Trying to find the parents of William Stacey born abt. 1831. I have found him on the 1871 Census & the 1881 Census. The family changed their surname from Stacey to Louder on the 1881 Census. I cannot find a marriage for William Stacey & Emily Louder. I have found birth records for most of their children all born with the surname Stacey and mother's maiden name Louder but the children with ???? below I have nothing to confirm if they are their children.

William Stacey 40 Head
Emily Stacey 30 Wife
William Stacey 15 Son
Lucy Stacey 13 Daughter
Andrew Stacey 10 Son
Jack Stacey 8 Son
Elizabeth Stacey 6 Daughter

Emilie Stacey from 1891 marries as Stacey - spouse George Clarkson in 1904 (although they are together in 1901 as Clarkson) . She has Emily Louder with her in 1911 as mother in law to head George.
They all seem to congregate in Wilford Road. Alfred is there too

A few possible newspaper items for the family. I'm not convinced all the items are for the family but thought I'd include them anyway, just in case.
Sussex Advertiser
20 Jan 1857
Tunbridge Wells
Intelligencer
William Stacey (holding in his arms an infant) was charged with cutting and stealing 14 green willow stakes from the estate of William Woodgate, Esq., at Tudely. Emily Louder (his unmarried partner) was placed at the bar at the same time, on charge of lodging under a tent at Tudely, without any visible means of subsistence, and of not giving satisfactory account of herself.
Supt. Dance (who produced the sticks, and a number of swede turnips he had found in the possession of the gipsies) said he didn't wish to press charge against the woman, as both were very civil.
Both charges were pleaded guilty to. Louder was discharged and took the babe, while Stacey was ordered to pay £2 5s. 6d. (1s. 6d. damages, £1 fine, £1 4s. costs). Defendant, who treated the matter as a good "lark," said he couldn't pay, and was sentenced to one calendar month's imprisonment.

Borough Bench, Monday, February the 28th
Drunkenness And Assaulting The Police
William Stacey, a hawker, was charged with being drunk and riotous on Saturday night last.
Mr Quelch, landlord of the White Horse Inn, Spital Street, stated that defendant came to his house on Saturday night, and after remaining there for some time he began to kick up a row by showing symptoms for fighting. He wanted witness to supply him with some beer, but this was refused to do. At this refusal defendant became more incensed, and was very noisy and pugnacious, and witness at once gave him into custody.
Mr Superintendent Vickers told the magistrate that the defendant was very violent on his way to the station, having kicked and struck the policemen several times, besides arousing the whole neighbourhood.
PC Buckland deposed that the defendant was very drunk, and also desperately violent on the night in questions. He (Buckland) had a struggle with him on the ground when the defendant gave him a sharp kick in the leg.
The Bench stated that such conduct could not be permitted with impunity, and therefore they should inflict upon him the penalty of £1, or in default of payment one month's imprisonment,
The money was paid.

Thank you Mabel Bagshawe for all the information, I do already have the information on my family tree, the brick wall I have hit is finding William Stacey's parents and whether William and Emily married as I cannot find a marriage.
Many Thanks

Thank you so much cuffie81, very interesting reading. I am a member on Ancestry and have tried to find the information you have kindly given me but having no luck. Where can I find the newspaper items?
Many Thanks

Mitche11, the newspaper items are from the British Newspaper Archive. Accessing the full articles does require a subscription, either via the BNA direct or via FindMyPast (the BNA articles are only available to the higher-level FindMyPast subscriptions though).
Looking through some of your other posts I see you have a number of traveller families you're interested in, so it might be worth your while taking out a BNA subscription (even just month to try it). Traveller families often make appearances in the newspapers, and the items can sometimes include quite a bit of detail about family relationships.
