Yes that's right

Not sure what you want to do with this one DB

if you want the marriage looked up add it to list
I haven't time to add any stuff

so unless otherwise advised flagging to archive

Don't think we can add to BCC yet cos no proof it's deffo them. I'll ask for marriage look up.

John Grove, otp & Esther Cartwright, otp

Now I am totally confused otp is Kingswinford? so these Groves can't be connected to Thomas Grove and family 3 households up on 1841 census can they? Thomas was from Halesowen and rest of family from Old Hill Rowley Regis. I think I need to sleep on this

You can only really add that marriage in as a possible in the notes for that John Grove

the wit could be his sister
area is good and dob is good
so it is a real possibility but only add it in as a poss in notes

They did get married anywhere!
don't worry too much about otp
they often said that to get married in that parish
she was prob from there Cartwright I think is a name from that area
