TAFT and HALE family of Coseley?
Sandra Parkinson writes:
I'm looking for information on Henry Taft who married Eliza Hale in 1843 at The Collegiate Church, Wolverhampton.
I know they had at least 3 children these being Sarah, John and Susannah all born between 1845) and 1849 in Yew Tree Lane, Coseley (two of the birth certificates state Yew Tree House, Coseley).
Eliza Hale's family lived Yew Tree Lane and there is evidence of them there right the way through the census's until 1871. Henry's family is a mystery the only thing I know is his father was John a farmer.
Henry was a furnaceman and lost his life to a burning accident in 1857 age 35. I can find no trace of Eliza Taft after this time.
Sarah Taft had a child at the age of 18 and was living in Sedgley Union Workhouse at the time. I am having difficulty tracing John Taft at the moment and Susannah never married. I would be grateful to receive any information on the Tafts or Hales of Coseley from early 1800s onwards.
