Hmmmm.....you'll have to excuse me for not thinking of that.....I've only been doing genealogy for 18 months or so.

Sorry.

I'm now curious............where are they in 1841

Don't see Dinnah/Dianah/Diana anywhere...........see a few George's but look to be too young? ............ have they died?

Thank you very much, Tids54 for your efforts at the records office and Bryant for all your comments and information!

I have a Diana Onions buried August 25, 1832 at age 36, St.Leonard's, Bilston, Staffordshire.

George and Diana had a daughter Mary born in 1832, Bilston.  Died in childbirth?

I don't know what happened to George.

The other children I know of (all born in Bilston):

Sarah b. 1815
Mary Ann b. 1820
William b. 1821
James b. 1824
Anne b. 1826

Regards, Susan

Thank you,  alli.  That does look like the children!! You are probably right that George remarried , then died.  I haven't been able to find the marriage or death to confirm this yet.

I found a burial for a George Onions that I think was probably not him.  This George Onions was buried August 19, 1832, age 41, at Bilston, Swan Bank Wesleyan Methodist.  That was the week before Diana was buried but she was buried at St. Leonards, Bilston.

I suppose Mary may also have been a spinster aunt.

I don't know if you have already found the answer to your queries but George and Diana Onions (both aged 36) are listed among the Bilston Cholera epidemic victims as well as other relatives.  The document listing the victims can be found on the Wolverhampton archives webite and contains notes about the relationships among various victims.

Because so many people died in such a short time there doesn't seem to have been any choice of burial site from other records of the time (there is quite a lot on the archive website), burials were a continuous process and had to be done as quickly as possible.

Hi DudleyWinchurch,

I hadn't found the answer yet of what had happened to George Onions.

Thank you very much for your posting and for solving the mystery!!

Glad to have been of help. 

I'm relatively new to all this but had discovered that my G-Grandmother Lucy had had a brother she never knew who had died in the epidemic so  I had been reading up on all the articles I came across.

I was just looking for more information on life in Bilston when I came across your posting and it seemed to make sense in the light of the epidemic so I rechecked the victims list and found them. Most of my paternal ancestors seem to have lived in Bilston through most of the 19th Century.

Is anyone able to reproduce this list of Cholera deaths from the Wolverhampton Archives website? Whenever I try to go there it comes up page not found.

Thanks
