This could be his birth registration as both Stourport and Bewdley would come under Kidderminster.

I don't know what I'm saying!!! Just wondering if Jane had maybe been married before and William and Henry weren't Browns. The ages and birthplaces for Jane and the boys are spot on.

Fanny Drew was a servant.

How did you come up with Meredith,by the way??

I'll let some of the others mull this over as I think I have blinders on now.
