Hi Everyone, this is my brick wall.

Looking for the birth of William Richards brn c1767. m.1786 to Hannah Ann Wood brn c1767.
In the 1841 census William's parish was Kingswinford, Staffordshire, England. His marriage wasin Brierley Hill,his children [6] were born in Brierley Hill between 1793-1804, he worked a pub named the"Swan' in Kingswinford. In the White Directory List 1834 his name is printed A.William Richards, his two elder sons were named Joseph brn. 1793 and John brn1796. The A. may stand for Alexander as Alexander appears often in the tree. I was given this information, it may help!! Brierley Hill: Baptisms and Burials 1766-1800 Finche 1-3. This is my information I hope it is enough. I have choosen to put this message in the brick wall but perhaps it could have been in "northernlass" moderator Annie, I was'nt sure what to do. All of this is to find William's parents names if possible. Looking forward to hearing from someone. After reading this I'm thinking William may have been born in another parish!!! another town near by!!! anyway hoping for a reply, cheers, Trish

There are lots of Richards in the Old Swinford Poor Law & Settlement Documents, going back to the 1600's. Will have a look later today. Also found Wim Richards Victualler at the Swan Inn Moor Lane Brierley Hill 1822 on Fowler's Kingswinford Map.

Will look again later today from Linell.
