Hi Martin Nearly passed over your email and suddenly realised that two marriages away from my ancestors other lines was a Dedicoat. Elizabeth DEDICOAT born about 1812. I don't know where she was born, but was married in Yardley; and lived and died in Kings Norton. She married Isaac CLULEE in 1832 in Yardley. Did you know that if you put Weatheroak Hill into Google and go to the IMAGES section there is a picture of the pub.
