Somerset Lookup Requests / John Joyce of Beckington, 21 Bath Road, Beckington, Somerset.
« on: Sunday 09 July 17 07:16 BST (UK) »
The death notice of James Bailey Joyce appeared in New Zealand newspapers. For this reason I want to build a complete picture of his family, since his could be the family of James Parker JOYCE, born c1834 in Southern England. James Parker Joyce came to NZ c1850.
John Joyce, (1779 - 1865) married Mary Bailey (1780 - 1863) in 1799.
Lived at 21 Bath Road, Beckington, Somerset.
Ten children.
I would like to compete this list and know the surnames of their partners:-
James Bailey Joyce (1802 -1873)
John Wallis Joyce - still in company register 1886, address 21 Bath Road, Beckington, 1868-1886, wife Mary Ann. His grave has age at death - 43 years
Jesse Powell Joyce (1816-1859)
Daniel Bailey Joyce - named in company 1868-1886
I am looking for the other six children, and especially partner names such as Parker!
The last-named could be a grandson, but he is part of a company including John Wallis Joyce:-
Ebenezer Gough, Greenwick
John Edward Francis Frowd, Bristol, dead by 1872
Peter Keevil, North Bradley, Wiltshire
Daniel Bailey Joyce, Beckington
Only the company details for 1868 to 1886 noted. The two middle names could be those of daughters' husbands?
The property at 21 Bath Road was called Clifford Villas, but now the two buildings are called Peacock House and Clifford House, Number 2 being Clifford House. Clifford is a significant name, being that of my father.
I have found a John Joyce born Beckington in 1817, but other researchers consider John Wallis Joyce to have died, aged 43. The company list shows him still a member in 1886, but then, so is Frowd who was dead by 1872.
When John Joyce died, interested parties were asked to contact John Wallis Joyce or Daniel Bailey Joyce. Where was the eldest son James Bailey Joyce?
I would be grateful for any scrap of evidence. This has been a fifty year search. James Parker Joyce is well-recorded in New Zealand, but his origins are obscure apart from mention of Southhampton.
