James Billingham. abt 1804.
Mary Billingham. abt 1797.
Lucy Billingham. abt 1819.
Joseph Billingham. abt 1832.
Daniel Billingham. abt 1838.
Benjamin Billingham. abt 1840.
James Billingham. abt 1843.

These are all chain makers, according to the image they have grand dau. age 2 Mary Ann ?????? can't make it out. Could be Capewell.

West Midlands Marriage 1846.
BILLINGHAM Ann, CAPEWELL John. Kingswinford, St Mary. Dudley Register Office. 213/002/70.

Ok so lets go with 2 different ones
