Surname intrests in The Lye area

[vhdl15464]

It is in the area around Bagley Street, Yardley Street, and Lawrence Street which are off Birmingham Street/Stourbridge Road, Stambermill.

"Bouchall and Clatterbatch give the river a short rural setting, it is here that it passes under the ten arch Stambermill railway viaduct, a well-known Stourbridge landmark. The predecessor of this was built of wood, and on the Lye side of the present one the brick pillars that supported it are still in existence.

I have ancestors who lived there when they got married in 1867 - Thomas Cartwright and Mary Ann Wood.  It took me age to find out where it was as it's shown as Bowshell on their marriage certificate.  Strange thing is that I only live about 5 minutes walk from there!

Glad to have been of help

Hi Coffeeaddict
I have lots of Cartwrights in lye, including Sarah Cartwright who married Sargant Gauden in 1888. (isn't Sargent a wonderfully unusual forename!)

Hi Sarah ,

I was raised in the Lye and my paternal GMothers side appear to be well routed in the Lye .
Her maiden name was HOMER ( fathers name HENRY ) and I believe her mothers maiden name was GAUDEN ( first name PHEOBE ) --- can you throw any light on this link ?
I have found where my GR Gparents wre living in the mid to late 1800s and indeed where living from 1912(ish) --my father was born in the that house in 1915 .
I have sent for certificates of various marriages and birts very recently .
Await any help !
