Hi Kal, Remember me I was the one with all the Barnacles. Thanks so much for all your work I have been on such a roll since then. Could you possibly help me out again with my grandmothers side. Am looking for any details for William Woolley b.1858 Berkwell, married to Mary Robbins in Stretton on Dunsmore. Think his fathers name might have been George. Thanks again Lin

Hi Kal Thank you very much for your help. It does look like the right person. I'm going to go back and look for his birth register again, maybe this time I'll get lucky! He married a lady called Sarah Clark, which must be one of the most common names at that time and so their marriage is proving very hard to find too. But at least one brick wall has come tumbling down. Thanks again Kindest regards Tracey.

Hi Kal Could you possibly look up Joseph Mallett for me. He should be around 17 in 1861. I know in 1881 he was a watchmaker and living in Far Gosford Street in the Holy Trinity area. From Family search website I believe that his parents may have been Thomas and Betsey Mallett, but since I cannot find the register of his birth I can't verify them as parents. The 1881 census shows his birthplace as Coventry. Any help really appreciated. Thanks Tracey

Kal Thanks a million. Do you think Edwin Johnson was playing away from home in 1861 and had two wives?!! This branch has been quite easy to follow as they stayed in the same place till at least 1901. However, I'm having more trouble tracking down John Johnson's cousin/siblings and the Willenhall birthplace on the 1851 census is the best clue yet. Can you tell me if the Webbs were still at Much Park Street in 1861. Regards Geraldine
