Hi Mellie & Wanda, thanks for your emails. Very sorry it has taken so long to reply to you both, but have been quite bury studying at university. Unfortunately, I know so little about my FEREDAY line, I cannot connect with yours. Thanks Wanda, for finding & sending all those images of parish records, I found amongst them a Richard FEREDAY christened in Tipton 27th March 1804 to Benjamin & Sarah FEREDAY. When the 1841 Census becomes available, maybe it would shed more light on my Richard & Rebecca FEREDAY. (According to John ARNOLD & Rebecca FEREDAY's marriage cert 23rd December 1849, Richard was already deceased, & had been a miner). I had a look on the West Midlands BMD, & found several deaths for Richard FEREDAYs: 1842 death: Richard FEREDAY (sub-district) Sedgley; (registers at) Dudley; (reference) SEG/006/307 1843 death: Richard FEREDAY (sub-district) Sedgley; (registers at) Dudley; (reference) SEG/008/60 1846 death: Richard T FEREDAY (sub-district) Dudley; (registers at) Dudley; (reference) DUD/014/235 I also found this, for which I also have the certificate (this is where I got Richard, her father's name from): 1849 marriage: John ARNOLD & Rebecca FEREDAY @ St Thomas, Dudley; (registers at) Dudley; (reference) 204/009/459 On FreeBMD deaths: March Q 1842, Richard FEREDAY, Dudley, vol. 18, page 295 September Q 1843, Richard FEREDAY, Dudley, vol. 18, page 199 September Q 1846, Richard Thomas FEREDAY, Dudley, vol. 18, page 202 I don't know how to be sure which death is for the correct Richard. The certificate may tell, it may not? I'm not sure what my next plan of attack is. Thanks again for your help. Kind regards, Malcolm Carr (Christchurch, New Zealand)
