Many thanks Sue

This raises another problem on this tree:  Family Search shows a marriage for the same names (Hern) on the same date in Wombourne!

Back to the drawing board....

Hi Cati,

Thank you for your reply, I realised afterwards that m post should have been addressed to giraffe instead. Thank you so much for the additional information though, I know Albert (my G granfather) was married before Dorothy, it states on thei marriage certificate that he was widowed. The year I was aware of but the wife's name I was unsure of, thank you the lead might help

Cati,

I noticed that you had Cox also as your interest. Perhaps we might have a link somewhere, Dorothy married Arthur Cox after Albert Hartland died. Arthur and Dorothy had only one daughter Joan.

Hi Pyrennean

My only Arthur Cox (so far) was grandad, who wasn't married twice:  my Cox line come from Stafford and before then from Devon.  Some of them were baptised with the surmane 'Dominy', but that's another story...

Hi Cati

My great grandfather is Albert Henry Hartland, married twice. Second wife was Dorothy Edith White, my grandfather Claude Charles Hartland (89 this year) was their son. Albert died young (40), brother was Vincent, wife Maude, attended Albert and Dorothy's wedding, witnessed on the marriage certificate. Albert and Vincent's father was John, profession was Engine fitter.

It seems we may have a link here, my great uncle was Vincent Hartland b.1897 Wolverhampton , married 1927 to Maude Mary Johnson b 1896, youngest sister of my maternal grandfather David Richmond Johnson. I will pm you if you want more details, but I have more details of the Johnson family than the Hartlands.

Cati,
My Hartland/Johnson family were strong Methodists, they lived in Penn, Wolverhampton, which I think borders on Wombourne, if that is any help,
