Yes, not pleasant to read but you can’t filter what you find out, can you.I assume that if you are Ancestry you have found the criminal record.
i agree jan..over the past 12 years of researching my ancestry i have enjoyed uncovering little skeletons in the cupboard which i bet they never thought we would find out about many years later as we say...they can run but they cant hideNo - and I think half the fun of tracing back is wondering what our ancestors got up to. Good or bad.
Agree that baptism date for Charles son of Richard and Phoebe is 1 Mar 1818One slight error is that you have the DOB for Charles Newey as 23 Mar 1818. I think you may have mixed that date up with the Charles Newey son of Richard & Esther Newey, born Bham.
The DOB of your Charles Newey born Great Barr appears to be 1 Mar 1818.
Re: "1841 census ages over 15 were supposed to be rounded down to the nearest 5. "1841 census ages over 15 were supposed to be rounded down to the nearest 5. This makes it hard to place any reliance on the ages on it.
I would be more inclined to trust layer records.
Hello Janice and MWS,It's impossible to be completely certain but it seems highly likely.
Too many other details match for the slight age discrepancy on his second marriage to be significant.
Christopher is not a popular name at that time and for there to be two Richard Neweys sons of Christopher born around the same time seems unlikely. Baptism is 1791, which matches censuses and burial.
Possibly this one?I don't think Christopher's parents were Richard Newey and Mary Phillips, they seem to have a number of children in Bham afterwards. And there are a couple of Richard Neweys born Bham who that could be.
I think your Richard Newey may have been born 1720 in Oldbury, married a Catherine Willmot in 1747 Rowley Regis and then after Catherine dies in West Brom 1752, remarries a Mary. Not all marriage records are available still.
There is a death for a Richard in West Brom 1781 and Mary (a widow) in 1797.
