Hi everyone, I'm new to this list and would like to hear from anyone who may have an interest in the PARTRIDGE or STANTON families from Stourbridge. I'm helping my elderly neighbour research his family. My own family research is mainly in London and Suffolk so I'm new to researching in this part of the country. John PARTRIDGE was born around 1794 in Stourbridge. He married an Ann and had 2 children that I know of. John PARTRIDGE was born around 1836, also in Stourbridge. He married Sarah JORDAN in 1856 in Old Swinford, Stourbridge. They had 9 children, the eldest - Alice Mary was born around 1857 in Stourbridge. She married John STANTON in 1878. John was also born in Stourbridge around 1856. His parents are Edward and Ann/Honour STANTON. I believe they were born in Ireland. All their children were born in Stourbridge so I'm presuming they immigrated after their marriage or they immigrated seperately and married in England. The STANTON's were living in Round Court, Stourbridge in 1861, New Street in 1871 and Wheeler Street in 1881. The PARTRIDGE's were living in Park Street West, Stourbridge in 1861, Wheeler Street in 71 and 81 and were at High Street, Wollaston in 1891. I've not seen the 1841 or 51 census. I would love to hear from anyone with an interest in these families. Cheers, Alison Baker Melbourne, Australia.
