I am trying to research this surname. I know they owned a garage on Lichfield road, Brownhills. Kenneth Boston's(1937) father was Thomas(1910), his father Thomas(1891?) also. Thomas the elder married Mary Ann Johnson in St Chads Lichfield. We believe that there was a fish shop somewhere in the equasion too!! Thomas (1910) married Eva May Brimham. I have been told a photo exists of one of the Thomases outside the garage. Any help would be gratefully received.

Hi Judy, I think you will find that West Bromwich used to be in Staffs, but it is now in the West Midlands and they are two different databases. Good luck Val

Hello Everyone, I wonder if it is possible for someone to check a marriage at All Saints, West Bromwich for me. It was on 11 August 1828 and between Richard Roden (possibly Rhoden) and Charlotte Morris. One of the witnesses was George Francis Rhodes and I wonder if this could have been Rhoden. Incidentally, this marriage is from a branch of my family tree to which I have just returned after researching other branches for some years. When I found it originally I have noted its source as being from the Staffs Marriage Index. I do not seem to be able to find that now. Is it defunct or taken over by some other organization does anyone know? Regards, Judy Mellowes Sydney

As FMP has been chosen as the partner of the Family History Societies, It will probably have more genealogists visit the site than it has had SINCE Ancestry.co.uk came Flying in onto our screens, and this was the point, FMP WAS the site to go to, until Ancestry came along with its subscription deal working out far cheaper than FMP's. Which was at the time still called 1837Online. FreeBMD wasn't about then either, your choices were ~ the IGI, and 1837 Online! How many people haven't been on FMP for a while until the 1911 appeared there? This FMP partnering is good news, I am not surprised that the SFHS have chosen them as the partner site. As long as we all get more info (something we crave daily?) its good for Family History Researchers, particularly those who for whatever reason are not able to visit the RO's.

My wife's grandfather was the Cold Meat Specialist for Palethorpes. We still have his recipe book from 1910/11, giving all the different types of sausage, including? German No.1, No.2, Sheffield Polony,Yorkshire Polony, Tomato sausage, smoked, Sandringham,beef, brawn, Vienna, Black pudding,Frankfurt-type,Polish, etc. With all types there was a 'magic' ingredient called Cambridge seasoning. Older members will remember that Cambridge was the trade name for Palethorpes sausages. It was obviously a closely-guarded secret as the recipe does not appear in his book at all Also in the book is a photo of (Ithink) two Palethorpe sons with fighting cocks, spurs attached!!

Hi Chris and Cassy, I live in Brookfield, Wisconsin which is near to Milwaukee on the shores of Lake Michigan. The city has a reputation for making the best sausages to be found in the US although they are based on German, Italian and Polish recipes. Would you believe that during intervals in the local Milwaukee Brewers professional baseball team games, races are held between persons each dressed in outfits to represent different sausages that are made in Milwaukee. I kid you not but I reason that as baseball games are so boring that something has to be done to create a diversion. If you need to see more information use Google to search for "Milwaukee Brewers Sausage Races" and all will be revealed. We do have a Butcher who originates from Newcastle, the place you don't take coals to, being the Uncle to the O'brien who now plays football I think for Bolton Wanderers . This Butcher used to have his own business but now is to be found working for a supermarket and makes English bangers to his own recipe which are sold frozen. In accordance with the regulations he does not include additives except bread crumbs and no preservative is allowed. When we exported ourselves to the US in 1979, our elder son, who had to stay in England at that time, took lodgings over a butcher's shop at a location well known in the Black Country, and they sold sausages made on the premises. To access his rooms during our visits we had to pass through the back room where the sausages were prepared. We asked about the sacks of what appeared to be bright red sawdust and were told that when the meat for the sausages was minced, handfuls of this bright red "sawdust" was thrown into the mix to provide a nice red colour, a filler and a preservative that regulations allow. Most probably the "sawdust" was bread crumbs but ---------------? I have a book that was my Mother's, She was from the LEWIS family from Park Village from which family came John LEWIS who became Mayor of Wolverhampton in 1930 and died in office. Would love to hear from any related LEWIS family descendant. The title of the book is " Women's Own Book of Home" that was published in 1923 and on page 347 the sausage recipe is as follows. Finely chop 2lb of lean beef and 1lb of beef suet; mix with 1/2lb of bread crumbs; season with pepper and salt, adding powdered sage and sweet herbs to flavour. Press into prepared skins. I suppose not having "prepared skins" available it would be an idea to form the mixture into balls and then flatten them before frying in a little butter and instead of sausages call them "rissoles". A name that I believe had faded with the disappearance of the authentic English banger. The book also provide a recipe for " Sausages and Potatoes" as follows 1lb sausages, cooked potatoes, 1/2oz butter, little milk, salt and pepper.( Enough for three to four people) Mash the potatoes, adding the butter, milk, salt and pepper, put them into a hot pan with a little dripping; prick the sausages , put them in a hot pan with a little dripping, fry till crisp brown, place them round the potatoes and serve. Interesting that there in no quantity of potatoes given in the recipe but these were the days when, as my wife remembers in the 30's, that to make potatoes "go round" cooked swede or turnips were mixed in with the potatoes, so what was served was what you had. I can remember going walks to the countryside with "our gang" to search out in fields, clumps of swedes or turnips to "borrow" one or two to take home to augment the family food supply. To this day I cannot face swede or turnip.

Hi Cassy, Could be the same book, my Mom brought this copy over with her when she came to the US back in the summer of 1920. Unfortunately it is a bit ragged with parts missing.

Hi David, or should I say cousin? Benjamin BISSELL and Elizabeth JONES are my 5x Great Grandparents! This is what I have on this couple: Benjamin BISSELL bap 23 Jul 1758 All Saints', West Bromwich, buried 8 Jun 1832 All Saints', West Bromwich. He married Elizabeth JONES (born c1764? buried 5 Sep 1830) on 7 Jan 1793 at Dudley. They had the following children: Rebecca b1793 William b1795 - married Ann/ Nancy had at least 5 children (got bit of further info) Mary b1798 Phoebe b. 1800 (my 4 x Great Grandmother married Enoch WASHINGTON) Sarah b. 1801 Benjamin b. 1802 - married twice, had 4 children (got further info if required) Joseph b. 1806 Ann b. 1812 I believe that Benjamin BISSELL's parents wre Thomas BISSELL and Lydia HILL who married 13 Jul 1740 at Halesowen and had the following children: Thomas b. 1741 Isaac b. 1743 Sarah 1745- 1746 Sarah b. 1746 Joseph b. 1748 Mary 1749 - 1750 Mary b. 1751 Richard b. 1753 Benjamin b. 1758 Lydia b. 1761 It seems they moved to West Bromwich by 1751, birth of the second daughter called Mary. Hope the above makes sense. Would love to exchange info.

Hallo David When I was a child in Northfield, Birmingham, I was taught by a Mrs Bissell who originated, I think, in the Blackheath area. My mother was amazed to find it was the same Mrs Bissell who taught her as a child when she lived in Blackheath. Is this the Mrs Bissell (the Christian name Enid springs to mind) to whom you refer?
