Dear fellow listers
I am trying to find out a little about George CANDEY (or CANDY), born about 1862, from Tiverton, and his wife Emma JONES, born about 1855. They seem to have married in Tiverton in the June Quarter of 1879 (Vol 5b, page 778).
They appear in the 1881 Census in Tiverton with their son William aged 1, also born in Tiverton.
Can anyone help with George's parents' names? Apparently in the 1871 census he was boarding with another family, so there's no direct sign of his parents' names.
Maybe he and Emma appear in 1891 or 1901 and with a little luck, perhaps they are with other family members.
Any help gratefully received.
Many thanks
Philip Candy

Thanks David. This is a great start, and shows that William had some brothers and sisters.
I wonder if George's father was either William or James, based on the names he chose for his sons? Interestingly, there is a James CANDY, a mason, in the 1881 Census and George was a Mason's Labourer in the 1881 Census.
Kind regards and thanks
Philip

I also see from the 1881 that George was staying with his uncle Robert (b.1837 Tiverton) so I was hoping that we might get some 1841 / 1851 census return on him as I presume he would have been the brother of George's father...... but alas I can't see him on those census returns.
Robert features on the 1861 with his wife Mary Ann but no other clues

Thanks for this suggestion. I have a feeling there are two different George CANDEYs. The one with Robert was born about 1866 and was unmarried, whereas the one I am looking for was born about 1861 and was already married to Emma.
Still, the coincidence of first names and the occupation of Mason's Labourer does suggest some kind of relationship - probably cousins?
Kind regards and thanks
Philip

Thanks everyone for this help!
I would love to be able to find George's parents. It took me nearly a year to find grand dad William and then his dad George... It makes sense that George had a daughter Nellie as William called his first daughter after his sister.
Thanks Phil for listing this for me and thanks for all the help so far!

I have found George Candy and his parents Robert and Mary Ann, (Georges son William was staying with them in the 1891 census, there was a transcription error in the 1891 census) This has led to Roberts father James who was born in Burlescombe in 1817, I think that his father would be Robert Candy born 1797 in Burlsecombe, does anyone have any proof of this relationship?
Thanks

According to my records, Robert born in 1797 didn't marry until 1820; his wife's name was Mary DUNN.
I have a note that James baptised in 1817 was a son of James (Robert's brother) and his wife Mary DAVY.
My records show that James (senior) was baptised on 13 Sep 1789 at Sampford Peverell and that his brother Robert was baptised at Burlescombe on 5 January 1797. The parents of both of them were John CANDY and Grace HELLIER.
I didn't previously have Robert junior as a son of James; however this new information provides a link back for a further two generations prior to George. Many thanks to those who have provided input to this inquiry.
Kind regards
Philip Candy
