Note

These children were registered to a Shelah and Sarah Garratt, although there is no record of Elizabeth dying, and she is listed on both the 1841 and 1851 census.There are no other Shelahs of an age group to be having these children and they were baptised, so one can only assume Elizabeth and Sarah were one and the same.

On the 1841 census Benjn and Eliza are listed, Pru is most likely Shelah's nephew's child ( both Shelah's brother, and nephew named Samuel).

All births and marriages, St Thomas, Dudley, Worcestershire, unless otherwise stated.

                                                                   Dudley Estate Cottage rentals.


From the Cottage Rentals for 1789-91 and 1799-03 we can see that a cottage was being rented
by an Elizabeth Barnett, and that in the 1803-09 book this rental had been taken over by
Shelah.

                                                                                Dudley Estate Sale


In October 1847 an offer to buy their cottages was sent to some renters on the Dudley Estate.
The reason was that middlemen were renting them, then subletting them at higher rents, the
Estate thought it would be too expensive in maintance costs to keep the cottages within the estate
itself, hence their sale.

Some renters bought 2 and 3 cottages and other properties in the same street.

From the Dudley Estate records we can see that Shelah didn’t purchase his cottage.

On one of the forms Shelah's mother-in-law is named as Dace, but in the rentals as Barnett, his
wife's maiden name. Is this 'Dace' a mistake as the neighbors name was Dace, or were they related ?
