Not sure of status in 1871, looking for wife.

I wondered if Dorothy died & he remarried. Large gap between sons.

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?

Hi Ozi,

I wondered about this one ...... but is Joseph Charles, or is Charles away from home, or is this Dorothy a Joyce??

Eldest son? 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.

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.
