JAMES STALEY Look up Please

[Shirles]

Could SKS please look in any Parish Registers they may have for the baptism of James Staley abt 1769.  He married Margaret Corns on 20 Jun 1790 in Lydbury North all of their six children were born in Lydbury North, Shropshire and I thought James was born there also, but he is not listed.  Their first child was also James Staley born 8 May 1761 Lydbury North.  I think James Staley (Senior) will be in Shropshire somewhere or the border counties of Wales.
 
IF you do a look up and James Staley is not in your Parish Register could you let me know please ~ it will help me to narrow the field when I send for any more Parish Registers.
 
Many thanks in advance

Hi Shirles,
I thought the following burials at St Michael & All Angels, Lydbury North, may be of interest?
29/07/1818, Margaret STALEY, aged 49
21/01/1821, Martha STALEY, aged 28
04/03/1834, Elenor STALEY, aged 3

Hi Victor

Thank you for your interest.  I need to find their births and hopefully parents names because my Eleanor Staley (who I am named after) was born in 1829 in Kerry, Montgomeryshire and died in 1915. Her parents were William and Sarah Staley nee Graty (son of James Staley).  Martha I'm not sure of. but Margaret Staley is a strong possibility with James Staley having married Margaret Cornes again need to do more research.

I have heard back from Shropshire Archives and Trinity Hospital Clun do not have a record of James Staleys birth or place of birth even though he lived and died there, another dead end so to speak.

Many thanks for your help ~ Best wishes Shirley

Found this on Family Search
James Staley married Anne Jenkins on 5 April 1825 Diddlebury
                                                  or 11 April 1825 Clungunford
could be his son or James (senior)

his wife Margaret Corns, possibly died aged 49, in 1818 the MI would be handy.
On the 1851 census, where is James Staley, (senior) born?

[Shirles]

Hello Alberbury

Yes I think it is possible that this is James Staley Jnr I have seen it myself and wondered if they had a blessing in one Parish Church and married in the other.

James Staley Senior died in 1845 prior to 1851 Census so unfortunately I dont have a place of birth. His wife Margaret nee Corns died in Jul Qtr 1850 in Clun. 

I am still trying to find the 'Staley's' that Victor suggested my have connections I have found where they died but not where they were born. Elenor died Bishops Castle, Martha died Norbury and Margaret Staley died Lydbury.  Family search site has changed since I last visited I preferred the old search index. Even Ancestry has changed so I am getting nowhere fast at present.

Thank you for your interest.
Best wishes

James Staley, senior difficult to find. Where do earlier Staley's come from?  Do you think Kerry, Mont.

Hello Alberbury

Thank you very much for the details of the marriage of James and Margaret I had the date and place off Mark Georges Lydbury North website but had not yet checked it at the Archives, most kind of you to look them up for me.

I descend from James and Margaret's son William born 4 Apr 1797 in Lydbury North, he married Sarah Graty born 5 Mar 1805 in Kerry.   They married in Kerry, Montgomeryshire 2 Dec 1825.  All of their children were born in Kerry. Their daughter Eleanor Staley was my Gr Gr Grandmother born 20 Apr 1829 in Gwenthrew, Kerry she married Evan Tudor on 26 Sep 1847 all of their 13 children where also born in Kerry. That begins my Tudor line!!!

I am stuck for finding earlier Staley's until I find the birth of James Staley b circa 1770.

Many thanks once again Alberbury for your help and interest.

Hello Shirley,
Found the link.http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~markgeorge/LydburyWeb/registers/reg1769.html#bap
Found your Margaret Cornes, but no James Staley, senior. Although it is worth a thorough look.
James Staley, senior. A burial with MI. His Will. If his baptism is not in Lydbury North, it is a task of checking all the Parishes nearby. Perhaps try request on Rootschat - Montgomeryshire, maybe a link to Kerry Ceri.
Hopefully the link works. Good work by Mark George.

Hello Alberbury

I need to make a visit to Shrewsbury to continue my search for James Staley Senior for MI and Will. I have already searched the following areas but there are plenty more in Shropshire!!

Bishops Castle, Clungunford, Ludlow, Petton, Pontesbury, Westbury, Worthen, Ratlinghope, Chirbury, Smethcote.

I will keep you updated if and when I find him.

Many thanks once again.

Best wishes
