Member Since: March 2004 Posts: 51 Send Message	We believe Charles was born around 1821 in High Easter, Essex and married in 1840 (to whom??). He had 2 sons that we know of: Charles Henry (b1841) and Alexander (b c1854). He was widowed prior to 1881 when he was still living in High Easter. Can anyone locate him and his family on 1841,1851,1861,1871 Census? Many thanks in anticipation. Shirley

Does this mean father married Dorothy? 1841: Name: Chas Joyce Age: 1 Estimated birth year: abt 1840 Gender: Male Where born: Essex, England Civil parish: High Easter Hundred: Dunmow County/Island: Essex Country: England Street address: [between Yew Tree & Lofty] Occupation: Registration district: Dunmow Sub-registration district: Hatfield Broad Oak Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age Dorothy Joyce 20 Chas Joyce 1 Joseph Joyce 18 Ely Joyce 15 This is the order of the household so it certainly looks like he married Dorothy. Dorothy & Joseph are ag labs. Head of the previous household is a 30 year old William Joyce, thatcher.

	Ozi Did you notice that on the 1871 it said that Charles Joyce was Married? On the 1881 he is Widowed so is wife (possibly Dorothy) still alive in 1871, or is it another of the mistakes in marital status? sylvia

Member Since: June 2003 Posts: 9,301 Send Message	Not sure of status in 1871, looking for wife. I wondered if Dorothy died & he remarried. Large gap between sons. Ozi.

Member Since: April 2004 Posts: 46,062 Send Message	SylviaInCanada	Report	29 Nov 2007 04:32
	They just seem to have disappeared between the possible sighting in 1841 and 1871! Although Carles jr does appear in 1861. Where would an Ag Lab go with wife and kids? Transported??????????? sylvia

Member Since: June 2003 Posts: 9,301 Send Message	I'm always amazed at how many have family that emigrate & return between a couple of census. Even in the mid-1800s. However none of the Joyce brood seem to be born overseas. Dorothy disappears off the face of the earth! Ozi.

	Ozi, Good for you! I gave up for a bit, and went off to do something else on another site! Now if we could only find Charles sr and Charles jr in 1851. sylvia
