Priestley / Priestly / Presley - Help Please!
« on: Sunday 03 February 08 22:21 GMT (UK) »
I have been working on my tree for a while now and have now made contact with some distant relatives - we have all helped fill in a lot of blanks on our trees :-)

One person in my tree that is stopping me going any further is Ralph Priestley b.1851 in Fenton, Staffs. His name has changed throughout the cenus's.  He married Harriet Rowland in 1871 in Wolstanton, Staffs.

I have found Ralph on the census sheets for 1851,1861,1871,1881,1891 and 1901:

1901 ralph presley - RG13; Piece: 2594; Folio: 53; Page: 43 - diff wife (hannah - looks like a typo) age 50

1891 ralph priestley - RG12; Piece: 2183; Folio 50; Page 21 - age 40

1881 ralph priestly - RG11; Piece: 2736; Folio: 71; Page: 52 - age 30

1871 ralph presley - RG10; Piece: 2851; Folio: 61; Page: 16 - age 20

1861 ralph presley - RG9; Piece: 3516; Folio: 32; Page: 9 - age 10 (mexborough - Doncaster)

1851 ralph j berley - HO107; Piece: 2006; Folio: 430; Page: 9 - age 4 months - fenton. Name clearley mis-transcribed (indicated by the word 'son'!!)

Ralphs Father was William Priestley, b.1827, d.1907 in Tunstall, Stoke on Trent - i have a copy of his death certificate which has Ralphs' sister as present at the death.

I am pretty confident that I have traced this correctly but really need someone who is a bit more experienced to confirm my findings too. so here's is what i would like:

1. Someone to tell me I have got this right ;-)

2. As this tree is pretty hard to trace i suspect that there are others in the same position as me. If you think we may have a link get in touch!

Hello David

Yes, it all looks ok by me.  My only comment is that for both Ralph's birth and marriage the surname Presley is used.  Also on the 1841 it is the family name, so the change must have come after he was married.
