Families of Thomas Stanley and his spouse Mary Cooksey

[jibhauler14]

I have an Elizabeth Stanley born 1804 in Sedgley she marries Joseph Wickstead 14/08/1825 in Kingswinford, Elizabeth has 2 sisters Sarah born 1807 in Sedgley and Eleanor born 1809 also in Sedgley, the father is as far as I can confirm a Thomas Stanley born in W'ton 1780 and dies 1851 also in Wolverhampton but cannot find his family ditto for his wife a Mary Cooksey she was born 1782 in Wednesbury they marry at St Peters W'ton 23/01/1804 and again not having any luck finding her family, any ideas gratefully accepted, cannot find any record of Thomas being in Sedgley but it could classed as Wton Possibly ??..

There is a baptism of a Mary Cooksey at St Peter's, Wolverhampton on 14 June 1783, parents Thomas and Sarah.

This is amongst the Staffordshire baptisms on Find My Past.
There is just a transcription of it on Ancestry. Might this be your Mary?

I can only see one other child born to Thomas and Sarah, who is baptised at the same church in Wolverhampton on 14 Feb 1781 - named Nancy.

Probably a complete coincidence but I have been researching GAUNT in the 1939 census - obviously a hundred years too late !!!! but the family I am researching were in 9 Florence Road in Oldbury, and the next door neighbours were COOKSEY !!!


Happy hunting

Hello
The baptisms at Sedgley for the 3 girls give Thomas as of Coseley miner/collier.
There is a burial at Sedgley  Thomas Stanley of Coseley 2.12.1810.
Their marriage also has a witness Joseph Standley who might be a relative.

Hello
It looks like Eleanor Stanley married at Sedgley 26.9.1831 William Sergeant wit Joseph Felkin and Mary Cresswell.
I think Mary Cooksey /Stanley remarried after Thomas's death 29.11.1813 At Wolverhampton st Peters to a Daniel Felkin collier..
In 1841 at Water Road Wolverhampton
Daniel 59 collier y
Mary 66
Joseph 17 col y
John 14 col y
Daniel is buried at Swan Bank Wesleyian chapel Bilston 14.4.1850 ge 69 years
1851  Canal side Bradley
Mary 68 widow born Sedgley
John 24 iron founder Sedgley

Mary Felkin buried Bilston Cemetery age 73 20.5.1855

Other children  James Adams Filkin 15.1.1815 Sedgley,Mary Ann b 11.7.1816 bapt 19.3.1834 Sedgley,Pheobe 17.1.1819 and Daniel 3.9.1821.

Mary Cooksey 's parents had other children Elizabeth 29.5.1792 Rowley Regis. Thomas 13.1.1794 Sedgley Joseph 25.10.1795 Dudley ,John Devey 1.6.1796 Wolverhampton ,Thomas 18.4.1802 Dudley

They married at Wolverhampton 7.2.1780 and her maiden name was Devey.

There is a possible Will for Thomas Cooksey ueoman farmer 1806 naming his wife Sarah ,eldest son Henry and 5 other children.I can't find a son Henry so it might not be the same Thomas  Cooks
