BMD 1896.

Linell.

So did she mary Allen Slater is his brother Elijah?
Do we have we a marriage?
for allen slater and this Parsons?

and have we a marriage for Solomon Priest and this Hannah Olivia Slater
or whatever she is called and we can connect up then can we?

Hi NL, Mumbles has Allen Slater Married to Olivia Hannah Parsons, so that must be correct. Not checked to see if Elijah and Allen Slater were brothers?

The Marriage for Solomon Priest and Olivia Hannah is only on Free BMD, so do not know the Church. However daughter Emma Slater is with Solomon and Hannah in 1901, so would think it has to be correct

Linell.

Allen and Elijah Slater were both born Rock Worcs., so they must be brothers, need to find them on an early Census.

Allen was transcribed as Ellen on the Transcript, the Image definitely says Allen Son. Children all born Rock. Probably a 2nd Marriage?

Linell.

So that is fine a good call Lin

If someone can add the relevant kids and census that would be great

Ok added those kids running with a new thread re the Slaters and Parsons

So this I think is now Completed
