William Stanley - can't find a death!

[littleem1906]

Hi

There is a William Stanley in my family tree. He was born around 1823 in Dawley, Shropshire.

I found what I believe to be his baptism on IGI - William Stanley - 25 May 1823, Dawley-Magna. Parents - William and Rebecca.

I know that William married Jane Jones in Wellington, Shropshire in 1845.

I have William in the 1841, 1851, 1861 and 1871 census records. However, I can't find him form 1871 onwards. Did he die? If so, when? If not, where is he in the 1881, 1891 and 1901 census records?

I also don't know when his wife Jane died, as I can't find her in later census records either.
If anyone can help with this it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all,

The death for Jane I have taken as a good possibility for my Jane. Still no luck with William. If Jane died in 1875, then William would have been around 52 years of age. Could he have remarried?

[patrish]

He may well of remarried, especially if he still had youngish children living with him after Janes death.

But I cant see an obvious one, even taken a look on the Welsh 1881 in case he had gone over the border but no luck .

The only thing is, his name would not change if he married? Their was a death in 1874 Madeley of a William aged 60, looked for a William b 1814 in 1871 to accomodate this death, but could not locate one in the vicinity of Madeley, just wondered if whoever reported death "thought" that was how old he was?
