But cannot find father of Thomas Williams i.e.James before 1881 and his family. I would like to connect to Samuel Williams who is on 1881 Census with Thomas and his father James but cannot find before James widowed ?

Think this is them in Love Lane 1861 but no Thomas:-

JAMES WILLIAMS Head Married 38 yrs
ELIZABETH WILLIAMS Wife Married 25 yrs
ELIZABETH WILLIAMS Daughter 12 yrs
ANN WILLIAMS Daughter 10 yrs
JAMES WILLIAMS Son 2 yrs
MARIA WILLIAMS Daughter 1 yr


Here is a Thomas of the right age:-

1851 Club Yard B'ham Street
George Williams HD M 41 Nailer Halesowen
Sarah Wife 39 Nailer Halesowen
John Son U 19 Nailer Halesowen
Charles Son U 17 Nailer Halesowen
George Son 11 Nailer Halesowen
Thomas Son 1 Halesowen

Linell.

Hi Linell,
Problems with ISP so could not reply until now.
The club yard Thomas is right age but wrong family. George and Sarah are already on bcc and Thomas connects to myself and Spikemaker.
I think the other family is might be correct but no link to Thomas or Samuel

Not the Love Lane James as alive in 1881 and a James Williams is also living with son Thomas in 1881

A James Williams married a Mary Hadley in 1848 St. John Halesowen and a Lot of Mary Williams died in period 1851 in Stourbridge so it is probable This James re-married an Elizabeth but no marriage identified
