Hope doesn't have Ancestry or Find My Past, so we can help her with census information, only when she gets to the point of needing it

Hope - can you put the details of one of your marriages here and we will go through what you need to do next. Also, if you want us to - we can start adding your family to our Black Country Connections tree - so that was you can see exactly what you need to do next and where you're going.

We will need:
the date of the marriage,
where it took place,
the names of the bride and groom,
their ages and occupations,
their father's names and their occupations
and the names of the witnesses.

and is born around the Black Country Area
as although we have a bit of a rubber boundary I need one toe in the BC area.

So if we Have William Cox born 1868....where is he born? as on ancestry there is one that fits with father Richard
an ag labourer. ....
That may or may not be yours.

So working to present day
how does the line go pls
and where born

so from William then how does it link to you?
Yes my Great Grandad Richard Cox was a ag Labourer on a farm.

My Dads family all come from the Black Country so may be best to do that side as the Cox come from Glostershire many thanks x
Can you post the line to you and place of birth pls then I can start it off

So I would look at the 1871 census for Richard Cox with a son called William born 1868 -/+ 5 years.

That would give you an idea of William's mother's given names(s).

I would look for an 1891 census with Johen Madox and daughter Maud born 1888 -/+5 years.
