matilda mayes/masey

[Neale1961]

That looks good Cas.
I wonder what happened between the birth of daughter Matilda in 1867, and the son Robert (to second wife) in 1875.

I have made no progress in finding Selina / Louisa Maisey / Snell at any point.

[Neale1961]

Eliza Moreton looks to be unmarried in the 1871 census, but living 2 doors away were members of the Mays family from Yarmouth.  (William age 17, James Massey's son, and James' widow, Eliza)

Think there may have been another son John, the name Snell does not seem to be that common in area.

Death - MAY'S, JOHN       0

Maybe some of the other children birth/death certs may help trace or give more info?

 - Note the address is Livery Street – same as on marriage certificate.
 - Thomas is a fishmonger – agrees with marriage information, and info on child’s birth.
 - Ages would agree with Louisa / Sebrina being under age when she married in 1860.

Father Robert is a shoemaker – this agrees with information on Thomas' marriage record.

Thank you for this.  So if this is this Mayes who married Sabina, he’s already married to Louisa?

Info for the Gem Street industrial School is not available at the NA. Contact details for minutes, admission registers etc on link. I also think there is a possibility that Eliza age 8 given in 1871 is there.

May get info on parentage

Births registered for children on Thomas and Louisa? / Sebrina?

This is great thank you.  So do you think on the birth certificate sneath is a transcription error and should have been snell? And regarding the spelling of Thomas Mayes? Masey, Mazey or Maizey?

Please just use the reply button. Quoting large sections of text which have previously been posted and read, makes the whole thread confusing and difficult to follow.

so the I in 1841 is really an S  the ink is faded.

Isn't there a Leath in County Kerry Ireland.
-----------
Robert Mazey was buried 10 March 1864 age 63 Great Yarmouth -Workhouse
Margaret Maise death recorded 1863 age 70  Great Yarmouth

Son James was in the workhouse 1881. If the OP can get the information from the interviews to establish residency it could answer questions

OP?? Sorry if being thick

[Vixen999]

AMENDED Robert has born Ireland, not Norfolk, 1851 says born Leath.

I think Robert was born in Leith (Edinburgh) Scotland. See 1851 census.
--------

Thomas Maisey’s brother, James Maisey, born 1822 Great Yarmouth, was also living in Birmingham and working as a fish monger.

Do you have a census link for James? Thanks
