Hi I have a Thomas Mallen who was a Haberdasher in Old Hill. His business opened around 1850 and closed in about 1890. He married Maria Hazelhurst. She was daughter of John Hazelhurst b Dawley and later a Haberdasher in Quarry Bank. I do not have bmd dates on Thomas but have many docs from his business. Thomas and Maria had children obne of whom was a Florence who married into the Parkes family of Sedgley. Of these I have quite a lot. Cheers Roger Thomspon.

Hi All I'm looking for WILLIAM STOKES b 1841 Kingswinford. Marriage: MARRIAGE EVENT: 1. Parish Register. "9.6.1867 St Thomas MFM203 William Stokes 26 B labourer Dudley James labourer Hannah Pound 21 S '' Edward(dec) '' witnesses Thomas Allen & Ann Allen." CENSUS 1, 1871. "1871 Forge Row Brierley Hill William Stokes H M 30 labourer Kingswinford Hannah W M 25 '' Thomas S 2 '' William S 1 ''." Dead by 1881 (can't find death on GRO - only likely one wasn't from Brierley Hill or Rowley Regis) . CENSUS 1, 1881. "1881 139 High St Rowley Regis Hannah Stokes H W 34 b Worcester charwoman & general servant Thomas s 13 '' William s 11 '' Arthur s 13 '' Ezekial s 7 '' Samuel s 6 '' Wilford s 5 '' Freddy s 4 ''." Thought this might be him in 1861 as he seems to be the ONLY candidate, although the age is out. possibly "right of 9 locks at top of 9 locks bridge" Brierley Hill Martha Stokes H W 71 Kingswinford Simon S U 30 '' boatman WILLIAM S U 27 '' '' Mary D 2 '' James S 1 '' William Horton vis U 30 Worcestershire '' But his father was JOHN....... If this is him, he was bap 16/4/1834 Kingswinford the same day as Abel Stokes - both to John & Martha. Simon may have been bap Doncaster with another son Alfred. Might be worth checking if Alfred died. See lodger - in 1871 William & Hannah live next door to Frances & Sarah Horton. Any help would be most welcome to this brickwall.

I wonder if anyone is researching a WILKS/WILKES family and has found the baptism of a Betsey born 1846-1848? If you have I would be so pleased to hear from you. Betsey was illegitimate and on different census returns she gives her birthplace as Dudley, Hall Green and Sedgley. She was Betsey in 1871 and on her marriage certificate but she became Elizabeth on her son's birth certificate and later censuses. I haven't managed to find her on the IGI or on the 1851/61 censuses. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks, Maureen
