Kiely/Steacy

[Ladyhawk]

What does "FindMyPast" mean in your post and is it the England and Wales  Free 1939 census i need to check?

1939 register the surname is transcribed STEACY on Anc*y & STACY on FindMyPast it's free to search but you need a subscription to either to view the details...

You can purchase via GRONI online at the above link, and with choosing the "full" option (5 credits £2.50), it lets you see the digitised image of the original.

Also on GRONI is the marriage record of Joseph Steacy to Rachel Chapman in Belfast.

They are buried with your gt grandmother in the grave in Roselawn (allowing for transcription errors).

Finally via Lennon Wylie 1960 Belfast street directory at-

KG,
That’s great information to back up Ladyhawk’s finds. Well done.

Now - I can’t find a birth for Joseph Steacy with a father Robert nor a suitable birth in Wexford (as 1911 census).

There is a birth 1870, Shillelagh, Wexford with a father James.

There is a Fold3 Pensioner file
Joseph Steacy birth abt 1870 Wicklow - discharge August 1910
And a Fold3 Chelsea Pensioner Service Record
Joseph Steacy discharge 1910 The Royal Irish Regiment no. 3283

Forgot to add this - 1901 census there is a J S, 32 yrs b Wicklow in Clonmel Barracks. He is married and a Corporal.

You would need Joseph & Rachel's m/c to confirm her father’s name, occupation

William John Chapman & Jane Huddleston's marriage 29 Sept 1880 Belfast

Thanks KG - all proven with names too 

Now looking to take the Steacy/Kiely line back from Joseph's father, Robert Steacy and Eliza's father, Nicholas Kiely!!

would really appreciate any help you can give.

Heywood posted his possible death entry which would give his a birth year c1827

There is a death for Nicholas Kiely, 62 yrs in 1889-  a shoemaker who dies in the asylum.
