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)

Hi there,
Have you come across a Horton family??
I have done very little on my tree branch as yet, but do know I have a lot of Hortons from the Bilston area who left for work in the mills around Haslingden, Lancs around the 1850 (I think)-poss originally iron workers, in nail factory???--this I think-the shift to mill towns-was a common occurence for Bilston folk- there are a lot on the Lancs census.

[DudleyWinchurch]

Sorry Alunno-a,

No Hortons in my transcriptions but will look our for them next time I go through all the images.

A few more family names I definitely have some, information on:
Titley, Wilson, Brown, Goodreid, Lambert, Lees, Woodall, Lewis, Pearsall, Green, Cox (two different families), Davies, King, Fisher, Mottram, Lawton

All had someone who married members of my Bilston families, so related by marriage.

Hello


I have been told my grandfather James Jones came from the Black Country I have no idea where and when he was born. My mother was born 1918 and she was one of the youngest so far I am not sure where and when James Jones and my grandmother Rose Pearsall married.

Hi Pam,

My great-grandfather's brother, William Dudley married Nancy Pearsall at Holy Trinity Church in December 1880. Unfortunately Nancy died the following year and I haven't yet traced her family.

There were lots of Jones families in Bilston during the 19th century

from FREEBMD

Marriages Dec 1902   (>99%)
~~~~~~~~
 
Jones  James    Aston  6d 433   
Pearsall  Rose Anna G     Aston  6d 433   
SHIPLEY  Edward William     Aston  6d 433   
Tandy  Effie     Aston  6d 433   

Could these be your Grandparents?  I think that Aston is now a district of Birmingham but it is also not far from Bilston and I have family who later moved to Aston.

Hello

Thank you for your prompt reply.

I do have that certificate  saya James age 21 father Edward and Rose age 19 father Samuel  but on the birth certificates I have the mother is only Rose nee Pearsall.  My mother died at 54 before I was interested in Genealogy  and also my father.

On the marriage certificate of my mother Edith in 1945 she was 26 it says father deceased. We did not seem to have much to do with Rose something to do with my father he did not allow it. 

I cannot prove that these are the correct grandparents.

If I was in Birmingham I would be at the library  searching the voters lists .

I know they were in Berkeley road before the war and that James was a gas foreman.

Just found that according to NA site, there is a Rose Pearsall aged 17, living in Aston, who is an Iron Nail Rivetter?

There don't seem to be any other Pearsalls on the same census sheet.

If she was 17 at the beginning of 1901, she could well have been 19 at the end of 1902!

In 1891, what appears to be that same Rose, was already in Aston, on the same census page as a Samuel born about 1872, in Cheshire.

Maybe someone with full access to Ancestry  can give you the complete details.
