Lye Waste

[mrswoman]

Try getting hold of a copy of 'A Brief History of Lye and Wollescote' written by Don Cochrane, he is descended from the Lye Bingham family, the book is fascinating, all you ever want to know about Lye, contains some family trees.  HTH from mrswoman.

Lye Waste is just south of Lye Town Centre in the Stourbridge part of Dudley.  Dudley Borough Council (dudley.gov.uk) has 3 free old maps the ones for 1750 and 1835 show Lye Waste.  Hope this helps.

Hi kd
my mother-in-law's grandmothers family is Taylor from Lye
I wonder if any connections?

Also two good books are
Lye & Wollescote- A Second Selection (Britain in Old Photographs series)
and
Lye & Wollescote - The Photographic Collection
both books by Pat Dunn
alittle tip to see if your surnames crop up in these books is to go to Amazon.co.uk and enter book title scroll down page and there is a part that says 'Inside this Book' enter your surname then a list appears. I have tried your surnames for that area and afew came up so might be worth checking to see if a match, if there is I could check in my copy of books for you for full details.

Hello
Thank you for the replies.
I have Catherine Taylor born 9 Oct 1889 who married Arthur Coleman on 13 Dec 1908.Catherines parents were John William Taylor born about 1864 and Annie Hart born about 1866 who married on 5 Nov 1885 they had children Fred Arthur Alice Joseph and Catherine.
The only information i have for John William is that his father was also John and his mother was possibly Mary Ann.

I have Mary Ann REA b 1877 from there daughter of Job and Martha Rea let me know if you trip over her during your reseach please. Also my Great Grand father married in Old Swinford in 1873 giving hid occupation as brickyard lab. from Lye He wasn't there long, in 1871 he was in Claines and  his first three daughters were born in Hagley. By 1876 they were in Austry but just incase (you know how inaccurate census information can be) does anyone know if there were any children of Edward and Susan MARSHALL among the Lye records?
