Staffordshire / Flavell or Flavill of Gornal and Sedgley
« on: Saturday 05 October 24 17:04 BST (UK) »
hello
I have been looking for the baptism of a Benjamin Flavill who married Esther Standley in Sedgley parish church in 1766. There seem to be a lot of Flavells in the Gornal area (Upper/Lower and Gornal Wood). In fact Benjamin and Esther lived at Over Gornal and Gornal Wood and a place called Rowarton at the time of their children's baptisms. I cannot locate a Rowarton anywhere and was wondering if this could possibly be a mistake for Ruiton. Benjamin was a nailer, a common trade in the Gornal area.
Any one have any connections please or know where I can access records that might answer this question?

Thank you Alan the map is really helpful. My West Midlands geographical knowledge is not good. I think it helps to explain why someone living in Highfields Sedgley might have their children baptised in Bilston St Leonard's as they were so close to the parish border.

thank you so much Ciderdrinker for the speedy reply. I think I will have to look for Baptist burial grounds, as you say.
I think that is her baptism. I haven't gone beyond her marriage to James Williams, as she was his second wife and I'm descended from the first.
James was the son of David and Hannah Williams, baptised in 1822 at Bilson St Leonard's, though they were living in Highfield, Sedgley. I've been trying to track their deaths and burials but so far no luck.
Once again thank you.

Staffordshire / Highfields Sedgley and Lanes Field 1800- 1850's

hello
I'm getting rather confused looking at maps trying to work out where Highfields Sedgley and Lanes Field were exactly. I have my ancestors David and Hannh Williams living in Highfields throughout the first two decades of the 19th century and then recorded in the 1841 census at Lane's Field. I'm rather confused that although they had eight children baptised at St Leonard's Bilston between 1800-1822 their abode was given as Highfields, Sedgley. Was there not a Sedgley parish church?
could anyone please tell me where i could source a map with the clear parish boundaries.
could someone please tell me if St Leonard's had burials after 1837 as all the records i can find are up to that year.

Hello
I'm trying to find out where someone living in Swan Street, Wolverhampton would have been buried in the 1890's. I think it might have been in St Matthews parish but I cannot find any entries for my Ellen Williams or James Williams who died circa 1865/67.
I'm wondering if they could have been Nonconformists as I cannot find baptisms for any of their children but they did marry in a C of E church in the 1856.
I should be grateful for any advice. I've checked all the indexed burials on the Wolverhampton History website but they are not there.
