Hi All. am hoping someone can help me with this Before i go totaly Mad.

I have Solomon jennings Born Staffordshire about 1812. He Married Mary cranage (transcribed Cramage) in 1834 in wolverhampton.

I have Children for him. william, george,Elizabeth, Henry, Mary solomon and Martha.

I cannot For the Life of me find this Mans Birth.

I have Found that he Died In Just after the 1851 Census was taken.


Please help.

The 1851 Census says he was born in Tipton, but there is no mention of him on the IGI. There is only St Martins in Tipton with registers as early as 1812. Are there any clues on his marriage or his death certificate - maybe a brother?

He is living in Tipton in the 1841 census and claims he was born in Tipton in the 1851 census.

1851 he says he was born 1812 and 1841 he says we was born 1816.

Only Solomon birth that suits is this one.

Might be worth checking the Parish Bastardry records.

Perhaps Mary Smith claimed Jennings as the father or married a Jennings.

Would be held at the Archives, try emailing Dudley Archives first and ask them if they hold them if not it may be the County Record Office in Stafford. HTH from Linell.
