seeking info about James Stacey b.1820 St Pancras,by 1841 he has a wife-- Elizabeth Webster, and in 1853 has a second wife Mary Brockey Boston b.1825 in Lincolnshire.He lives at various addresses in London and is a Dyer. His children from both marriages are all baptised.I cannot find either marriages assuming he did marry---and would love help as to where to look for them
Thank you

Did you get that information from the 1841 census?
That census doesn't quote relationships, so there would be no way of knowing (from the census alone) whether a man and a woman were married?!

One of them could be a boarder, lodger, housekeeper or servant?

[Marton]

thank you KGarrad
no- the 1851 census -he doesn't appear on the 1841
Info is from children's birth certs and following census returns until James dies in 1861
having looked for years we have never got to the bottom of this!

On online tree sugeests she signs herself as M B Boston on death cert for 3yr old James Frederick Stacey in 1853. He was buried 1st Jan 1854 at St George Hanover Sq

[dawnsh]

There's a burial at St James Westminster of Elizabeth Stacey aged 41 on 4th Feb 1853, she died at Middlesex Hospital which is most probably this entry, just out of the Wstminster RD

Mar 1853 
Stacey    Elizabeth         Marylebone    1a   264

so maybe James and Mary couldn't marry until later if at all

[Marton]

Thank you dawnsh, unless any more parish registers come to light I think that I will have to accept that neither woman was married to James,strange that there is nothing on the GRO either, we have both Elizabeth's and Mary's deaths and where Mary was buried, and where most of the children were too  from both relationships
We will keep on looking
many thanks Marton

When was the first child of James & Elizabeth born?

I can see baptisms for a Fanny 1843, Alfred John 1844 and William Henry Stacey 1846
at St James Westminster father James occ Dyer mother Elizabeth

Can't make out the name of their daughter age 10 from 1851 census

we have tried and tried to decipher the first female child,it is transcribed as Bei which when enlarged is not a B at all we have tried Nellie Edie  Ellie  and many others but have not found a child of that name, this with the lack of marriages is rather a brick wall- still over the years we have overcome many other problems
thankyou for all your efforts on our behalf
