Diana: I've just re-read you message and noticed also the name MILWARD. My Eleanor STEVENTON, nee GREEN (born 1792 died 1832 aged 40) had a daughter Mary Ann STEVENTON. And Mary Ann married Samuel MILLWARD! Now, granted it's a few years after the time period you're looking at, but the occurrence of both GREEN and MILWARD in my family and yours seems quite a coincidence. And people did often marry cousins. Here's hoping you've an Abigail GREEN somewhere.

In 1766 a William Millward 'received an amount of Beef and Mutton at the Workhouse.' 1756 William Millward was a Church Warden The above shows that your family names have a long history throughout Halesowen's Past. Hope it is of some interest and help to you. Best Wishes from Linda.

Linda: Thanks for these. Certainly of interest, and I'm bound to be related to some of them. If only I knew which and how!
