Rosehannah Stone - Tipton

[adnams74]

Hi my great-great grandmother was called Rosehannah Stone. She was born around 1847 in Tipton and I know that in 1871 she was married to a Jonathan Stone and had two sons John and James and lived on Canal Side Lane in Tipton. My great-grandfather name was Alfred and would have been born much later than that. Any ideas or help?

I'm not really sure what you are asking here? But here goes:

1891 census, Reference RG12, Piece 2284, Folio 89, Page 20

1881 census, RG11, 2864, 142, 36

And a marriage:

March qtr 1865

Stone, Jonathan
Gordon, Rosanna


So this must be her in 1851?

Thank you that was brilliant. She is my great-great grandmother and I am looking into her life. As far as I am aware her husband Jonathan my great grandfather was in prison in 1881 in Winson Green in Birmingham and then must have died sometime between 1881 and 1891 as she is a widow in 1891. She sounds like a remarkable woman.

Hi this could be his death:-

Jonathan Stone Sept 1889 Stafford 6b 5 aged 43

Could this be Jonathan?

3rd January 1888, Stafford General Quarter Session

Jonathan Stone, Breaking into Country House, once before convicted
Sentenced 15 months imprisonment


7th April 1885, Stafford Quarter Sessioms

Jonathan Stone, Warehousebreaking
Not guilty



And that 1881 census:
Reference RG11, 3011, 131, 23
H.M. Prison, Winson Green, Birmingham

Stone, Jonathan  Inmate  Married  M  35  Marine Store Dealer  b Derby  Blind

I think that is probably him yes.

I don't think either of them are him as he was in prison before both of them took place. Thanks anyway.

Hi again so if the 2 references to housebreaking were after the 1881 census, why could it not be him, do you therefore have knowledge of how long he was in prison from 1881?
