    Apologies if that has been mentioned, James and Eliza are living with Eliza's mother in 1841, address given on transcript is Horse Fair.

    James Hall gunmaker

    James Hall married Eliza Sparrye at St Mary's, Handsworth 11 Apr 1841. Appears to be reg. Jun qtr 1841 West Brom. It looks like the page references don't match on feeBMD.

    On the 1939 Register she is living with her widowed father at 91 Mary St. Elsie (dob 14 Nov 1895) never married and died in 1974.

    Irving Street

    Parents (Thomas & Ellen) are listed at that address on the 1920 ER and I assume Elsie was there also. 1921 census lists all 3 there.

    Not sure what that implies. Does that mean that Edward and Walter were sons of William rather than Albert and that Emma had left Albert before he died? If so why put year of 'marriage' as 1909 instead of 1905ish. And if they actually were Albert's why list 2 and 1 for children. If they...

    A couple of things. I can't see a marriage for Emma and William. 1911 census gives a marriage date of 1909. Edward (1905) and Walter (1907) would appear to be the sons of Emma and Albert, both reg. as Jenkins/Webb.

    It seems to be the Albert that died in 1907 in Handsworth. There are 4 Jenkins/Webb children reg. before Albert's death. Harold, as mentioned, Alice May, Edward and Walter Oswald. The 2 other boys died young as well but Alice May seems to have married a Charles Weaver. OP also posted a message...

    Well done, that proves Albert died in 1908 Handsworth and not in Kent. So is the OP's interest this Albert or the one who died in Kent?

    There's a death reg. for an Albert Edward Jenkins Mar 1908 West Brom. Age is 43 (birth Sep 1864), so a possible. Burial gives an address as 107 Birchfield Road.
