17th Century Randles

The first of my line I have so far traced is a John Randle who married Alice Gould in 1737. The marriage took place at the parish church in Halesowen, Worcestershire, a town to the west of Birmingham. I haven't yet found out where John was born. Although some of the couple's children were baptised in Halesowen, the majority were at St.Kenelms Romsley a village at the foot of the Clent Hills, so I think this is likely to be where they lived.

St.Kenelm's, Romsley.

The family consisted of Sarah b.1738, John b.1740, William b. and d. 1743, George b.1744 d.1747, Thomas b. 1747, Joseph b. 1749 (my ancestor), James b.1753, Benjamin b.1755, and Hannah b. and d.1759.
