Find Ancestors

I would like help to find detail of Ann Stacey, born about 1866, I believe in Beaminster or thereabouts but could also be Sheffield Eccleshall Bierlow.

Parents were John Hamilton Stacey (abt 1838) and Martha Chick (abt 1840).

If more information about JHS is also available then I would be very interested please.

How might I be able to find all of Ann Stacey's siblings? I have records for JHS (son's names same as father's, economical but confusing!), and William Hamilton Stacey.

Thank you Lynski, I didn't have records of their christenings / baptisms, only their births, so that's very helpful.

Given that both John & William were born and baptised in Sheffield, it seems likely that Annie was too.

Thanks Julie. John the father died young. I believe (my interpretation of the evidence so far) that he married in Dorset, went to Sheffield - presumably for a job, died, and his wife and kids moved back to Beaminster to live with Martha's parents.

@Lynski - oh no! not another JHS ;_) This is really strange. I am / was reasonably confident of JHS senior's birth date as 1838, the 1861 census gives abt 1839 and I have a registration date of 3Q1838, I know nothing of his parents yet. So if this really is another one I'd love to understand how he fits in.

That marriage for JHS fits nicely, thank you. And his father's name is ..... John!

And the 1871 census is the evidence for Martha and her children (x3) moving back to live with her parents. Circmstantial evidence for there only being three children.

@Shirley - is that the 1871 census record? I think it would fit with JHS going to Sheffield for work on his own and then sending for Martha when he was settled?

Thanks all!

Thanks Shirley, that 1891 census says Annie was born in Sheffield like her brothers, and the 1901 says JHS was a travelling clerk - which he certainly seems to be!

Are those marriage records, Shirley? If so it's a possible for Ann. Is there any way of getting further information about her?

I've been browsing the marriage records on GR and I've found an Elizabeth Ann V Stacey married in Ecclesall Bierlow - which was where Martha and JHS lived. Can someone please find out more about this marriage and whether it could be the same Ann?

Thanks Christine, that confirms Ann(ie) and weakens my theory about Elizabeth Ann.

She's still single in 1911, so probably never married. Here she is with her mother....
