Hi Folks

Have 2 missing people please,

In 41 and 51 Elizabeth Malpas(s) and Benjamin Malpas(s) are living together with their children in Kingswinford.
George 1849-41
Ann 1841
Mary 1844
Maria 1847
Benjamin c1853
Elizabeth 1856

I can find neither of them in 61. However Ann appears to be in Bridgnorth as a servant. As is Mary. Maria is a servant in Kingswinford. Benjamin and Elizabeth are living with an aunt (Cox) in Kingswinford. So where's Mom and Dad??

In 71 Elizabeth is living in Kingswinford with her son Benjamin.
Now found benjamin in 71 (see below) and In 81 Benjamin appears living with his daughter Ann in Mexborough and is now a widower.

Any help gratefully received as always
Thanks

Kim

MALPASS Benjamin PARRISH Elizabeth Wordsley, Holy Trinity Dudley Register Office 018/001/152

Malpass married Parrish 1838 -- Parrish living with (grandaughter?) Caroline Jones who married Pargeter1846?


Jane and Elizabeth sisters? daughter of James Parrish 1766?

Wow Maths girl well done you

The pargeters have been popping up for a long time with the parrish family one way or another, and i've not been able to connect them.
I'm confused now lol
Jane Jones and Elizabeth Malpass are sisters nee parrish..

So Caroline jones married Edward Pargeter who died in 1850? Then the children where farmed out to the rest of the family in following census...Then from what i can make Richard Pargeter ( Carolines son) Went on to marry Annie (Mary Ann) Pargeter( who was Jane and Elizabeths brothers son!) in 1892.

Thank you
