Dancey Burial 1882

[..claire..]

We can rule out the 1906 marriage, it isn't online but this Alice Haines married George Edmonds as a widow. They are together in 1911 with her daughter Florance Haines and Alice's mother Alice Oakley.

Would it be possible for me to find out more details of his imprisonment for bigamy in 31/10/1885
at Gloucester.I would like to know if it was the marriage to Priscilla in 1885.

Gloucester Citizen 02 October 1885 -

James Dancey was charged with marrying Priscilla Wood in Newent on 12 August 1885. Priscilla said that she knew at the time of marriage that James had a wife living with another man in Cheltenham, declaring that his first wife left and broke up the family leaving their five children with nobody to act as a mother.

Cheltenham Chronicle 10 November 1885 -

James pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 6 months hard labour.

Some newspapers has his name as James Campbell Dancey.

Belatedly I have seen this post. I think through correspondence with others you have established the death of Mary Ann on 09 October 1882.

This is an extract posted to my tree in Ancestry

The 1881 census has the whole family, plus Maria Wood a cousin , resident at 10, St. Catherine's St. Sadly, from the same archive as above, the Gloucester Citizen records under Deaths, the death of Ann Dancey, wife of James Dancey of St. Catherine's St.,  age 36 years at Gloucester Infirmary on 09 October 1882.

I have not looked for the death of Alice Haines.

Cheers

Thank you for your input. I did have that information though.

As for Alice Dancey(Haines) I cannot find her after 1891. She may have remarried or just died.
