William was born in 1834 in Kidderminster, and appears living with his parents aged 7 in the 1841 census, again in 1851 aged 17 he's living with his parents and his occupation is listed as a woolsorter (so he was no longer attending school)

William Muckley Andrews was only 22 when his first wife Emma died 6 days after giving birth to their son William John Andrews. It seems that William and Emma were married just a few months before the birth.

Because of the industrial changes at the time, there was a lot of unemployment and it seems likely this is why he and his second wife Amelia Mitchell & their young family had to move around such a lot to find work.

&nbsp

Amelia's parents, Thomas Phelps Mitchell (school teacher, printer & newsagent of Birmingham Street, Oldbury) and his wife Jane Harriett (nee Hodgetts) opposed the marriage of their daughter to William Muckley Andrews..
