I have a copy of my grandparents marriage on 26th Dec. 1921.
He lived at 55 Taylors Lane - Rounds Green - Oldbury - Worcestershire. This is as far as l have got, cannot find who lived with him, or who is mother was. His father was a John Wm Barnett who he was named after.

Any help in this research would be greatly appreciated.

Hi rootgatherer, Did not expect such an early reply.

He was 25years old, and a '' polisher '' by profession.
His father is down as a miner

You said you were confused with some of the locations?

I personally do not think the census Jansmith gave you is anything to do with your family if thats what you mean?

Thanks from Raindrops

I would like to say a big ''Thank You'' to the following members :-

Rootgather - Jansmith - jax - Ann of Green Gables and Mary B

for their time and effort they have put into finding information on my Grandad Barnett. I shall go through it and sort it into some sort of order. Along the line l should think these Barnett's are related to each other, looking at the dates one may be my grt grt grandad. The locations on some - l'm a little confused.

Once again thank you all and God Bless
