Hi Jo, yes it could be Elizabeth born about 1817. I have her blank, so she could have Married Joseph Bradney, she would have been the right age (20) in 1837. Her father Joseph was born about 1787. Will see what else I can find.

Linell.

Can you re-check this please Jo:-

1851. Cradley heath, Rowley Regis
Joseph Stringer, head, 63, Trace maker,
Mary, wife, 59, West bromwich
John, son, 32, Chain maker,
Eliza, daur, 18, Chain maker,
Mirah, daur, 17, Chain maker

I have the family minus Elizabeth in 1851 at 92 Redhall Hill Rowley Regis in 1851.

I have Joseph, Mary, John, Eliza and Mirah. Son Joseph is next door at 91 Redhall Hill with wife Esther.

I would think that a Chainmaker could also be a Gun Barrel Welder, I found other Census entries for Head of Households who are both Chainmaker and Gun Barrel Welders. Linell.

Sorry for the delay, I had company!
It says, Cradley Heath, Redall Hill(Ecclesiastical parish) owley Regis
I have re checked and that is right for 1851.
The house previous is
Joseph Stringer, head, 25, Chain Maker
Esther, wife, 23, Tailoress, Dudley
Richard, son, 4? months
All others born Rowley Regis

The house the other side is
William Stringer, 63, Labourer on Road
Sarah, wife, 61, Late Nail Maker
Samuel, son, 18, Chain Maker
All born Rowley Regis

Looks the same one to me
we can always connect up and add a note

William aged 63 in 1851 is Joseph's 1787 brother. I would think it was Joseph and Mary's daughter Elizabeth 1817 who Married Joseph Bradney. Over to you Jo

Linell.

Thanks Linell!
I really dont know?
Unless of course they had an Elizabeth and Eliza?

Hang on they did have Elizabeth and an Eliza!

Yes they did, but don't read too much into that, I have seen that scenario before as well as the Chainmaker/Gun Smith

Linell.

Could we check a record and see if father is a Gun Barrell welder? It just feels they are the same?
Jo:)

Ok tell you what let's connect it up with a note
and look the bapt for a few up from this family

you are correct to be cautious but the occup gun barrel welder and chainmaker and tracer
are interchangeable see it on lots of look ups
