Joseph VINCENT Stonegrave, Somerset?

[astley7]

Hi all i am looking for Joseph Vincent and family born 1825 in stone grave ? Somerset. I have looked up Stone grave but cant seem to locate the area. Would love to find the family prior to him coming to Merthyr Tydfil abt 1849 have located him in 1851 and there on.

Would love to find the rest of the family before 1851.

best wishes and thank you.

Hi Lisa,

Do you have the Marriage Cert of Joseph/Rachel?
I presume it is this one'

Joseph VINCENT
September 1849
Abergavenny 26 5
On same page Rachel JONES

What info does it contain?
Parents names, witnesses, ages , occp, etc

Remember that enumerator may have misheard the place name of Josephs birth. It could be Staplegrove, Stone-Edge etc.
Place names in Somerset;

Also on 1851 their first child is named William. It is more than likely the first son is named after Josephs Dad.
It is also transcribed as STONEGROVE not Stonegrave.
I presume Rachels Dad is living next door to them in 1851 Census.

When did he die? I have only found them 1851/1861 Census so far.
EDIT, was it March 1871 age 46?

hi trish
Thanks for the message and your time. yes I think we have the right joseph, I also though that stonegrave was mis-spelling couldnt find it on the map either. I havent got the marriage cert yet but dont think that joseph's family would be on it some how. Joseph did die in 1871 and his then wife went on to remarry. Its a shame that the other census didnt state where he was from only Somerset.

Thanks for all your help

Hi Lisa
I am not positive about Welsh Marriage Certs but English ones definitely have at least Fathers name and occupation .
I have a cert from 1837 that has the info.

Just checked;

I think it would be money well spent.
