Notes:

It is highly likely that this Ephraim is the son of this James. I believe this to be true because my father said he had family in Wheeling, West Virginia because he had 2nd cousins in Ohio named Albert and Ephraim whom came from there. A DNA match on Ancestry is supporting this also between a person whom descends from Harriet, Ephraim's daughter, myself and 3 others all with matching DNA whom are descendants of Benjamin. Ephraim was a rag and junk dealer in the Wheeling town directories. He lived at 39 20th St. in 1888 and at 84 19th St. in 1890. He had Albert and Ephraim living with him in the 1888 diretory, suggesting that they were sons. Ephraim can be verified as the son of this Ephraim in his death certificate dated 1944. Albert can be verified as his brother in the 1920 census records for Montgomery Co., Ohio. He and his wife were born in England and had at least one child, Ephraim born in Bilston, England. According to their son, Ephraim's obituary, they emigrated to America when Ephraim was 11 calculating that to be about 1883/4. They are in the 1881 census for England before they emigrated with much of the information on this family coming from this source. He was a scrap iron dealer like his Benjamin Dimmack. According to this census he was born in Adenhill, England and had his children in Bilston, Staffordshire, England. This verifies that his son Ephraim was born in Bilston, and not Bristol as a family member reported in Ephraim Jr.'s death record. Ephraim Sr. and his family lived on 118 Pinfold St., Darlaston, Stafford, Eng in this 1881 census. I'm fairly certain that I have found Ephraim as a child living with his parents, James and Sarah Dimmock in the 1851 census. In it, it gives his birthyear the same as the 1881 census and his birthplace instead as Rowley, co. Worcestershire, England. I am unable to find either Adenhill in Staffordshire or Rowley Regis on current maps of Worcestershire, but I suspect that Rowley Regis would have been more accurate as that is where his parents were still living when Ephraim was a boy. Towns in that border area changed hands often as to what counties they were in. I believe this to be the same family because his brother Alfred was the next child born after him matching the age of his brother Alfred that moved to West Virginia and their likely brother Joseph that I had connected into this family earlier. It appears that Ephraim Sr. died before 1900 as Harriet Dimmick is in the 1900 census for Marshall Co., West Virginia with sons Ephraim, Frank and Arthur. Her eldest son, Albert and daughters are no longer living at home. Marshall is the county bordering Ohio County on the south and was originally formed from Ohio County, West Virginia. To summarize, we know the names of their children from various sources. Ephraim Jr. has his parents verified as Ephraim and Harriet in his death certificate. His brother is Albert in the 1920 census records for Ohio. Ephraim, Frank, and Aurthur are listed as Harriet's sons in the 1900 West Virginia census. Then two other daughters are listed by exact birth place in England in another descendants research. They were born just two miles from where Ephraim was born in England. These siblings names are mostly verified in Ephraim Jr.'s obituary.

Ephraim married Harriett BUCKNALL. Harriett (daughter of George BUCKNALL and Mary Ann CLARK) was born in Aug 1849 in West Bromwich, Staffordshire, ENG; died after 1900 in Of Franklin District, Marshall, WV, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

She is listed as an Ironmonger by occupation in the 1881 census for Darlaston, England.

Notes:

James is the son of Benjamin and Mary according to English baptismal records. He was baptized on May 26, 1805 or 1806 depending upon which translation is read. He was born in Dudley, Worcestershire, England according to the 1851 census. What the researcher needs to know is that Dudley, Staffordshire, England was part of the county of Worcestershire, England for many years meaning that his parents still lived near Rowley Regis, Dudley, Staffordshire, England where they grew up when James was born. He likely has siblings or cousins named Benjamin (b.1804) m. Fanny, Samuel (b. bef 1810) m. Elizabeth, Benjamin (b. 1803) m. Sarah, and Josh (b. 1802) m. Ann who all gave their birthplace as Dudley, Worcestershire, England in this census. There is a John Dimmack in Dudley, Worcestershire, England that might be a brother of this James who was having children in 1824 in Dudley. In that same town, a Mary Ann Dimmack married in 1848 who could be a daughter of this James also. (C-2580)

As for his parents, there is a John Dimmock, b. abt. 1777 in Dudley, Worcestershire, England who was still in residence in Dudley in the 1851 census, though it's county location was now listed as Staffordshire, England. His wife's name was Ann. If John is James' father, it's not a name carried down in the family. Any of the following newspaper entries might apply to this James. There is only 1 James Dimmock anywhere in Staffordshire in the newspapers. Though he appears to be of higher standing than that of a coal minor it still might be the 1 James Dimmock who is in the 1841 and 1851 census records as well as the news for Staffordshire.

James married Sarah BARNSLEY, *. Sarah (daughter of Thomas BARNSLEY, * and Ann HIPKISS, *) was born about 1806 in Rowley Regis, Staffordshire, England; was christened on 6 Oct 1805 in Rowley, Staffordshire, England; died in Apr 1871 in Wolverhampton, Staffordshire. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Males named Barnsley who lived in Rowley Regis of an appropriate age to be Sarah's father are James, b. abt. 1785, Joseph, b. abt. 1771 and Noah, b. abt. 1784. A Benjamin Barnsley, b. abt 1771 lived in Kingswinford in Staffordshire, England in 1841. Children of Sarah bore the names of Benjamin, Joseph and James in that order suggesting one of them could be her father.

George married Mary Ann CLARK. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Benjamin is listed of Kingswinford when he marries in that town. There are two Dimmock families in Kingswinford, Staffordshire, England in the correct time period to be this Benjamin's parents. One is Benjamin and Pheobe Billingham Dimmock and the other is William and Claire Dimmock. It is pure conjecture that he is the son of Benjamin and Phoebe. If he's the son of William and Claire Moss Dimmock instead then he had a sibling named Moss b. in 1771.
