Hi

This guy has come up in previous discussion [mainly in regard to his connection to the Lowe family] and he's on BCC.

The problem I have is that I believe a number of the children attributed to him & his wife Sarah actually belong to his second wife Eliza Woodward [nee Cox].

Here's my case:

In 1891 Richmond, a widower, is living at 74 Oldbury Road Rowley Regis along with the following children: Benjamin [born abt. 1871]; Hezekiah [born abt. 1875]; William [born abt. 1877]; Thomas [born abt. 1878]; Selina [born abt. 1883]; James [born abt. 1885]; & Elizabeth [born abt. 1888].

In 1901 he's married to an Eliza [born abt. 1845] and living at Sivters Lane Rowley Regis along with the following children: Dudley [born abt. 1866]; James [born abt. 1885]; Edward [born abt. 1887]; Aaron [born abt. 1882]; Jabez [born abt. 1884]; Selina [born abt. 1883]; & Elizabeth [born abt. 1886]. Also living with them is a stepson, Joseph Cox [born abt. 1864].

There's a marriage for a Richmond Plant & Eliza Woodward - 1891 Stourbridge Volume 6c page 185.

In 1891 there's an Eliza Woodward [born abt. 1841] who is a widow living at 62 Oldbury Road Rowley Regis along with the following children: Joseph [born abt. 1869]; Sarah A [born abt. 1877]; Richard [born abt. 1880]; Aaron [born abt. 1882]; Jabez [born abt. 1884]; & Edward [born abt. 1887].


It would appear to me that that Aaron, Jabez and Edward are not the children of Richmond.

Doug

It certainly looks that way Doug
and if so we need to change BCC

I will also contact Dennis

can anyone find any births for these 3 kids pls as Woodward or Plant

West Midlands Birth 1881.
WOODWARD Aaron, Rowley Regis. Sandwell Register Office. RR/77/498.

West Midlands Birth 1883.
WOODWARD Jabez. Rowley Regis. Sandwell Register Office. RR/82/357.

West Midlands Birth 1886.
WOODWARD Edward. Rowley Regis. Sandwell Register Office. RR/91/192.

That sorts it doesnt it?

Ok I will disconnect and connect up
could do with knowing who this Eliza is?
maiden name

I will tweak but Doug can you add all those other bits re census etc you flag on the thread
and add the cenuss on Eliza too

Hi

I'll add what I can to BCC in the morning in regard to Eliza et al - I've gleaned details about her previous marriage & 3 kids she had out of wedlock. Her maiden name was Cox and she married a Richard Woodward [1843-1887] in 1874 at Blackheath

Doug

Ok Doug if you need a look up
add it and we will do our best to see what we can verify

if you can stick the link on here when you have added we can then archive this

Hi

I've added verifiable information to Eliza Cox.

Reckon it's ok to finish this one up?

Doug

Ok I will archive

I have just added Unknown Unknown for the father of her first 3 kids

it would be interesting to know if a father is on the birth certif for them

COMPLETED
