Mellie" Hi Mellie & Wanda, I also have some FEREDAY's in my family tree. My great grandfather, Henry Francis ARNOLD's mother Esther (nee WHILE) died 07 January 1847 @ Low Green, Tipton. when he was less than 2 years old. His father, John ARNOLD, widower 30 yrs, remarried to Rebecca FEREDAY, spinster 24 yrs, on 23 December 1849 @ The Parish Church, Dudley, Worcestershire. On their marriage cert, the fathers are recorded as Isaac ARNOLD (engineer) & Richard FEREDAY, deceased (miner). In 1851 census, John & Rebecca ARNOLD (both born Sedgely, Staffordshire) were living in Waterloo St, Tipton. (1851 Staffordshire Census - HO107/2029 Registration District: Dudley, Sub-Registration District: Tipton, Enumeration District: 1f, Folio 188, Page 39) In 1861 John & Rebecca ARNOLD were living in High St, Tipton, with Henry Francis 15, plus 3 children of their's, Eliza 9, Samuel 4 & Elizabeth 2. (1861 Staffordshire Census - RG9/2041 Registration District: Dudley, Sub-Registration District: Tipton, Enumeration District: 3, Folio 59, Page 5) I wonder if Richard FEREDAY & his daughter Rebecca are related to any of your FEREDAY's? Kind regards, Malcolm Carr (Christchurch, New Zealand) .
