Dancey Burial 1882

[Mansl]

Another thing that stands out is James married illegally Priscilla in 1885 done his prison sentence and is then back with Alice in 1891 with one of Mary Ann's daughters and two of their daughters Adelaide born 1889 and they have named one of them Beatrice PRISCILLA born 1888.Priscilla being the name of the woman he married but neither of them have a mother's maiden name.

Now in 1901 when Alice as disappeared he is in Birmingham with Priscilla again along with Beatrice (cant find Adelaide in 1901 but she married in 1909)the daughters of Alice and two more daughters from Priscilla.

So because Beatrice is with her father and not her mother Alice could have died but would probably be in Birmingham.

Have you seen this census entry ADELAIDE DUNCEY bn Gloucestershire c1890, living in Aston Warwickshire

Class: RG13; Piece: 2867; Folio: 134; Page: 40

No corresponding birth record to separate her from Adelaide DANCEY, very curious

Hi Claire.

That will be her then I will have to go and have a look at that is she on her own?.

Her mother's not with her is she?.

It's who she is with that's curious ~ Eliza EDMONSON ~ mother bn Hartlepool aged 42

George WOOD age 34 bn Newent, Gloucestershire

It is a shock.

Now Priscilla Dancey(Wood) was born in Newent in 1862 so George could be her brother but Eliza could she have adopted her.

The mind boggles

Yes I have just looked George up on the GRO same mothers maiden name as Priscilla

Alan

[..claire..]

Yes just found their baptisms in Newent.

Wonder who Eliza Edmonson is ? Can you see the image ~ she is Elizabeth

[..claire..]

Wonder who Elizabeth is ~ Adelaide was baptized by James and Priscilla 1889

Now that makes me think even more now that her mother Alice had died.

Maybe James bumped her off?.He had his own Dentistry in Birmingham Gibson, Dancey &Co. and was a Chemist as well.
