THOMAS in Pace lineage - PARENTS - PACE-SQUIRE -

I've just started researching my family tree here in ENGLAND. I've only been at it about a month, but have got back to 1835 and ENOCH PACE's marriage to HANNAH WOOTTON in ETTINGSHALE, near WOLVERHAMPTON, Staffordshire (now West Midlands). His father was a THOMAS PACE but I have little information on him yet, except that I believe he was born in LANEY GREEN, Staffs. ENOCH & HANNAH's children all became locksmiths, keysmiths until my father broke the tradition.

These are the names in my tree:
PACE, COLCLOUGH, THOMPSON, WRIGHT, WEBB, WOOTTON-1, WOOTTON-2, LOWBRIDGE, EVANS, SMITH, FINIGHAN, BLUNT, PRICE

Y PACE, Buckinghamshire
