Hello and thankyou for the welcome.
William and Eliza Floyd were my husbands great-great grandparents and I have found them in Stourbridge on the 1851, 1861, 1881 census. In 1871 they were in Woolaston, is this place nearby?
Regards DF

Hi , yes, this is the family. Williams birth varies in the early census, but settles in later ones to being born circa 1810. Can't find him in the 1841 census though. On their marriage certificate it says his father was also William, a butcher.
I have Elizas birth, her maiden name was Beddle/Biddle.

Did Wm and Eliza Marry 1842 Kidderminster

Do you have Elizabeth's baptism? No births before 1837. If they Married 1842 they will be single on the 1841 Census, where were they born DF 17

Great replies. Havn't done much to this side of the family.
Thanks Farside for the info, does "PR" mean the information comes from the parish records? So can I assume they had both been married before and were widow and widower?
