Hi Shelley family History
James Wagstaff and Mary Curry/Cory where my 3 X great grandparents I come down from thier daughter Ann Wagstaff who married George Savage and thier daughter Elizabeth married George Yarnall my great grandfather who lived in Toll end Road on the 1881 census.
There is another connection not a blood line though through the marriage of John Wright to Annie George nee Nixon at St Gabriels Church Birmingham 03/11/1907 Annie's Daughter Pheobe Ann George Married James Yarnall son of George  Yarnall (above)
On the 1911 census John Wright is Wharfinger for Fellows Morton and Clayton Canal Carriers at Fazeley Street Deritend Birmingham.Most of my family worked for FMC at one time or another from the start of the company at Tipton in 1837 by James Fellows through to when they finished in 1848

Hello
I am new to this site Ellen Bailey daughter of Joseph Bailey was my Great Grandmother. She died on the 4th of May 1901 on a canal boat at Kingswood Rowington Warwickshire. I haven't found her burial yet. I have never found a marriage certificate for Richard Humphries to Ellen Bailey or under the name of Ellen Theobald. As her first Husband Henry Theobald was still alive he did'nt die till 1943.
My grandmother Mary Jane Theobald known as Humphries married my Grand father William Yarnall at Daventry Register Office in 1902 under the name of Humphires and gave Richard Humphries as her father.
Richard and Ellen are on the 1901 census RG13 /2734 folio 115 page 33 Tipton Green Staffordshire.
Richard Humphries re-married on 19/12/1904 at St Mary's church Paddington Middlesex to Charlotte Terry who was previously married to Charles Worrall.
I believe that Richard was the son of Richard Humphries and Caroline Fairclough who married at St Boniface church Bunbury Cheshire. This Richard was baptised 17/10/1830 at Whittington Shropshire. On Richard and Charlottes Marriage at Paddington he states his fathers name to be Richard and a boatman. Also on Caroline's death certificate 04/04/1874 Husband Richard senior staes he is a Boatmen.
Richard could have been born at Cefn which is on the Llangollen canal which I belive they worked at that time.
