Thanks for that Manchester Rambler, now I'm even more confused ???

Another look has me pretty convinced they are the wrong one's, as I have Benjamin as born in 1870.

The 1845 marriage is on the IGI and was 2.3.1845 at Stoke Prior.  As that is where William & Elizabeth are living in 1851 - I think it's the right marriage

There are 2 different people called Benjamin HOLLIS - one born c1842 and one born c1870, but William TOLLEY (b. c1822 Upton) seems to be the same person on all censuses - ?  

Louisa TOLLEY on the 1861 census seems to match ELLEN L in 1871, and Sarah TOLLEY on the 1861 census matches Sarah L in 1871.

Willaim TOLLEY is living in Eagle Lane, Tipton in 1861, Eagle St, Tipton in 1871, and Eagle Passage, Tipton in 1881.

Utterly confusing, using the UKBMD link (thanks Carole) I have located a couple of people who should guide me in the right direction.  Looks like a trip to Sandwell reg's office very soon.

Oh, just found a marriage between William Tolley and Emma Hollis in 1875.

Seems like a bit of a ladies man my GGGfather.

Something strange here

Per freebmd

Marriages March qtr 1875 
Emma Hollis    Dudley  6c 169   
William Tolley     Dudley  6c 169

www.westmidlandsbmd.org.uk shows it was at Tipton, St Martin (Pepper Box)

I think this is the death of first wife Elizabeth

Deaths September qtr 1868

That's what I've been thinking.  But who was the other kids mother(s)? bit of a rascal if you ask me.  His birth registration has him as Tolley so I'm guessing William was the father, although on the census he appears as Hollis.
