Nl,
Whilst inserting Harry Parsons and making connection to Ruth Stokes and Alice Parish I noticed that Harry and Alice were already on Bcc so have made these connections also.

Further noticed a new twist to info about George Parish inserted by Linell and yourself as it appears that Lydia Parish ( wife of George who disappeared to USA) married ? again to a George Elwell
1891 Census Shelton Lane Hawne Halesowen Worcs.
George Elwell Head 53 Chain Striker born Workington Cumberland
Lydia Elwell wife 50 born Cradley Worcs.
Alice Parish Step Dau. 19 born Cradley Worcs.
George T. Elwell son 15 born Cradley Worcs.
Further noticed when tracking George Elwell back that he had a sister Martha who did not marry but had a daughter Ann or Annie who is also I believe on bcc

As Jan notes Martha is noted on wedding details as a single woman which ties up with Census details as follows:-
1851 Census High Town Cradley Halesowen Stourbridge Worcs.
William Elwell Head 47 Chain Maker
Ann Elwell wife 46
Sarah Ann Elwell dau 21
George Elwell son 14 Striler for Chain Maker born Workington Cumbria
Maria Elwell dau 12 Scholar
Daniel Elwell son 10
Martha Elwell dau 6
Phoebe Elwell dau 2

Nl, All inserted and amended as necessary

Nl,
Slight problem as Linell has this Caroline as Parish but is Bennett on Census meaning Lydia possibly had her before marriage to George Parish. Could have been adopted later ?

Caroline Bennett dau 18 Chain Maker
Joseph Parrish son 14 Lab. (Chain)

mumbles can you add this census pls too?

Hi NL and Mumbles, Caroline Parish/Bennett 1863 was born before Geoge Parish Married Lydia Bennett in 1865, don't know who the father is? Lydia's second Marriage to George Ellwell 1875 could be bigamous, as George Parish cleared off to the USA where he Married again, I can't imagine there was any legal divorce Many thanks from Linell.

Have disconnected from George until we see what father is on marriage ...not that that means much
so shall we archive pending look ups?
