On the marriage father is John
But think this may be an error on entry
Marriage 1905 St Luke, Cradley Heath
Albert WILLETTS 19 B Labourer Old Hill Father John Willetts (Dec) Chain-Maker Martha GRAY 20 S Old Hill Father Richard Gray Labourer
Wit; Thomas Hingley Parsons
Mary Ann Hingley Bache
Note: THESE SIGN ON A LOT OF WEDS, MUST BE CLERGY Etc)
or we have 2 Alberts that marry Marthas
for the moment I have merged and added a note
http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... =315425352so is his father Philip or John
the 1911 fits with him being a fruiterer
son philip
Martha b quarry bank
area good ie old hill
but why on marriage is father John and he is a Labourer not fruiterer

I think it is the right one on the 1911
but is she Martha Gray?
if so
why on marriage is his father John
deceased by 1905
and Albert is a labourer
