Does look like Caster on image - occupation of miner

Yes he was a publican,
I will try the marriage Manwaring Nancy Birmingham 16 549 that is the only glimmer i have yet maybe they where living in a pub in the area at the time that would be why they married there??

Mary

Not sure if this will help you to help me :-)

His parents John and Ann died in 1839 and 1840 so I cannot find him through his parents I think I have just found his death 1882 in Staffordshire age fits (61) I also found one for a Nancy in 1907 but age way out I'm not sure if they had any children

Mary

It does look like Caster on the 1841

Mary

I think i have found Abraham on the 1851 census his name is shortened to Abm he is living with the Baker's another branch of my tree so the Marriage Mike found for 1850 is not the one I'm after

Also I have checked on the www.resourcesforlife.com/library/names/feminine and it says Nancy is Originally a form of Ann any ideas ?? maybe I should be looking for Ann but then even with cert how will I sure it's the correct one

there is an Abraham Carter living in Bilston St, Cinderhill Sedgely in the 1851 poll book.

can anyone with FMP look up by address please

Not seeing him there Ann ......

ah well - - presumably the poll books did not always match in time

Hello,

I did find him on FMP his on as Abm Carter living with the Bker family

they have the address as Parkhouse Lane, Sedgley, Wolverhampton Staffordshire

It should be Darkhouse lane which is Coseley, Sedgley

Mary :-D

The will was interesting to read I never think to look for wills

Thank you
