Stead Family anyone?

[Rachel_79]

Can someone help me find Thomas Stead's parents?

The information I have is that he was born in 1844 in Boston, Lincolnshire and was married to Lucy Cowham and had at least 7 children....

Thanks

Hi Rachel 79
There is this family in 1851
William Stead(s) head mar 33 cordwainer   Lincs Boston
Mary Ann  "      wife mar 29                          "    Whaplode
Betsey      "      dau u/m 9     scholar            "    Boston
Thomas     "      son u/m 7          "                 "        "
William      "      son u/m 1                             "        "
living at Boston, Lincs
H0107/ 2099
folio 340
page 28


I take it that Thomas married Lucy Cowham in 1869 at Boston. In the April/May/June quarter, vol 7a page 654. 
Also in the same quarter was a marriage for Betsey Stead, which could have been Thomas's sister. Only way to find out for sure is the marriage certificate for Thomas and Lucy.

I can only supply the pieces - you must weigh the possibilities and put them together 

William STEAD bap 18 March 1818 Boston, son of Thomas and Alice.

Mary Ann WILCOX bap 2 May 1821 Whaplode Drove, dau of William and Ann.  They had a few others, including Richard 6 Oct 1815 (I presume Lydia in 1841 was Richard's wife).
