Thanks for this marriage look up RF

...so Mary remarried... to James Bradley
Marriage 1887

Could that be a mistake on Richards marriage details, should it say Father Jabez and not James?

I think it is the same one

what is Jabez in this census

1881: Halesowen Road, Rowley Regis
Jabez Priest 38
Mary Priest 29
Harriet Priest 10
Richard Priest 6
Joseph Priest 3
Elizabeth Priest 10 mths


is he a miner on 1881

Richard is a labourer on 1901
area is good

I do too, shall I add it with a note? - Richard Priest (father given as James Priest instead of Jabez on marr doc)

Yes good idea and put it for a recheck too
put urgent in and I will do it next week.

wonder if he said Jaz and vicar thought he said James Jas

O'k I've done that and I'll add info on BCC later

mallosa wrote:Can you leave it just for a while longer until I get a minute Jan?

Yep will take the arch status off and delete the posts

Ok Mally I have rechecked this and it is deffo James but I think it is him
so have added that marriage with a note

we could do with adding the other info on this thread

do you need some help adding?

Thanks Jan...adding it now
