Thank you Georgina I must need glasses, so what happend to the kids that were with them on the 1861? surely they can't have all died? i don't want to look now :( Strange thing is looks like he called 2 daughters Patience

Thanks all. I've looked for a death of Phoebe and can't find one, I've tried to find the kids that are with Comfort on 1861 in the 1871 and can't find them grrrr families!

Linda I might stay awake for 10 mins so post away. Georgina.

my great great grandfather in 1871 Name: William Whitehouse Age: 44 Estimated birth year: abt 1827 Relation: Head Spouse's name: Caroline Gender: Male Where born: Tipton, Staffordshire, England Civil parish: Walsall Ecclesiastical parish: St Peter Town: Walsall County/Island: Staffordshire Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Disability: View image Registration district: Walsall Sub-registration district: Walsall ED, institution, or vessel: 18 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 163 Household Members: Name Age Mary Ann Powell 18 Selina Powell 10 Caroline Whitehouse 42 Patience Whitehouse 5 Sarah Ann Whitehouse 2 William Whitehouse 44 Patience and Sarah i have birth certs for and caroline is their mother. Powell girls are from Caroline first marriage. William and Caroline marriage cert (1868) says William is a widower so from 1861 I have a choice of 3 William Whitehouse Pheobe abt 1827 Tipton, Staffordshire, England Head Dudley Worcestershire William Whitehouse Comfort abt 1826 Tipton, Staffordshire, England Head Tipton Staffordshire William Whitehouse Charlotte abt 1826 Tipton, Staffordshire, England Head West Bromwich Staffordshire How Do I work out which one was his first wife? I'm tempted to go for Phoebe as there are no kids on the 1861 comfort has kids but can't find them on 1871 to rule her out Charlotte I don't think so, as they are west bormwuch but on his marriage cert he was still in Tipton in 1868

let me know and I will post details
