Title: James CLAY Died Stourbridge 1846.
Post by: Katessanna on Saturday 02 February 08 00:42 GMT (UK)

Dear grlune
I'm trying to find more information to get me a little further back on my family tree.  James Clay died Catherwell, Stourbridge on 1st April 1846, aged 68.  A plumber and glazier by trade.  On 1841 census he was living alone at Bell Lane, Old Swinford.  I think his wife must have predeceased him, and his son was working in Astley.....so I have very little to go on.  Any chance of an MI?
Thanks
Katessanna

Hi Katessanna

don't know if you've seen these baptisms on IGI, could be children of your James?

Sarah CLAY - 16 OCT 1808 at Oldswinford
John CLAY - 10 APR 1814 at Oldswinford

parents James and Sarah.

Oldswinford is on outskirts of Stourbridge.

Good luck with your research.

Thanks for the replies: however, the only census data I have from 1841 says that he was not born in Worcestershire; likewise he did have a son called John, but he was according to the 1851 and 1861 census born in London in about 1812.
Thanks for looking though.
