Recorded that Stephen Bloxwich married Scott Seney 24 Jun 1804. Grateful to know if there is any indication of other family members witnesses etc in the records.

Trying to research Bloxwichs back beyond Stephen b.1777. Only detail we have is parents born approx 1750, Stephen Bloxwich and Mary Marshall (or Mashall) who originated/married in the Coseley area. No sign of siblings to son Stephen or their deaths.

The family all gravitated back to Birmingham / Aston in the mid 1800s so we hope there may be something lurking in the church records!
 
there are only 3 records for the name bloxwich

stephen bloxwich of the parish of walsall bachelor and scott (looks like sency/lency to me) short, of this parish spinster, married in this church by licence 24 june 1804

they both signed their names and wifes name does appear to be scott sency (or lency) short

witnesses were hannah horton and benjamin fisher


there is a baptism emma bloxwich b. 27 oct 1839 christened 18 nov 1839 daughter of george and mary bloxwich. abode lord street. occ. nail cutter



burial of george aged 7 mths son of william and elizabeth bloxwich on 16 dec 1838. abode lord street

hope this helps :)
 
Many thanks - My mistake about Scott - her maiden name was Short! I wasn't concentrating! An unusual name made up of all her "ancestors". Father Sam Short, Grandmother Scott Seney and Great Grandmother Elizabeth Scott

I am going to have to keep hunting for the Bloxwichs. I have no obvious links which tie into the other folk you mention but you never know what is going to turn up.

Much appreciated anyway
