Hi
My great grandfather was Edward Patrick Staunton, born about 1847. I would be grateful for help in finding out when he died.
His marriage certificate gives his occupation as an apothecary living in Dominick Street, Galway. He married Jane Semple on 6 June 1876. My grandfather, Edward Bertram Staunton, was born the following year and his sister Mary about 1881. There may have been other children but I don’t have any information about them. By the 1901 census Jane had re-married (new husband a Dr Parker), so Edward could have died at any time sometime between 1881 and 1901.
I would appreciate any information which would help with the date of my great grandfather’s death or any that would narrow it down (e.g. the date Jane Staunton married Dr Parker).
Many thanks if you can help

found some details that may be of interest in Slaters Directores :
1846 : Apothecaries Section - Staunton Patrick, Dominick St.
1870 : Apothecaries Section - Staunton Edwd. Patrick, Dominick St.
1881 : Apothecaries Section - Staunton Jane, Dominick St.
1894 : Alphabetic Section - Parker Dr.Francis,8 LowerDominick st
in connection with my work I knew Staunton Chemists over in the west - one of them was in Castlebar... not sure if they are connectioned, but it is a profession that runs in families. My grandad was a Pharmacist/Chemist in Dublin.

Hi Shane
That's brilliant! It certainly narrows down the date my great grandfather died then - it looks as though it was before 1881. Hopefully I can get hold of the certificate now and find out more.
Jane Parker and my grandfather Edward Bertram were living at the medical hall at 8 Lower Dominick Street in the 1901 census and my grandfather eventually took it over. I don't know of a connection to Castlebar but will keep an eye open. I understand my grandfather and his family moved from Galway to run a chemists in Ballinrobe around 1910 and then in Ballaghaderreen in the early 1920s.
Many thanks for your help with this.

If your Grandfather's Date of Birth was 1877 and his sister 1881, possibly the 1884 date might be correct but it also might be another Staunton.

Birth Registrations for the children are a bit unusual, it looks like they were registered long after the event.
They are the only ones with mother surname on the index and there is no image of either, Mary is marked as dead.

Many thanks for the links you’ve posted and the extracts of information. It's been 8 years since the last posting so it's a bit of a surprise to see these - and thanks to Sinann for alerting me in a personal message. Taking each in turn:
Kalilileth: Yes, thanks – this is my grandfather Edward Bertram Staunton and his family in the 1911 census. His mother had remarried (but was now widowed), and her name was now Jane Parker. Her first husband, Edward Patrick Staunton, died of smallpox on 19th September 1878, two years after they were married. Their son, my grandfather, was born in 1877 and his sister Mary Frances was born three months after her father died. Jane Staunton had married Dr Francis Parker in September 1883 in Dublin (see Sinann’s link).
One of Jjtjr’s records is of Edward Bertram’s marriage and one correctly provides information about Edward Bertram Staunton’s death in 1878 – I have a copy of his death certificate to confirm this. The other one listed for 1884 must be somebody else (a bit of a coincidence though as the age given is the same!) or else is an error in this record.
Sinann also provides links to Dr Francis Parker’s death, which was on 20th March 1896 in Galway. Dr Francis and Jane Parker had two children – John Aloysius Parker born 10th February 1885 at Dominick Street, Galway and Francis Joseph Stanislaus Parker, born 15th June 1887 at the same address.
Dathai’s link is to the birth record of my uncle Cyril in 1908. He was the second of eight children born to Edward Bertram Staunton and his wife Julia (née O’Loughlin). My father, Gerard Joseph Staunton, was the youngest, born in 1925.
In case anyone is looking for links to this O’Loughlin family, Julia’s parents were Michael John O’Loughlin and Rose Anne Quigley. They were married on 9th April 1872 in Londonderry.
Sinann provides information on the birth records of Edward Bertram Staunton in 1877 and Mary Frances Staunton in 1878, in which the record for Mary states that she was dead. Perhaps, as Sinann suggests, this was only posted much later once she had died. She certainly didn’t die young; she married Cecil Newton on 27th December 1902 in Galway and they had four children - Blanche (1905), Geraldine (1907), Bertie (1911), Aubrey (1913). I haven’t found a record of her death.
I’m very grateful for all your help with this and I hope this helps others who have links to this family.
Thanks
Malcolm

Thank you Dathai - I didn't have any information on either Cecil's or Mary's deaths, so this is a great help. They obviously both lived to a good age. I did know about poor Bertie, who died at age 17 from an appendicitis.
I have a photo of Cecil, Mary and their children here, in case it's of interest:

edited to add just noticed Cecil seems to be buried in the same plot as his grandparents the Newton's

Many thanks for these Dathai.
I haven't done much research recently because I'd hit a brick wall and it was costing a lot to view records on one particular site, which I won't mention. I wasn't aware of the Irish Geneology site or the Find a Grave that you and others have given in this recent batch of posts. There are obviously a lot more records available online now so this has prompted me to start investigating again!

Taking a look from a different angle
Agnes SEMPLE was a witness at the first marriage of Jane SEMPLE and listed with her in 1911 as an Aunt of Edward Bertram STAUNTON aged 60
There is a death in Ballinrobe in 1918 (although shown as aged 80!) of a Mary Agnes SEMPLE and the informant is Edward Staunton. LINK (https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1918/05177/4428910.pdf)
This could be the same Agnes and help locate Jane
-
Yes, I had that. Think she is likely to be Jane's sister. Check out the wills I have sent you and browse through the newspaper clippings later.
-
Btw, would you be kind enough to post a transcript of Jane's marriage entry/cert. Also would you please clarify the source of your information regarding her marriage The AT Nile Lodge as opposed to FROM Nile Lodge.
Also, please note Rev. Augustin Staunton is brother of husband.
I would be very keen to see who conducted Jane's first marriage. Also would be keen to know the exact date with regard to the birth of Bertram Edward. She seemed to be cutting it fine :)
Also Bertram Edward Purcel Staunton...where does the Purcel name come from?
As to Jane's death, we know she is in Roscommon in 1911 and I suspect we need to follow Edward/Bertram's career to see when he moves on from there and if Jane is still with him. Otherwise we may find her in Roscommon or possibly in a nursing home in Galway, Dublin or Cong.
I do not see any trace of a burial in the Semple Vault in Galway.
-
Back to Mary Agnes Semple. Remember Edward Staunton was a G.P. and would have signed off many death certs so we can't be sure till we have proof.
-
I am confused about this:
"One of Jjtjr’s records is of Edward Bertram’s marriage and one correctly provides information about Edward Bertram Staunton’s death in 1878 – I have a copy of his death certificate to confirm this. The other one listed for 1884 must be somebody else (a bit of a coincidence though as the age given is the same!) or else is an error in this record"
If Edward/Bertram died in 1878, how was he on the 1911 Census?
