Francis Hobbins and wife Elizabeth(Maiden name unknown)Walsall, Staffordshire

[jbnorris73]

I'm looking for any information on Francis Hobbins and his wife Elizabeth both possibly born in or near Walsall, Staffordshire before 1695. I am doing a Genealogy Angel good deed for someone who doesn't have access or experience to look up information on her ancestors. I have baptism dates for 3 children, and I don't know if there are any more than 3 as I cannot find any other information through FamilySearch or Ancestry.
William Hobbins bapt 11 Aug 1714 St Matthews Church, Walsall
John Hobbins bapt 16 Mar 1615 St Matthews Church, Walsall
Richard Hobbins bapt 15 Nov 1718 St Matthews Church, Walsall

I do know that William married and then died in Ebrington, Gloucestershire 21 Jun 1786.
Thank You's to anyone that can find a maiden name for Elizabeth, a marriage date for the couple or even a birth date and place for Francis Hobbins

I could only see baptisms for the same three sons that you have:
William 1714,
John 1715/16,
Richard 1718

There is a burial 24 Apr 1754 Walsall St Matthew
For a Francis HOBBINS
(no age recorded)


A possible marriage for John HOBBINS to Martha HARWOOD
29 Jan 1738/39 All Saints Allesley, Warwickshire

[Neale1961]

Are you sure you have the correct marriage for William HOBBINS?

This one seems more probable ………
William HOBBINS marriage to Mary DOWNS
1st Jan 1735/36 West Bromwich All Saints
