Hi Roaslind146,

I've been searching for this website for 6 months and have just tracked this search down around James Wheeler, b.1811 in Halesowen.
The trail has gone dry for me. I spent a long time trying to get information on James's ancestry but pre-1811 there's a bit of a wall.
Just to confirm that my lineage (similar to yours)... my GGf was William Henry (b. 1880) youngest son of James (b. 1845), son of James Wheeler (b.1811 as above)>
And there the story stops... which is a real shame given the effort that has gone into everything so far!

Have you ruled out this bapt?

6 Mar 1808, St Thomas, Dudley
JAMES Wheeler to JOHN/MARY
(FreeREG)

There are several children bapt there to them including a LOUISA  29 May 1814
Father John is a Glass Maker on her bapt.

If they married Dudley there is this Marriage there 28 May 1787
John WHEELER/Mary CHERMAGE

With a bit of googling I can see Dudley is only a few miles from Halesowen.
