Hi Everyone,

I am seeking information on Obadiah Mayer, b.1799 Uttoxeter, who married Jane Blood in 1821 (per IGE). Their family can be found in Spiceal Street Uttoxeter in censuses 1841 onwards (Obadiah was a ''dealer in earthenware'').

It seems likely that this Obadiah is linked in some way to the various Mayer families discussed on this thread, but to date I have been unable to uncover his parents.

Any help or information gratefully received.

Regards
WC

I think Obadiah's parents may have been John Mayer and Mary Palmer.  John was a brother to Elijah Mayer.  If this is correct and you can confirm I have a family tree for the Mayer family.
Best wishes
Maggie

I was going to suggest Maggie as she has loads on this but I see you have posted Maggie whilst I was typing!
Maggie- have you managed to get the info on a disc yet?
Hope you are well.
Kindest Regards,
Patricia

Hi Patricia and Maggie,

From your earlier posts, it looks like Obadiah son of John and Mary Palmer was born 1773, and married Elizabeth Turner of Newcastle in 1803. My Obadiah is born 1799, so maybe not linked?

Hi Bill - looked on Staffs BMD and births only go back to 1837 - am I missing something?  :-[

Thanks to all   :)

Hi ,
Looking at the age difference-could it be a son?
