That one doesn't show on FMP Margee, just goes to show it's worth checking more than one place sometimes - it was the only site showing the answer to a query the other day

PM RECEIVED ....

Hello Mike
Firstly thank you for your help last evening
I have another request, If I may
I would like to find the wife of William Postins some times listed as Pokus
William,s wife was Jane on the 1841 they were listed here as Pokus on Ancetry as Postins

Living in the parish of Kinfare address New Barn, Wolverhampton & Seisdon, Kinfare

Any advice or help would be much appreciated
Kind Regards
Tom

You don't give their ages in 1841 but found this one which may be totally wrong but ....


WILLIAM POSTANCE--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Marriages:
Spouse: JANE WILLIAMS
Marriage: 26 DEC 1830 Kidderminster, Worcester, England



Also does it say born in county in 1841?
Do you know of any children they had ( if any born after 1837 their birth certificate would give you mother's maiden name )
The more info you can give the better

According to Ancestry trees William Postins b May 13 1810 Kinver married Jane Williams in 1835 b 1810 Rock Worcestershire
According to the tree they are the parents of your John Postins who married Emma Parsons There are 11 other children of the marriage, born between 1831 and 1861
William,according the Ancestry records died 1880 Wolverhampton and
Jane died 1884, also Wolvehampton
The marriage year on the tree looks a bit "iffy" as it is 4 years after the birth
of their first child ,which is a little unusual

The entry for William Postance marrying Jane Williams in 1830 is only a submitted entry ( supplied by a member)

However, this baptism for son John is an extracted entry ( taken directly from the parish records )


JOHN POSTINS

Christening: 16 DEC 1838 Kinver, Stafford, England
