Member Since: January 2005 Posts: 0 Send Message	Can anyone out there help me to get over or get round a brick wall? I have in my family tree brother and sister John Thomas and Emily Jane Howells, both supposedly born in Bilston, Staffordshire, John in 1862, Emily Jane in 1863. On John's Marriage certificate (to Elizabeth Tamroun in 1880) his father is recorded as John Howells, deceased, engine driver. On Emily's (to Robert Ross in 1882) he is down as engineman. I can find no record of his death, his wife, or their birth details. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
