Thanks for the explanation, I was wondering if it was a mistranscription of a Suffolk village 
Leiston was fine and Aldeburgh was amazingly quiet, for a nice change.

Just wondering how much you were able to find out about John William Frederick Storkey.   Being an unusual name I had a 'play' last night - it's a b.....r to find on records but got back eventually to his grandfather who was born around the same time as Robert and, like Robert, wasn't born where he said he was on the census.   I guess it's possible they were brothers even.

I don't want to post all that I found out in case it's information you already have.

Hi Allan

Continuing on from what you know of John William Frederick Storkey.   Depending on what document you are looking at the surname varies between Starkey/Stirkey/Staulkey/Storkey/Storky/Sturkey!!   (His stepfather was a Henry Lever, d.1900).

1861 Census - Leiston, Suffolk - ref. RG9 - 1178 - 74 - 15

William Staulkey    20     Blk. Smth       born Aldbrough (i.e. Aldeburgh), Suffolk
Maryann Staulkey   21                         born Rendham, Suffolk
Elen Jane Read        1                          born London, Middlesex

(Transcribed on Ancestry as Stanlkey!)

William Storkey married Mary Read Sept.qtr.1860 Plomesgate Regn. District, Suffolk

Although I can't trace service records it looks like William joined the army shortly after 1861 census.

They had the following children baptised in India:

Ellen Catherine Storky b.8/1/1860, bp.19/2/1863 Chinsorah, Bengal (must be Elen Jane (?) in census) - looks like she was bur.8/8/1869 as plain Ellen.
William George Sturky b.19/2/1862, bp.19/2/1863 Chinsorah, Bengal (must have died)
William Frederick Stirkey b.8/7/1865, bp.12/8/1865 Lahore, Bengal, bur.28/12/1865 Lahore
Isabella Storkey bc.1867 bur.9/8/1869 Saugor, Bengal
John William Frederick Storkey b.8/4/1871, bp.26/4/1871 Saugor, Bengal, bur.30/9/1875
Henry Hollis Storkey b.8/10/1874, bp.1/12/1874 Nowgong, Bengal, bur.30/9/1875

William must have died around 1874/1875 as his widow then remarried:

Henry Lever married Mary Storkey 23/4/1876 Nowgong, Bengal, E.I. (Henry also in Royal Artillery and this info. on his service records)

1841 Census - Aldeburgh, Suffolk - ref. HO107 - 1031 - 1 28 - 6

Saml Stalkey  30
Mary Stalkey  20
Maria Stalkey  1

(transcribed as Falkey on Ancy and SSalkey on FindMyPast)

1851 Census - Aldeburgh, Suffolk - ref. HO107 - 1802 - 555 - 20

Samuell Starkey    44    Ag. Lab.    b.Aldeburgh, Suffolk
Mary Starkey 36                                  ditto
Marah Starkey  11                               ditto
William Starkey 9                                ditto
Samuel Starkey 8mos.                         ditto
Elizabeth Butcher (lodger)

Samuel Storkey married, I think, Mary Todd Mar.qtr.1837 Plomesgate.

Samuel (as Starkey) bur.8/1/1852  Aldeburgh

So, under various spellings, JWF's grandfather was a Samuel Storkey bc.1807 Aldeburgh but no baptism there which is akin to Robert Staulkey bc.1804 Leiston (but no baptism there).

Were they brothers perhaps?

hi annette,
                 i must thank you so much for all your info  on what you have found i am just trying to take it all in i dose look like possible that jwfs grandfather and my robert staulkey were perhaps brothers and spelling of name has changed with them its interesting that on 1861 cencus you found for william i had some credits left for find my past and putting in your ref no rg9 1178 74 15 in find my past its transcribed as starckey but when you read entery it certainly looks clear that the name on sheet is staulkey i am in the library just now as they have library edition of ancestry and just going thru it under stanlkey where i find some of my staulkeys under this name but can find them all when i put in staulkey i think there must be definate connection with the two names staulkey and storkey i will get copy of williams marrige certificate to see if anything may give clues on it have found them on find my past marrying under the storkey name ref 4a 884 its a srange one then you find them 1861 cencus using name staulkey all this would seem to fit in with what was found in the teapot and having the coach lamp from the  merryweather victoria fire engine at the longshop leiston as i say i am just taking it all in at moment the spelling dose get varied at times as i get lots of mail with people having various attempts at spelling my name what you have found certaily helps back up what we were thinking that there must be a connection i think will study the details more when i get home and print them off in the library thanks again for all your hard work on finding this

                                                            thank you
