Hi

Thank you.  looking at 1881 census Catherine Tallett (nee Ingram) living at Swan Street in 1881 with husband Joseph Tallett and children. Didn't move far.

Hi
   
Margaret Holmes christening 07 Sep 1817
SAINT BARTHOLOMEW,WEDNESBURY,STAFFORD,ENGLAND
fathers name Richard Holmes and mothers name Mary.

do you think this could be Mary Holmes who married Abraham Ingram. One census records does mention she was born Wednesbury?

[lizdb]

Highly possible.

But cant say for sure just seeing that in isolation. Often in families there are cousins etc with the same names born in the same place in the same era.
But if that is the ONLY Margaret Holmes in Wednesbury, then it must be her!

Have found a Martha Holmes  christening 11/11/1814 in Wednesbury with same parents on family search

If you look on FreeREG http://www.freereg.org.uk/cgi/Search.pl there is Abrahams marriage plus one of the childrens baptisms there is also a possible baptism for Abraham if he was born 1803

All the censuses point to a later birth for him. He is reasonably consistent with his age.
