The family is living in Meeting Street, Wednesbury.

His father, Job, is listed as age 26 and a boiler maker. He would therefore have some engineering background to do this job.

William's mother, Mary Ann is 27 and he has four siblings:

• Sarah Ann - age 6
• Rebecca - age 5
• Richard - age 3
• William - age 1

Father - Job - age 48 and mother - Mary Ann - age 48.

Siblings listed:

• Richard - age 23 was a farm labourer for his father.
• William - age 20 was a farm labourer for his father.

• Samuel - age 8
• Mary Ann - age 6

They also had a farm labourer, Frank Webster, age 17, living with them.

William, aged 30, is now married to Maud, age 25, and is living in Ivy Cottages, Windmill Street, Wednesbury.

He is working as a furniture remover and is listed as a 'employer' rather than 'worker' unlike his brother Job, who lives next door.

There is a second initial to his name... J? Was he a William Job?

His children:

• William J - age 6
• Florence B = age 1

Two lodgers also live at the house:

William Richards - age 25 - is listed as working with the ash in the ironworks.

Edward Hall - age 21 - listed as a furniture carter (so he probably worked for William)
