I'd be more inclined to lean towards the one you found handm, as they were married in Alrewas, and their first child was born in Alrewas, the next 3 were born in Walsall.
Question - would obtaining the birth certificate for the first child born give the mothers maiden name? I cant remember when the mothers maiden name was no longer put on the birth certificate  :-\

Hi Sheila,
This must be another Mary Hartill as 'my' Mary Hartill was already married and living in Sheffield in 1891, aged 37.

No, I dont think so. Ann did have a sister Mary Hartill, but she married a Joseph Unwin of Derbyshire, and they moved to Sheffield.

I have not come across across anything yet. Thomas Hartill was brother to Ann Towns (nee Hartill), my gg grandmother. Will let you know if I come across anything.

Another list of names ...

Mary Ann Chillington - 1867
John McNully/MCNulty/McNolty? - 1868m 1889
Eliza Joyce - 1868
William Jones - 1870
John O'Brien - 1870
Bridget Taylor - 1870
Benjamin Shale - 1871, 1888
John Clarke - 1872
Mary Clynes - 1874
Matthew Ward - 1876
Francis Scally - 1877
Jane Clynes - 1877
Joseph Wright - 1880, 1881
Frances Wright - 1880
John Farrell - 1881
Johanna/Jane? Jones - 1881
Joseph and Elizabeth Corkindale - 1883 (related to Williams family?)
John Kelly - 1887
Thomas Hartill - 1887
Maria Parmer - 1887

Remember:
that dates are when they became godparents
first names are translated from Latin in many cases
family names also seem to have very variable spelling in that register

There are still more names and the ones I've listed here are just godparents to my family.  I also have records of baptisms of children of some of these people and some marriage details, so a lot more names too.  So do get in touch if your family were in Bilston at around that time (any time 19th or early 20th Centuries)

You have a Thomas Hartill listed here - I have a thomas Hartill in my family - born 1844 in Bilston.

Thankyou dudleywinchurch for your reply. Do you think then based on where they lived that the main Bilston Cemetery would be the most likely cemetery that they would have been buried in?
