One of my books has a black and white
photo of LOWER FARM, LITTLE BLOXWICH, home of the ARCH family. I thought I
saw a reference to someone on the list researching ARCH. Any takers?

Letters from
ARCH researchers
Dear Sir
I have ancestors whose surname is Arch and they are from Warwickshire. I don't know a lot about them
except that Hannah ( Ann ) Arch refers to herself as on her marriage certificate as 'Hannah Sabiner Arch' and on her daughter's birth certificate as 'Sarah Hannah Sabina Arch'.
She married Thomas Marshall in Sheffield in 1862. Her father was listed as William Arch, a labourer. He age keeps changing. In 1862 she was 18 thus born in Birmingham 1844. In the 1881 Census of Leeds she was 34 yrs, thus born in Birmingham in1847.
I have found an Ann Selina Arch born in Birmingham to a William Arch in 1836. The witness to her marriage was Ellen Arch. I was hoping that you may have come across some information or these names from that part of the family during your research?
Yours Sincerely,
Geoff Place - Melbourne Australia

I see from the Staffordshire page that you are researching the ARCH family.
So is my wife. Her family passed from Northants [NORTHAMPTON] in the 15th century through the BLACK COUNTRY in the 19th and so into BIRMINGHAM in the 20th. TIPTON was the main area of interest in the 19th, as her family were miners there.
About 1805 her NATHAN ARCH moved from BEDWORTH Warwickshire to TIPTON.
He had 7 children:
- Mary Ann (1808-
- John (1811-1839) who died in Armidale NSW
- Nathaniel (1814-1825)
- David (1816-1830)
- Isaac (1819-1860) wed Ann PARTRIDGE 1842
- Jabes (1821-1824)
- Dorcas (1824- )
ISAAC ARCH 1819-1860 and his brothers and sisters were born in Tipton between 1808 and 1824. He married Ann PARTRIDGE in 1842 and their children, NATHAN, ELIZA, DORCAS, DAVID, MARIA AMELIA, MARY JANE and ISAAC, were born in TIPTON, DUDLEY and DARLASTON between 1842 and 1860. They married into the DUNN, PATCHETT, PHILLIPS and CLEAVER families.
She has been in touch, about your people, with Harry ARCH,
who runs what is virtually a ONE-NAME ARCH STUDY and has records going back centuries.
He has a record of your family.
His records show your Maria 35, b Durham, is actually Marah and George, her brother, married RUTH PENRICK and they lived at 16 Blackenall Street. Does that mesh with your understanding?
W.H. ARCH, 60 The Bury,
PAVENHAM, Bedford, MK43 7PY, England.
Unfortunately, Harry has passed on June of 1999
Any possibility of a link, do you suppose?

From HARRY ARCH,
I learned that my grandmother's ARCH ancestors came from EXHALL, Warwickshire - EXHALL and BEDWORTH, both Warwickshire, are a mile or two apart. A connection looks likely, at this point...GTP
