Hi Michelle, I agree William 1824 looks like he died 1881 - 1891. He was with daughter Annie in Moreton Dorset on 1881 census whilst wife Maria was in Lambeth. You've narrowed the search to ten years now. I will try and get a look at the PRO indexes and see if I can find the death.

As for Joseph and Mary Ann, I haven't a clue with these too. They are on the 1911 census onlinestuff. Is this a case again slogging through the PRO indexes do you think?

Best wishes,
Derek

Hi Michelle, I've been to the attic in search of info I was given on Channel Isles etc and found some old sensus data that might prove useful.

I found 1871 census Tolpuddle 1871 with what looks like wife Ann WAY as lodger and widow. she died in dorchester Union 1879 and buried Tolpuddle. So your right William may have been buried channel isles. Although I found a piece of scrap paper stappled to census data with William WAY death Apr-Jun 1869 age 72 district Weymouth, county Dorset etc. I think I will send off for that certificate. In the mean time i'll post on channel islands mailing list to see if someone can check out for a death over there.

Best wishes,
Derek

Could it possible that William 1797 died in Channel Islands?wasn't he with wife Ann there on the 1861?I found a poss for Ann on the 1871 listed as Widow.

Hi Michelle

I seem to have hit a brick wall and hope you can help. I have traced my great great grandfather(James Loughlan) on every census from 1861 and each one says he was born in Leeds, there are alot of variations to spellings of his names and i have checked each one out. On the 1861 and 1871 census he is living with his father Peter but his mother is deceased. I found a birth in Leeds in 1855 under the spelling Laughlin but they have e-mailed me to say that it is not the right one, fathers name is not Peter. Have you any idea's as to what i can do now.

Kind regards

Danielle

Hi Michelle, I am having trouble trying to find some deaths in my direct paternal line. These are those giving me trouble:

William WAY born 1797 in Tolpuddle, married Ann Penny Miller. Last born 1837. Ann died 1879 Dorchester Union.

William WAY born 1824 Athelhampton, married Maria CLARK. Last born 1863. Can see him in 1881 census with daughter Mary Ann whilst wife was in Lambeth with family. Cannot see him on 1891 census. Cannot find him on FreeBMD.

Joseph WAY born 1856 Tolpuddle, married Mary Ann FOOT in Lambeth. Last born 1890. I can see both him and Mary Ann on 1911 census but cannot locate death.

Have you got and ideas on these at all please?

Best wishes,
Derek WAY

Hiya Michelle, thanks so much for looking on 1841 census for my William Richardson, all I know from his marriage cert is that he was age 19 in May 1842 and his father was Thomas, a Labourer. He married Isabella Holmes in the parish of Burton, Westmoreland. On his sons birth cert in 1854 he was in Holme, the reg district was Kendal and the sub district was Kirkby Lonsdale, Westmorland and Lancaster. Would be grateful of any info. Thanks Carolyn

I am sure you have the right Sarah.If the birth cert states John Storey as father and Sarah as mother.
The 1861-71 both state John Storey's birthplace as Cumberland.He is not an easy person to trace back...as he hasn't really given a district of birthplace.I am looking for their marriage but that's proving tricky as he was from Cumberland and she was from Lancashire and they lived in Durham!!I looked on free BMD and no marriage listed..??I will take another look on my site later.

Only got the 1861 and 71 for John.He is a tricky person to follow back.There are a few possibles on earlier census records.I suggest you obtain 1 of his children's birth certs and get his wives name(Maiden name)then you can obtain the marriage cert,to see what his father's name was.
There were a few possibles for marriages too!!

Thank you so much for giving me all that information!!

Looking at William Edward Dowsey (1872) birth cert., the mother, Mary Elizabeth's maiden name could be Sloan. His father's (Thomas Dowsey) occupation is down as Mariner (Merchant Services)

Thank you again for all the time you've spent on this!

Have you checked the 1911 to see John's place of birth?Was it Rotherham?

Have you any deaths for the parents?Any further info on John would help if you have any?
