funny side? I'm going back tonight under the cover of darkness with a pick axe!!! Linda :)

glad you could see the funny side

Val, I'm getting very tempted to! the other stone says also our parents interred near by, there are 2 graves close with stone like coffins on them but no names I wonder?!?!? Sue I have marriage details for Ann to Samuel Samuel Morgan 1849 Oct-Nov-Dec Lichfield Staffordshire Ann Venables 1849 Oct-Nov-Dec Lichfield Staffordshire which links Ann to Nancy but nothing for Sarah Linda

On one head stone it has the inscription In Memory of NANCY VENABLES who died March 24th 1861 aged 76 years.she was interred at the Olbury Cemetery (despite searching the whole cemetery today unable to locate a stone) 1841 census Ann Venables abt 1831 Staffordshire, England West Bromwich Staffordshire Jane Venables abt 1826 Staffordshire, England West Bromwich Staffordshire Nancy Venables abt 1791 Staffordshire, England West Bromwich Staffordshire Thomas Venables abt 1821 Staffordshire, England West Bromwich Staffordshire 1851 Name: Nancy Venables Age: 66 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1785 Relation: Visitor Gender: Female Where born: Gornal, Staffordshire, England Civil parish: Oldbury Ecclesiastical parish: Langley County/Island: Worcestershire Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Disability: View image Registration district: West Bromwich Sub-registration district: Handsworth ED, institution, or vessel: 3i Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 58 Household Members: Name Age Frederick Chattam 20 James Chattam 14 Samuel Chattam 50 Ann Morgan 24 (this is the Ann in the 1841 now married) Eliza Morgan 9 Mo Samuel Morgan 24 Nancy Venables 66 So that makes Nancy ELIZA MORGANS grandmother, 1861 census (Eliza is an orphan) Name: Eliza Morgan Age: 10 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1851 Relation: Niece Gender: Female Where born: Oldbury, Worcestershire, England Civil parish: Oldbury Ecclesiastical parish: Langley County/Island: Staffordshire Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: View image Registration district: West Bromwich Sub-registration district: Oldbury ED, institution, or vessel: 15 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 182 Household Members: Name Age George Moore 2 Hannah Moore 24 Eliza Morgan 10 Charles Wood 13 Daniel Wood 11 Enoch Wood 5 George Wood 53 Mary Wood 13 Nancy Wood 19 Peter Wood 9 Samuel Wood 7 Sarah Wood 49 Sarah Wood 15 Thomas Wood 21 William Wood 17 So Eliza is George and Sarah's niece,as well as Nancy's grand daughter, so how do I find the link between the Wood family and Nancy? thanks Linda
