Find Ancestors

Hi Please can anybody help me. I'm trying to trace the ancestors of Edward Fennel / Fennell born c1839 Staffordshire. He married Asenath / Eseneath Armstrong 1859 Stourbridge. He has been traced on the 1881 census living in Altofts, Wakefield, Yorkshire with his wife and children Edward, Joseph, Sarah, Ben, Samuel, Eliza and Harriet. Edward was a coal miner so presume this is why he moved around the country. I have been unable to trace him any early - anybody up for a challenge?? Here's hoping. Julie

What about his wife? Have you traced her? Possibility? Marriages Mar 1859 Armstrong Arenath Stourbridge 6c 189 .....>>>Armstrong Asenath Stourbridge 6c 189 .....>>>FENNELL Edward Stourbridge 6c 189 Mullett James Stourbridge 6c 189 Pitt Elizabeth Stourbridge 6c 189
