Holly has inserted a Samuel West Wood born 1852 Dudley son of Benjamin Westwood and Hannah Unknown.
I have inserted a Samuel Westwood born 1852 RR and married a Mira Parsons born 1852 RR
They were married on 16/2/1873 at St.Pauls Blackheath and I think Samuel is the same one that Holly has inserted.

Nl, Archive this as already found evidence that parents of Samuel were James Westwood and Ann Unknown.
i.e. On 1881 Census Mirah and Samuel are shown and Samuel is noted as a Labourer on Canal born Waterfall Lane RR
On 1871 Census he is living with parents James and Ann at Waterfall Lane and is noted as a Boat Loader

Hi Mumbles, so there were 2 Samuel Westwoods born 1852 Dudley? Just to clarify, many thanks from linell.

Hi Linell,
All I did was track Samuel Westwood who married Mira or Mirah Parsons and from Census records from 1851 to 1901 it was obvious that he was son of James and Ann and not Benjamin as they lived in Waterfall Lane and on 1881 Census it noted that Samuel was born in Waterfall Lane. I did not find the Samuel Westwood with father Benjamin.

Ok archived
