Would anyone know the popular places to get married in Tipton around 1920 Ray

Is there anyone researching Wilkinson from Dudley? George G Wilkinson c.1864 Fire brick manuf. 1901 living St.James Rd.Dudley his father also Geo.1834 was a bank manager. I'm having a bit of a problem with George jnr's wife Kate,whom I believe to be my g.g.aunt.Their eldest child George st.clair Wilk.is 7 in 1891---17 in 1901. George + Kate married in 1887 at St.Augustines Holly Hall. The only birth I can find for a Geo.st.clair in 1884 Dudley has the surname Ellis I may be way off track here,so at the moment a little wary of buying birth.cert Geo.st.clair., My reasons for thinking that the above Kate is my g.g.aunt(your thoughts would be appreciated) John Evan Ellis 1852 (my g.grandfather) Eva ---- 1857 Kate ---- 1860 Ada -- 1864 These were the children of Catherine Ellis (never married) their step-grandfather was Charles Mills (tailor) In 1881 John is John Evans his future wife a visitor. Ist marr calls himself John Mills father John Mills tailor 2nd ------------------------John Ellis ---------Charles Ellis ---- When Kate marries she is Kate V.EVANS father Charles St.clair Evans master tailor. Is all this feasible, especially with the different backgrounds ( and porkies) where on earth does st.clair come from(who's the patron saint of tailors?) I f anyones reached the end of this posting and understands it "good on yer"" just hoping a Wilkinson researcher may be able to help. Jackie.

Susan, This could very well be the same family. I will try to get some more research done on this family. The only reason I have them at all is due to the fact that one of my SKELDING males married Priscilla Plant Hickman. He was a widower and she the widow (the younger one) mentioned. I did no more than find background for Priscilla, tracing her former husband and family. I did find Priscilla on the 1841 census with her Mother, Priscilla Plank, who was already a widow at age 40 (rounded down). However, Ann, Daniel and Thomas are with William and Priscilla SKELDING in the 1871 census; Only Daniel is with them in the 1881 census and in the 1891 census, Thomas Hickman with his wife Elizabeth and son George H. are with Priscilla, who is then a widow. And, Mellie, I already know they wore long white dresses! Yards

Watch it Mellie, she's gonna getcha!!!! Wolfie...................the quiet one i'm sooooo scared ROTFLMFAO!!! Mellie How Come My Coat Of Arms Has Buckles At The Back?

Susan, deny all knowledge LOL that darn yankee is determind to get us all in her tree LOL ROTFLMFAO! >>>Hi Susan, I have a HICKMAN family from Brierley Hill in my tree. MOst of the names you mention are there. The family I have is: William Hickman with wife Priscilla PLANT, married Holy Trinity, Wordsley 1844. Children: David, B. 1845- 1846 Priscilla, B. 1846- 1847 William, B. 1849- 1850 Anne, B. 1853- 1854 Daniel, B. 1856- 1857 Thomas, B. 1858- 1859 All children born Brierley Hill/ Kingswinford In 1851 census, family at Brierley Hill, Kingswinford, William 28 and Priscilla 27. In 1861 census, Priscilla is Widow. She and children living with Priscilla Alsop Hickamn, Widow, 73. Younger Priscilla is shown as "Daughter", 38. Not sure if this should be "daughter in Law" though. This family also in Kingswinford at Back Lane from Whimsey Inn, Kingswinford. (Eccl. Parish is Brierley Hill). Does this seem to "fit"? Yardsley<<<<<<< Mellie How Come My Coat Of Arms Has Buckles At The Back?

Hi Yardsley, I feel there may well be some connection with my Hickmans and yours. I have a Daniel Hickman born abt 1856 living at 20 North St Brierley Hill with wife Mary A. In 1891.He is a coal miner,and I believe they married at Holy Trinity,Wordsley.I think Mary A was previously HOLDEN. Children : Samuel,Daniel,Sussanah,Job and Thomas. Also,David Hickman born abt 1846 in Kingswinford,also a coal miner,living in 1891 at 2 Hill St,Brierley Hill,with wife Sarah Ann.Children : Emily Holden Clara Holden (daurs of wife,presumably) Hannah Hickman and Phoebe Hickman. I wonder if David and Daniel are the sons of your William and Priscilla? And James Hickman born abt 1845 living in 1891 at 26 North St Brierley Hill with wife Priscilla. Samuel Hickman was the son of Daniel and Mary born abt 1881 and on the 1901 census he is a glass blower.This is the Hickman I am interested in,as I believe he is my great-grandfather,father of my grandmother Elizabeth Wilkinson and possibly also of her older sister Priscilla Wilkinson.Their mother was Louisa Wilkinson,a brickyard labourer. Does any of the above mean anything to you? Many thanks, Susan. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Morning Cassy, A site which may be useful is General Register Office for Scotland. You can find it at www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk I gather that it contains a fully searchable database of 50 million names. It includes Births and Marriages from the Old Parish Records from 1553 - 1854. But more importantly for you it contains Civil Registers of Births from 1855 - 1905, Marriages from 1855 -1930 and Deaths from 1855 - 1955. It also contains all census records from 1841 - 1901 and Scottish wills from 1500 - 1901. That is the good news. Unfortunately you have to pay to use this site. It costs £6-00 for 7 days access which includes 30 page credits for copies. I have not used this site myself so I cannot tell you how easy/difficult it is to access. But it was mentioned at a lecture that I attended last Saturday. The Lecturer was very enthusiastic about it. Hope this might be of help.

Hello Roger, Thanks for your reply. I would be very interested in anything you have on the Hickman name in Brierley Hill or Wordsley. I believe my Hickmans mostly lived in or around the North St area of Brierly Hill. Other names in the clan are Daniel,James,Mary,Priscilla,Annie,Timothy Jemima as well as the Samuel I am looking for.

> in Scotland about 1927 Presumably everyone here is aware that the Scottish records are not part of the "ordinary" records formerly held at St Catherine's house. They have to be researched separately. I suspect that they are not on FreeBMD etc. Does anyone here have further info? The Scottish Records used to be available for public inspection in person (i.e. the actual registers, not just the indexes).

Hello All, Does anyone have anything on a Samuel Hickman,date of birth about 1880 in Brierley Hill,please? I believe that at the time of the 1901 census he was living with his married sister Annie Underhill and her husband William in North St Brierley Hill.(No 26) He was a glass blower by occupation. He is named on the marriage certificate of my grandmother Elizabeth Wilkinson as her illegitimate father.She was born in 1905 to Louisa Wilkinson,a brickyard labourer.There is another (older) child,Priscilla,who may or may not have been Samuel's. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks. Susan. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
