Dancey Burial 1882
« on: Sunday 08 January 17 16:29 GMT (UK) »
There is a death Dec qtr 1882 Gloucester 6a 192.  Alice Dancey aged 36.

I wonder if there is a burial anywhere for this because I am wondering if this should be Mary Ann and not Alice and James their husband got the names mixed up when he registered the death.

Mary Ann and James's last child Lily Mabel birth was registered June 1882 and James married Alice in December 1883 as a widower.

I can't find a death in Gloucester for Mary Ann Dancey(Hayes) born C1845 Gloucester between June 1882 and the marriage in December 1883.

If he was registering his wife's death between April - June 1882 - how likely is it he would give the name of a woman he only married 18 months later and may possibly not even have known at the time of his wife's death??

Have you looked for an Alice Dancey on the 1881 census?

Hi Alan

I can't see a burial for either an Alice or Mary Ann in Gloucestershire records. In light of Mr Danceys character found in later records - maybe Mary Ann hadn't died.

Just a thought.

I Haven't looked for a Alice Dancey in 1881.

You could be right maybe she remarried she was only in her thirties.

This is the situation.

James Dancey married Mary Ann Hayes 6/1/1867 Birmingham

As a widower he married Alice Haines 3/12/1883 Gloucester

As a bachelor he married Priscilla Wood 12/8/1885 Gloucester.

31/10/1885 he was imprisoned at Gloucester for Bigamy.

In 1891 he was living with Alice in Birmingham

In 1901 he was back living with Priscilla and Alice's daughter Beatrice and daughters born 1898 and 1900 maiden name Woods.In Birmingham

No sign of Alice after 1891.

I think the Bigamy applies to him marrying Priscilla because when he died 1929 he left his money to a Priscilla Wood. So his marriage to her was void.Although when she died 1945 she was called Priscilla Dancey.

Hi,

There is a death notice Gloucester Citizen 11 October 1882 -

Dancey - Oct 9 at the Infirmary Glos. Anne Dancey wife of James Dancey of St Catherine Street, aged 36 years.

So perhaps the above is Mary Ann.

James seems to be quite an interesting character  :)

I think you have found Mary Ann's death because they were living at 10, Catherine Street.

Thank You.

Her last child born June qtr 1882 Lily Mabel died Sept qtr 1882 4 months old so maybe she had trouble giving birth and never recovered.

The death registered Alice aged 36 could well be her then because there's not another.

I wish I could have a look at the original image but not one on family search.

Lily Mabel might have been being looked after by someone while her mother was in infirmary.As the address was different from the father.
