Hi there, I have just returned to this list following on the trail of family jumping from County to County around 1861! Just received the birth certificate of a fatherless Charles Whitby born to Phoebe Whitby on 3rd May 1857 at Sedgley in Stafford. In 1860 I believe this unwed mum was married at Saint Thomas Dudley, Worc to a John Rogers. Now information I have been given is that if they then settled in this area then the St Thomas area of Dudley is nearer Netherton, and if so, this would be part of Dudley Worc, not Dudley Stfs. So is that enough info for a shot in the dark or rummage through the hay? Looking for a 3-4 year old Charles ROGERS (WHITBY) with mother Phoebe and father John in that area in the 1861 census. Can anyone help? they are definitely not in the area where little Charles was born. Your help would be greatly appreciated Bob in Brisbane
