Harry's brother Joseph married Maria Hipkiss -

http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... =305267187

who are these witnesses? - Joseph Mullett and Margaret Mullett
Maria was a minor mariage St Andrews


I do have a copy of the birth cer for Joseph Harry's brother and knew that
my grandmother Mabel Johnson and Maud Johnson who married a Gadd were cousins
my uncle Edward Willetts married his second cousin Ethel Taylor Mauds daughter.

I wonder wether there might me some connection between the Mullett's and Hipkiss's
as Maria was living with Joseph and Hannah (Mullett) Johnson before she got married.
She was married as a Minor but here parents weren't wittnesses
.

Maybe this is Joseph & Margaret Mullet?

This is interesting:

Hannah M Penn Wife 30 Dress Maker b. Worcs., Poike

Possible.

CUTLER Thomas, Stourbridge. 6c. 345.
Mullett Joseph, Stourbridge. 6c. 345.
Mullett Mary A, Stourbridge. 6c. 345.

There's something very confusing going on here:

SAMUEL STEPHEN PARKES

West Midlands Death 1859.

Can we use any of this info on BCC?
can someone just advise if this looks ok to add or is it just a possible?

I think it's just a possible at present.

I think Joseph Mullett is Hannah Mullett's nephew - son of Hannah's brother, Samuel, and his wife, Sarah.
So this would make him Joseph Johnson's cousin.

Noah Parkes, son of Emma Maria Penn/Pritchard(?) - boarding in 1871 with Joseph & Margaret Mullett - eventually marries Sarah Jane, daughter of Samuel and Sarah Mullett, and sister to said Joseph Mullett.

Might be able to get some of this on BCC soon. What do you think, Suki, Jimmy?

While not strickly on topic I can advise the siblings of Maud Mary Johnson, daughter of Harry & Mary Johnson.
