I wonder.But marjorie who marries John E W foden-barnes is born chester.I wonder if John W E Foden-Barnes' wife is related to the Mr S Pitchford in the clipping in post #207.
From newspaper cutting, Bull's Head Landlord was a W G Foden, so we should be looking for a W.George Foden in Shenstone 1901 to 1911.William George, son of William F 1830 and Eliza Horton 1824 seems a fit.From 1901 and 1911 William G Foden is at Bull's Head, Occupation Farmer and Lic Vict.There's a George Frederick Foden b1862 Perry Barr listed in the Shenstone parish (possibly Stonall) in 1901 & 1911 with family. He is listed as a farmer.

1911 own account, Gainsborough Hill Farm.There's a George Frederick Foden b1862 Perry Barr listed in the Shenstone parish (possibly Stonall) in 1901 & 1911 with family. He is listed as a farmer.
On the Naval record at the bottom, it gives his name + "Jew". So it probably ties in with his family being in the gemstone business and why he went to S.A.The Marriage of Harry Spencer to Emma E Williams 31 Oct 1878.ie The first time around.Note father and son's occupation is Lapidary.I guess these skills were in demand out in South Africa.
Yes you're right, I mixed them both up and the fact that Birmingham had a jewellery quarter didn't it ?Are you mixing up 2 people?I posted the naval Record of John Foden-Barnes and the Marriage of Harry Spencer.
Afraid I don't know much about the Lawrence family, if they took over other farms, ref #226, after 1911 Blakelands farm. They don't seem be connected to Charles Lawrence born 1870 (in Notts) the school teacher who married Margaret Foden.Hi what is a lapidary,is charles lawrence the family that took over a few of the farms.
Of Charles and Eliza’s three daughters, two married the same farmer called John William Pickering of Brockhurst Farm in Hints, near Tamworth, Sutton Coldfield. Mary had died in 1908, John Pickering then took her sister Jane as his second wife in 1911*.
Just as the Cutlers and Fodens had previously intermarried, in the same way Charles Foden gave daughters to the Pickering family, and sons to the wealthy Wells family.......
Sorry I can't help much with the Pickerings (and threw out all "non usefull" records during the lockdown Agh!) This is all I have left:I knew a John and Mary Pickering in the 1940s and 1950s. They farmed somewhere near Queslett Road, not far from the Chester Road. Likely to be the next generation on from the John William Pickering of Hints....

1881Emma Spencer is in household of William Hy Williams in Handsworth.Can anybody help me with finding John Foden's wife, Emma Elizabeth Williams, (Born 1859), in the 1871 and 1881?I see from her Marriage to Harry Spencer on 31 Oct 1878 that her Father was a William Williams an Electro-Plater.In the 1861 at 28 Curzon Street, Emma is 2, head William is 27, a Silver Plater would seem to be a match.However, I struggle to find her again in censuses until 1891.
Also, I note that in the 1911 at The Parson and Clerk, Streetly.Emma Elizabeth Barnes(same Woman)has a Nephew William Williams 24, Born Birmingham.Who is Emma's sibling that is this William's Parent?
He's her father, who is manager of the pub. Check on Findmypast; 1881 census can be seen.I see that 1881 at the Boar's Head.Is William Henry Williams Emma's Brother?Who owns the pub?
