Any more details, Chain maker could also be an Iron worker, they make chains out of iron don't they.

wondering if the Netherton link might be them?

Wondering if the John as father on this marriage for Samuel Billingham should say James

1st Aug 1886 St James Dudley
Samuel Billingham 20 bach Ironworker Netherton John Billingham chainmaker
Keturah Edwards 19 spinster Netherton John Edwards deceased Collier
banns
both signed
Wit - Joseph Jones X / Eliza Grove X

1891 Oak Street Quarry Bank

Samuel Billingham Lodger M. 26 Chain Maker Born Quarry Bank
Keturah Billingham Lodger M. 30 Born Cradley
Amy M Billingham Lodger 5 Born Quarry Bank
John Billingham Lodger 7Mths Born Quarry Bank

then Keturah remarries and his here...

with a load of Homers which I think is significant

I am wondering if Samuel is actually the son of James and Esther

1871 Birch Coppice Kingswinford

Thos Billingham Son 13 Chain Maker Born Kingswinford

Alexander Billingham Son 9 Scholar Born Kingswinford
Samuel Billingham Son 8 Scholar Born Kingswinford
Joseph Billingham Son 4 Scholar Born Kingswinford
Dorothy Billingham Daur. 2 Born Kingswinford
Major Billingham Son 1 Born Kingswinford

and then James remarries here...
1881: High St, Kingswinford
James Billingham 47 Head Chainmaker
Sophia Billingham 46 Wife
Alexandra Billingham 17 Son Chainmaker
Samuel Billingham 16 Son Lab in Iron Works
Joseph Billingham 13 Son Blower in chainshop
(all born Quarry Bank)

I have both these marriages looked up for James and Esther Mallon and Sophia HIllman yet to enter

I think the Samuel here is the Samuel that marries Keturah
and that father should say James not John.

James b abt 1833 is son of James b 1803 and Nancy
http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... =444036920

Ances trees seem to have Nancy as a Homer

what do you think?

I think one is father George for these and other is James

Although this could be the one for Samuel and James

this would fit the death

Thanks Kaye

the one that marries Keturah as it seems there are 3 of them

so flagging to archive
