Hi Tom, Wish I had the answer for you, I don't know much about this at all...but I was curious about your Webb's......I am also researching Webb's in the Newchapel area. Emma Webb married Edwin Onions 1863...her father was Samuel, according to the LDS her mother was Mary? Most all of my husbands family was baptized at Newchapel Church.

Ruth I believe Grett's Green refers to Garratts Green in Birmingham, West Midlands. This would make sense as Rowley Regis is a parish on the outskirts of Birmingham. Hope this helps a little, Ray

Anyone following the surname Vickers. I'm trying to find family of Peter Vickers of Brook Street, Biddulph.. only child I know of is Elizabeth Ann born about 1866...she married George Jenkins in 1885 Parish of Biddulph. Any help on Vickers would be appreciated. Thanks Ruth, USA

My belated thanks to all those who replied to my request, I think I have thanked you all personally. Unfortunately, he apparently cannot be found on the 1861 census! Where was the blighter?? Thanks again, Keith

Hannah normally means Anne or Anna Fanny normally short for Frances. But anything is possible.

Fanny is most often the nickname for Frances. But Hannah/ Anna/ Anne are all basically the same name and sometimes interchangeable. I was known as Anne-Fan by some of my family as a child - so I guess it is possible!
