Hi again Anne
You guessed correctly, most of my line from Darlaston were Gun Lock Filers a step up from the forger I believe.
Do you have any Dangerfields in your line from Darlaston? Some of the Dangerfields and Partridges were very skilled gun trade workers, making barrells, Gun Locks and even the stock for the handle.
I've tracked some one them from Darlaston to Aston in B'ham and down to London at The Royal Arsenal living in Deptford and Woolwich. Some returned to Wednesbury and Darlaston after making their fortunes or retiring from the trade.
Coal mining and Nailmaking were other trades there. Then as progress brought the machinery the nailors changed over to nut and bolt making.
I have quite a few Partridge burials listed from the local cemetery I'd be glad to look for anyone who may have eluded you so far.
I have a Hannah Harper c 1864 who married Samuel Hale 27 Sept 1885 died 12 Oct 1924. I know nothing else about her yet.......Do you have a Hannah in your tree around these dates?
I also have William Harper c 1878 father Joseph who married Elizabeth Walters c 1879 at St Lawrence 1909
