Bham Daily Post 22 Feb 1957... "The manager of a clothing shop in The Precinct, Coventry invented an employee and paid him several sums of money which he kept himself, it was alleged at Coventry yesterday. Gordon George Davis (32) of Meriden Drive, Kingshurst Birmingham, was committed on bail...

Marriage to Leah Hodgetts appears correct. Leah's parents are listed at 82 Anglesey St on the ERs where Ernest & Leah are listed until at least 1962.

The John Grace with them in 1939 is their nephew, the son of Ernest's sister (also called) Leah. He was born a number of years before his parents married. Surname also listed as Hodgkisson and his 2 brothers appear to be always be listed as such.

He definitely didn't marry Lilian Eyre, that was a different Ernest Hodgkinson. Possibly married Leah Hodgetts in 1915.

I think that's them, Was Ernest married (1910) previously? To a Minnie Webb (died 1911). Lily's are not usually known as Leah.

I think it says Silver Birch backwards.

Never give up, you never know when things will fall into place.

I'm sorry if I appear to be bludgeoning things a little but you appear to be jumping to conclusions based on other people's faulty research. For certain you know that your ancestor was Emma Smith who married Samuel Price. From that point onwards you seem to be looking at other people's trees...

There are two Elizabeth Morgans whom married a Charles Smith. Neither had a daughter called Emma. Do you have the marriage certificate of Samuel Price and Emma Smith? You can have no dna match to Elizabeth Morgan only her descendants. If your dna match has incorrectly listed their ancestor as...

Charles and family are living in Moland St in 1841. Names of some his siblings share the same name as some of his children. His father's birthplace is listed as Warwickshire but in 1851 it is Monmouthshire. And as it is in 1861 & 1871 it would appear it is.

There is a baptism for an Elizabeth Manners, parents William & Jane. If this is her not sure why her father's not listed on the marriage. Elizabeth is a widow with Samuel and Emma in 1891.

Great photo.

Right I think I may have made some sense of things. Firstly I think you are interested in Emma Jane Smith who married a Samuel Price, them being the parents of William Kirby Price. If this is incorrect then ignore everything else. Why do you think that Emma's mother was an Elizabeth Ann...

And they had 2 surviving children - John Charles b1860 who married an Alice Drew and Alice Lavinia b1862 who possibly married twice (bigamously?) to Henry Tomlinson & Isaac Wadman.
