I'm looking for a Horton(widow)/Poole marriage.... nothing turned up yet :-( if only my grandfather knew all this!!! he would turn in his grave!.....lol

Emma Pool Walsall March 1868 6b 637

Linda everything I have on her so far has been reg. district...'Wolverhampton'

I've had a look for John Poole's death but can't see anything, will have a look for the poole kids nowadays short heath is in willenhall so might come under Wolverhampton rather than Walsall. Just a thought

Perhaps James Parkes was her step-father or perhaps her real father but parents didn't marry.... Heather

Thanks for your time girls :-)) I think I'll start another thread asking for help looking for birth of Poole kids or marriage of matilda and john Poole or even the death of John Poole. Flippin woman!! Gggrrr Love her really lol Gerri x

Yes kath I already have that. Either young Abel or chas (cant remember which one right now) was also lodging with his great Uncle later on too! What a flippin muddle!

Oops yes your right Heather...sorry will amend it....

I think her maiden name was Powell. On the 1871 census Matilda's birthplace is given as Wednesbury, so I did a search of the 1851 census just using Matilda's first name and putting Wednesbury in the keywords box. There was no Matilda Poole, but there was this:- Able Fletcher abt 1791 Willenhall, Staffordshire, England Head Willenhall Staffordshire Mary Fletcher abt 1791 Bam Thelers, Staffordshire, England Wife Willenhall Staffordshire Joseph Person abt 1837 Atherstone, Staffordshire, England Apprentice Willenhall Staffordshire >>>Matilda Powell abt 1838 Wednesbury, Staffordshire, England Niece Willenhall Staffordshire Will Veale abt 1832 Shareshill, Staffordshire, England Apprentice Willenhall Staffordshire Thos Vichers abt 1834 Shareshill, Staffordshire, England Apprentice Willenhall Staffordshire As your Matilda had a son called Able, he could have been named after this uncle that Matilda Powell is living with. Kath. x

What I think I need is the Poole childrens births... John Poole son.c1859. key filer Emma Poole. c1867 Sarah a Poole. c1869 Mary j Poole. c1880. All born short heath Walsall I cant find em anywhere!

Gerri, Isn't she a widow in 1881? Heather
