Worcestershire / Re: Henry Guest - Netherton Hall - c.1862

I'm not looking into the Guest I'm looking into the Foley estate.
I was commenting on the clear lack of sources for the Guest Family which could be achieved even in 2009. Yes GRO is a nice addition to research but there are no reason Parker could not be identified and the marriage sourced with or without GRO. That would open the door to the search for baptisms of Samuel and his siblings given the correct step had been carried out to validate the next stage of research.
You say Henry is Samuel's brother but if the marriage to Parker is not sourced then the baptism are not sourced either. Henry the farmer could be confused with his father,brother cousin or not even related and that is exactly the point I was making.
Please view and follow the sources because people will latch onto any bit of information and think it is fact.
I will continue my research into the Netherton Estates of the Foley's (Robert Foley 1624-1676) because this fits into the history of the Hall.
Netherton Hall become Netherton Hall Farm in 1835 or so. The location of the moated manor house is visible on your map on the North side of Hall lane it was demolished between the 1860-1880 due to subsidence from mining. The outbuildings and dwellings or (Lower Barn) are on the south side of Hall Lane these are visible on O.S maps and aerial photograph from 1880 to 1963 and were demolished between 1963 and 1976.
