I have just joined the website, am already requesting some information! I have traced my father's family to Joseph Hackett, born 1811 in Old Hill, Staffs, died 1898 in Dudley. Married Elizabeth unknown in 1835, Rowley Regis. I believe Joseph's parents are Joseph Hackett, born approx 1770 and Mary unknown, born approx 1771 but cannot verify this. The family is from the Black Country, Rowley Regis/Old Hill/Dudley area. If anyone can help me get more information on Joseph and Mary or guide me where to look, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks

So many Joseph Hacketts

what info do you have already?
do you see them on the BCC website?

who are his sibs that you have?

I think she has them all already and just wants information about Joseph Hackett 1770 and Mary Unknown ( Mary Stokes?)

Is this him?

Thanks to everyone who sent suggestions on possible links to Joseph and Mary Hackett. So far I didn't find out anything new

If this helps anyone, they had a son called Joseph, born 1810/1811 who married Elizabeth (born 1812 in Rowley Regis, married 1835). They are:
Mary Ann, born 1827
Samuel born 1852
Eliza born 1840
John (my great, grandfather), born 1843
Hannah, born 1847

Joseph died in 1898, Dudley and in the 1891 census he is living at 4, Halesowen Road, Old Hill, Rowley Regis.

I have found Joseph's father Joseph, the current person of my interest, who I thought was born 1770, on the 1841 census, living Garratt's Lane, Rowley Regis and could have been born in 1769. Living with Mary, aged 70 and Ragan Parsons, Thomas Hackett. But I'm at a dead end now with this and can't find any way backwards or any more information on Joseph and Mary. I've also tried parish records and the IGI register but no luck. I don't know if you have any ideas? Thanks. Jane
