Re: Eardley Family History Research

My great-great grandmother was Margaret Eardley who married James Skidmore on the 2nd September 1838 at Harborne in the county of Stafford. Her father’s name was Joseph Eardley and he was deceased at the time of her wedding. The marriage certificate states that she was 21 when she married; therefore I estimate that she was born circa 1816/17. However, when she died the 19th January 1879, her age was given as 65, which would indicate that she was born circa 1814. The couple had 11 children, all of whom were baptised in Brierley Hill. It has been suggested that Margaret originated from either Shifnal, Donnington Wood or Madely in Shropshire but I do not know upon what evidence this possibility is based. Is there any kind soul out there who might have come across either Margaret or her father Joseph during their own research who would be willing to share their knowledge of the family with me?

Thanking you in anticipation of your help and support.
