Homers in Dudley

Hello,
I'm new to GFUK and I'm interested in the Homer/Hawkes-Bevan-Kempster families.
I have my family living in Dudley
Benjamin Homer b 1713 d 1788 in Dudley.
He married Tamar Hawkes in 1734 Dudley. Children were Tamar b 1743 Benjamin b 1745 THOMAS b 1746 (my ancestor) John b 1748, Joseph b 1751 and Mary b 1756.
THOMAS m Mary Truman in Dudley in 1769 but by 1790 the family was in Liverpool as their son james was born there.
I have emailed Dudley Record Office/Archive to see whether the church records are held there.
I am very interested in the occupations of my family ( especially in the Dudley area) so if anyone could give me any pointers I'd be a happy bunny
Regards
Carolyn

Well I've been on no trouble, don't think Carolyn has joined yet that is why she can't get on
Welcome to the forum Carolyn, are your HAWKES and HOMERS baptist's then
I have some Baptist Ancestors, really hard to track down. Look forward to your posts from Linell.

Hello again,
I am puzzled and I hope you have the patience to help me again.
You have written " did Tamar re marry", I think you may have picked up on something that I definately haven't.
Am I missing something?
Regards
Carolyn.

Hi Pete, no sorry I don't have the Old Meeting House Register, it is at Dudley, think Mally has a copy
I do have the Cinderbank Baptist Records, a Wm Hawke is listed as a Member in there circa 1700, which tells me that Carolyn's family probably were Baptists. Linell.
