Joseph Stacey

[wren]

Hi All
I have a Joseph Stacey stonemason who was present in the Bristol Workhouse in the 1871 census. I have been unable to locate a death record for this gentleman and he is not present in the 1881 census. I think this Joseph may be my ggg grandfather. I have traced him from 1841 through to 1861 where he was a stonemason and then this Joseph in the workhouse. I have three of his children in Sydney Australia. I have also been unable to find his wife Mary and his youngest daughter Sarah. No success with shipping records yet. But they had to have gone somewhere.
Regards
Wren

I have also been unable to find his wife Mary and his youngest daughter Sarah.

Did you check freebmd for a marriage for Sarah between 1861-1870 - there is one showing in 1870 but the IGI shows her father as Henry so you can ignore it

There is a Mary Stacey death in 1863 - have you already discounted it as Joseph shows as married on the 1871 entry?

www.freebmd.org.uk

1861 shows Joseph b Stowey Somerset 1808 but living in Bristol St James
Wife Mary Ann b 1808 Parton Somerset

Sarah A (?? Ann) b 1848 Bristol

1871 Joseph in WH was b Bristol St James 1804 but this may be an error

Thanks Sue Trish and Carole
Perhaps that death is my Joseph. Certainly those baptisms fit, although I wonder whether the Jane should be John. I have Emma, Harriet and John in Sydney where they all ended up being fairly successful. I can't find Sarah. I checked out Mary Ann and Sarah for Australia arrival but nothing as yet. I'm thinking that migration to the States may be another option.
The Barton Regis death may be a possibility.

Hi Wren,

No Jane is not John as she is age 10 on the 1841 Census and John is age 2 c 1838.

EDIT I think I have her;

Marriage Dec 1850, Bristol, 11 262
Jane STACEY and Francis INMAN on same page

1861 Census
Redland, Westbury on Trym,
Bristol, Gloucestershire
RG9/1739/120/19
Francis INMAN, 36, Head, Mar, Bootmaker, born Bristol
JANE, 30, Wife, Mar, born Stowey, Somerset
Sophia 8, George H 7, Frank H 6, Ellen 2, Garibaldi 11mths

By 1871 they have extra Children and Jane is easy to find on Census til 1891.

Hi Trish
Wow, thank you. This is just wonderful. I had completely missed her. I truly appreciate your efforts.
