Plumstead makes sense as my husband's family were from that area. I guess the various spellings of the name are understandable and the Irish Uriah McGee is the same as the later Plumstead one.

How did you manage to get to that info so quickly Andrew especially with the Meyce and not Magee? I would never have found that. Amazing

I will dig around a bit more to see what I can find and will look at freebmd. Thanks for your suggestions - will post when I have more info as I realise now my first post was a bit of a stab in the dark.

From 1891

Uriah Meyce 70
Lucy Meyce 67


Living in a caravan in Plumstead amongst a field of tents. Looks like they were travellers, perhaps in a fair.

Do you know about freebmd?

Have you used it to look for info?

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/

What is the source of your info about Daniel Willoughby's parents?

Who did he name as his father when he married?

Only someone connected would have 'heard' anything

All any of us can do is look for transcribed records, and post them on here.

You have still not said where................................

Really surprised by the speed of everyone’s replies – thanks.
My husband’s great grandfather is a Daniel Willoughby born in about 1863 to Lucy Vincent and George Willoughby or Uriah Magee. The confusion is that I read somewhere (and I cannot remember where it was) that Lucy Vincent married Uriah Magee and had some children by him. Uriah Magee then disappeared for several years so Lucy had him declared dead then married George Willoughby. Lucy had more children by George but then Uriah returned, kicked George out and Uriah and Lucy had more children. Some of the children who were Magee’s are called Willoughby and vice versa, so quite a mix up and it is not clear whether the aforementioned Daniel is really a Willoughby or a Magee. Has anyone else heard anything about this?

of course, we're all just guessing.............

Birth of child?
