Have a look at this one if you haven't already seen it Angela ..

1851 census:
HO107/2033; Folio: 558; Page: 12

Staffordshire, Dudley
Bowling Green

Sarah Willetts, head, wid, 53, 2/6 a week from Parish Nailors, b. Worcester, Halesowen
Jemima, Willetts, visitor, unm, 20, Nailor, b. Worcester, Dudley
Keziah Willetts, visitor, unm, 17, Nailor, b. Worcs, Dudley

Living on either side of this family were other families by the name of Willett. One has a daughter also called Keziah, age 11, born in Rowley Regis.

If you would also like their details .. this won't be a problem!

Kind regards,

Pels  :)

Here is the same family in 1841 .. but no George present sadly to say whether it is your family .. ..

1841 census:
HO107/1196/17; Folio: 35; Page: 11

Worcestershire, Dudley
Dudley Wood

Sarah Willetts, 45, Nailor
Isaac, 15, Nailor
Joram, 15, Nailor
Willett David, 13, Nailor
Jemima, 10, Nailor
Keziah, 8

All born in county with the exception of Sarah.

Keziah and Jemima have both been indexed as David but I feel sure their names are Willetts because the enumerator has put Willetts as the forename in the case of David and then ditto'd down.

I've just found this ..

Christening: 1830 Rowley Regis
Jemima Willetts
Parents: Thos and Sarah Willetts

It looks like the 1841/1851 census details are possibly the wrong ones!  :-\

pels  i am sure it is the 1851 census she in .In The Church of Latter Day Saints I found
Husband George willetts Know birth or anything else
Wife No name Nothing
Children Kezia Willetts 
and Husband  George Hender
Marriage 17 October 1853 St Edmund's Dudley, Worcester England
Father   George Willetts 
Mother No name
But the  george Hender Is the right Husband he would have been my GRT GRT Grt Grandfather
if i can only find the George  Willetts Marriage and see if it is a Sarah
kezia Died in 1863 September  she was 28 years old
and that's all i have

Everything I seem to find points to Keziah's parents being Thomas and Sarah?

On the IGI for St Thomas, Dudley

Christening: 28th June 1835
Keziah Willetts
Thomas & Sarah Willetts

Taking the IGI details and the information from the 1841/1851 census returns into account - Keziah and Jemima appear to be sisters?

But I'm wondering why they were classed as visitors in 1851 .. this is a puzzle?
