Does anyone on list have any Corbett's of Tipton or Dudley in their tree Ray
Ray, I'm not descended from any CORBETT, but I have one that married into my WHITEHOUSE line: Thomas CORBETT (son of Thomas CORBETT, Boatman) married Elizabeth WHITEHOUSE (daughter of Abraham WHITEHOUSE, Enginman) 7 January 1850 at Tipton Parish Church in the presence of Geo. WHITEHOUSE and Mary WHITEHOUSE (Elizabeth's brother and mother). 1851 Census Thomas (31, Labourer) and Elizabeth CORBETT (30, Nailer) were living with Elizabeth's mother at Lower Green, Tipton - no children 1861 Census At Lock Side, Tipton was Thomas (41, Boatman) and Elizabeth (41, Nailmaker) CORBETT with three children: Esther Ann (9), Hannah (6) and Lydia (4). They were preceeded on the schedule by Thomas CORBETT (Widower, 68, Watchman Furnaces) living alone and presumably the father. Next on schedule was the Woodman Inn, Lock Side. 1871 Census (I haven't looked for them on this census) 1881 Census At 20 New Cross St., Tipton was Thomas (60, Labourer) and Elizabeth (60) CORBETT with no children.
