Richard Stallwood - Frimley

[diy]

I am trying to piece together some details on my ancestors. I have Gr Gr Gr grandfather Richard Stallwood brn about 1835 in Frimley that married a Jane Yates and went on to live in York Town.

It looks like his parents may have been a Richard Stallwood and Eliza but I am struggling to get more information. any help would be greatly appreciated.

That information fits with Richard Stallwood on the the 1851 census Piece: 1595 Folio: 24 Page: 7   Address: York Town, Ash York Town.


1851 for Jane Cottee Piece: 1595 Folio: 23 Page: 4     York Town, Ash York Town

John Cottee   Head   Married   M   50        Tailor             Farnham, Surrey   
Anne Cottee   Wife   Married   F   40                             Crondall, Hampshire
Jane Cotee   Daughter               F   10        Scholar           Frimley, Surrey

In 1861 John and Ann are living at Wrights Cottage, London Road, Ash, his occupation is still given as a tailor.

That ties up with the information that I have though I do have a mystery I am trying to unravel. Richard and Jane have a son called Lewis, whom I am descended from, however Lewis takes on the Surname of Yates. I cannot figure where this comes from. Jane remarries after Richard's Death to a Teasdale.

Initially I thought that this may have been Jane's Maiden name but that looks like it is Cottee. SO it is a mystery as to where the Yates comes form

Richard's baptism

Richard Stallwood
Christening Date:    06 Sep 1835
Christening Place:    Frimley, Surrey, England
Father's Name:   Richard Stallwood
Mother's Name:   Eliza

[groom]

It's not his grandmother's maiden name either:

Richard Stallwood
marriage:   18 May 1834 Frimley,Surrey,England
spouse:   Eliza Bird

When did he adopt the name of Yates? I can see him as Stallwood in all censuses.

On the 1881 census he is listed as Yates.

Head  Margaret L Hutton  F 44  Maidstone, Kent, England   
Son  Charles J Hutton  M 14  Battersea, Surrey, England   
Son  Willie J Hutton  M 11  York Town, Surrey, England   
Lodger Head  Lewis B Yates  M 23  York Town, Surrey, England   
Wife  Lydia Yates  F 24  Backinford, Devon, England   
Daughter  Florence R Yates  F 0  York Town, Surrey, England   
Visitor  Ruth Stallwood  F 9  York Town, Surrey, England 

RG 11 Piece/Folio: 783 / 98 

in the 1861 census the Stallwoods have a lodger who's last name is Yates. Can't figure out the connection

Very strange as he reverts back to Stallwood on later censuses so it obviously wasn't a permanent change.

It also looks as if Florence was registered as a Yates

Change has stuck. Lewis had a son Edward Earnest Yates (my Gr Grandfather) and the Yates name has carried on to this day.
