I'm doubtful about Emma Clark, unless John's YOB is badly wrong in 1851.

Re Lucy Stallard, I don't see anyone of that name born or living in London in 1861.

There's this one, as a long shot:

Lucy Stallard
in the 1861 England Census
Name: Lucy Stallard
Age: 29
Estimated Birth Year: 1832
Relation: Visitor
Gender: Female
Where born: N
Civil Parish: Brighton
County/Island: Sussex
Country: England
Registration district: Brighton
Sub-registration district: Kemp Town
ED, institution, or vessel: 13

I don't see her death, though.

On the surface it looks like Mary (her mother) married Thomas Chiles but I don't think it is the same Mary and I can't find a marriage ?? I think they are seperate households at the same address?





If this is her then her father IS a William !

Gender: Female
Baptism Date: 26 Feb 1831

Could be her death?

She does appear to have knocked a few years off her age over time but then John was SO much younger than her?

The Jane Batchelor you have her with on 1861 is her sister!

ArgyllGran, I'm not sure why the marriage of Emma Clark would question the age of John Gibbons on the 1851 census that I posted showing Eliza E with her possible parents? You don't think then that her father's name may also have been John? I wondered if her father and her husband's father may have been brothers.


Here's Emma Clark in 1841 and allowing for the "rounding down" of ages it ties in with the 1851 census.

Emma Clark
Age: 25
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1816
Gender: Female
Where born: Middlesex, England
Civil Parish: St Marylebone
Hundred: Ossulstone (Holborn Division)

Sorry, Rootgatherer -

I was wrongly thinking that the John Gibbons in 1851 was the John Gibbons who married Eliza E.

Senior moment!

Dea ...........


that 1841 Census is confusing!!

The double line indicating separate houses is actually between George Stallard and Lucy ............ so the elder Stallards are seemingly in the same house as the Chiles, while the 2 younger ones are with Richard Mackford


I think you are correct ............. they are separate households, but I also think "Chiles" should be "Childs"

I cannot find a Mary Chiles born ca 1832 anywhere else, BUT there is a baptism for a Mary Childs in 1830 at Saint Nicholas, Brighton, Sussex, parents Thomas Childs and Mary

Really puzzled by all of this. Have ordered JG's Death Cert to try to glean any more background information.
Stand by ...........!

Nicola'S

Nicola'S Report 5 Mar 2016 15:00

DC for JG arrived. He died on 20.8.1882 @ St.Thomas's Hospital, London, aged 40, Coachman. Cause of death: 'Fractured ribs and Shock. Fell off a Brougham accidentally. 3 days.' Ooooh dear, poor chap.

Now I'm back into 'family whispers' territory because it was always believed that he had been kicked to death by one of the horses in the Royal Mews. Now deffo NOT the case. But wonder whether perhaps the said Brougham was 'Royal'????!!

Inquest was held on 24.8.1882. Is it possible to find this inquest? - would it have been reported in the papers?? Hope so.

Well, bang goes the 'Royal' connection. As my cousin said after I told her "Oh dear, so he was a drunk driver". She has a great sense of humour!!

Now, I wonder how we go about finding his burial? Any thoughts, please??

SylviaInCanada Report 5 Mar 2016 22:10

at least the coroner's report was not as gory as the one that was found for me regarding my gt grandfather who fell out a train carriage onto the rails below in 1877.

The newspaper report filled 2 very long columns, with full description of his injuries ...... and ended with the Coroner saying that he believed the family would have a case to sue the train company for not ensuring that the carriage door on the track side was securely locked.

His widow and children didn't have the money to do that.


but the article did prove wrong my inherited family story that gt grandfather had saved a little girl from falling out of a carriage somewhere on the Lancashire/Yorkshire Moors, but had fallen out himself.

er no ............. it was at a train station in Oldham, and he was trying to see if the train had reached the station (it had stopped just outside)

Nicola'S

Nicola'S Report 6 Mar 2016 00:15

Sylvia, you made me laugh! In fact, one of my ancestors had an equally gory end to yours and also at the hands of the railways. See my post -PLEASE: National Archives look up. Although my original heading was 'Gruesome ....' but a GR advised me to change it.

My ancestor went under the wheels of an almost stationary train as it was coming into Kings X. He was in too much of a hurry to secure a horsedrawn cab, opened the train carriage door and slipped and fell. The inquest decided that a contributory cause of his death was "his age and corpulence". Ooooh dear! It also mentioned that in those days there were no steps leading from the carriage to the platform and this was an added safety hazard. He lived long enough for them to get him to hospital on a cart and to tell them his name; he was a Barrister.

Then there was a hooha because they couldn't locate his Will but eventually it was found. He is buried under a rather grand and 'over the top' monument with some other family members.

How I love family history with all its twists and turns.

Mine was only a lowly Ag Lab, who'd moved to the industrial north for more money (???)

Strangely, they put him in a barrow, took him into the station, the station master then took the last train back into the town and called for a doctor. The doctor's assistant went to look at my gt grandfather and ordered him taken to the hospital in town. So, he was put on or in an engine and taken back to town to be transferred to the hospital ............... but he died before the train engine got back to town.

His body then stayed at the closest station to where he died until the next day when it was transferred to a station on the other side of the one where he'd died ........ so he retraced the journey. Two coroners said it now wasn't in their jurisdiction.

He fell out of the train on Saturday night, and the inquest wasn't held until Thursday

Luckily, his nephew was travelling with him, so he was identified quickly.
