Hi Maxine, Bet you are regretting this mail now. lol Should you get chance though a look up on the 1871 census for John Henry LLoyd age 7 with a father called William. Any memebers of family in the house as well. I will offer you a look up in Wilts in exchange if that helps. :o) John PS Don't worry if you don't get time.

Sorry Maxine, apparently my brain went dead, the area is Walsall. The information I have states Samuel Starkey (born 1861) was born in Shelfield Walsall. Any information you are able to find would be really appreciated. Penny

Hi Maxine I am still waiting for Joseph Worthington's birth certificate. Debbie found that I had been looking for Tunstall Stafford and the registration district was really Wolstanton.Joseph was born 1849 Tunstall Stafford. His address on the 1881 census was 36 Goddard Street. He is not on the 1901 census so must have died between 1881 and 1901 He married Annie Dove. I have all the info on the 1881 census but cannot get any further back. Any info would be great Maxine. May

Maxine, I am trying to find information on the 1871 Census. Here is what I have - William starkey married Emma Brown Sept 22, 1851. MC shows he was "Full age" and she was "Minor years" From IGI I found my gr grandfather's information, - Another William Starkey, plus 3 siblings - Louisa, Caroline and John all christened between 1853 to 1858. A cousin of mine has now told me she found another sibling - Samuel Starkey born August 28, 1861. He got married in January 1881, so the 1881 Census does not tell me who his parents were. He was born too late to be included in 1861 Census information. I am trying to determine if Samuel Starkey does indeed belong to this line, as my cousin did not keep any notes on where she found her information. Also I cannot find William or Emma on 1881 Census, so unable to pin point their age more exactly. I am guestimating they were born around 1830(s) so would have been 40ish in 1871 Census. If you have the time, and if the records are available I would appreciate any information you may be able to supply. Thank you for your offer to do research for others Penny

I am on holiday this week, so I am going to book a day at Stafford records office sometime this week. I have not been before, so I don't know what's on offer, but I am more than happy to do some look ups if people need them. Let me know what you are after (please try and be specific!) and I'll do my best. Regards Maxine
