Sarah Jane -

As Jude said, there are no posts showing for f (hover the cursor over his/her picture, and you'll see that).

That means he/she is no longer a member of GR.

If you would like help with your search for the Steggles family, please give us all the information you have, however little, and we'll see if we can help.

If the Florence Steggles in the 1901 census posted by AnnCardiff is the right one, this is the full household. Her father is a market gardener:

It looks as if William Steggles, mentioned by f, was Thomas's father, and Florence's grandfather. William was a gardener, as was Thomas.

By 1901 William was a greengrocer - less physically demanding as he got older, I suppose:

It looks as if Annie was a second wife - unless she had Harry/Henry when she was only about 14.

Yes, William's first wife, and mother of at least the older children, was Eliza:

Just thought I would point out, that having 0 posts does not mean they are no longer a member as such

Couple of years ago someone posted on a 10 year old thread with 0 posts..... Which I pointed out..... 3 months later the poster returned saying she was still here and now had 54 posts..... No she hadn't posted that many times since the thread was resurrected... So must be some sort of glitch in the system

If you drop down from paying to free member the posts will still be showing a number, so why some are not is a mystery

Thanks, Jax.

Well, in that case, Sarah Jane, you can try clicking on f's name, and sending a private message. GR may perhaps be able to notify f that he/she has a message from you, if his/her email address is still the same one that was registered with GR.

As Sarah Jane is a new poster herself, she may not know how to find these replies. I will let her know how the system works. :-)

William and family in 1861 - he's a greengrocer:

Possibly William and Eliza's marriage??

Eliza in 1851 - an unmarried tailoress - with an illegitimate son:

Ancestry has young William wrongly transcribed as son of Thomas Tricker and his wife.

He's actually the son of William Steggles:

Barham William Steggles Colchester 12 60

I don't see him in 1861, so far - not with Eliza and William Steggles, anyway, and don't see a death.
