I have William Edward Evans born 23.10.1877 whose father was Samuel Evans , a stained glass manufacturer. His mother was Elizabeth Evans nee Parkes. The address of birth was Oldbury Road Smethwick. Will was known to me after his retirement. He was a senior (Chief?) lighthouse Lens grinder at Chance and Hunt in Smethwick. He was profoundly deaf, thought to be an understandable (but inexcusable) industrial injury. He married Elsie Hingley and in later life lived in Vicarage Road Langley Green. Elsie was a robust school teacher and a trenchant socialist. Will was a quiet and kindly man. They had no children. I have a good line on Elsie's genealogy but not Will's. Hope this links in.

Hello Dave,regarding INMATE,my dictionary gives inmate as an occupier of a house.I assume not necessarily the owner of the house. I also have a death certificate of 1850 where the informant gives her address and describes herself as Inmate.

Hi Chris I'll say "hello" from you when I go in tomorrow! (To post a family tree!)

I'm interested in any, dead or alive, and can help you with many of their family trees, some back from the Black Country into Herefordshire.
