In 1851 the family is living in Bromsgove, but Ancestry has their surname mis-transcribed as 'Smith' which is the family above them on the census return Search for Catherine Smith b 1794 and type Halesowen in the keyword box and you will find the 1851 entry. No sign of 1861 as yet. PS Thomas Stow is with them in 1851 as well

Type you intial request...a few words maybe ...and add the guts of the info as FIRST REPLY..it always goes jumbly in the first white box

Thanks Ann Didn't realise that - I'll do that it future, Cheers Clare

Even understanding better what to look for , i cant see them at the moment! where did the chap die?

RG9; Piece: 2116; Folio: 60; Page: 10; GSU roll: 542920. will get you into Warden pool, Clent Its all a bit squiggly , you could flick betwee the pages and at least eliminate 'there' maybe- not many pages

Thanks all I've found him Listed as Joseph Thora Lees on image Jephthah Lees, servant, widower, age 59, ? carter - can't read occupation, born Belbroughton At least I know Catherine had died now Cheers Clare
