PARRY family, wolverhampton

[ElizabethHerts]

Has anyone mentioned this one?

1861 Census
PARRY, Charlotte
WOLVERHAMPTON, Staffordshire
RG09 piece 2003 folio 30 page 17
Address: 13, Bushbury Road, Wednesfield

PARRY, Thomas Head Of Family Married M 36 1825 Labourer Smethest Salop
PARRY, Charlotte Wife Married F 39 1822 Labourers Wife Chetwynd Salop
PARRY, Mary Daughter Unmarried F 9 1852 Scholar Bradford Staffordshire
PARRY, George Son M 6 1855 Scholar Buchbury Staffordshire

No William though, and not born in Herefordshire.

However, I thought I'd put it in because of the name.

I've found the John Lamsdale who died in 1849 on the 1841 census. He looks to be the son of Elias and Nancy Lamsdale (I remember seeing them on the marriage indexes - Elias married twice and Nancy was his second wife)

http://search.ancestry.co.uk/iexec?h...=&pid=13834719

Elias 80 locksmith
Nancy 65
John 35 Journeyman locksmith
Samuel 25 ditto
William 20 ditto

All born in county. Address Waterglade (I think?!), Willenhall, Staffs.

I guess the other Elias I fould before was a son of this one and the other John was a grandson.

So, it looks likely that this John was either a bachelor or a widower in 1841.

OK, we can eliminate them because I found them here:

1871 Census
PARRY, Charlotte
WALSALL, Staffordshire
RG10 piece 2956 folio 35 page 17

Castle Street, Darlaston

That's very likely to be the right one, because the occupation on Samuel Richard's baptism (in 1847) is locksmith!

I just remembered that Cambridgeshire has its own BMD site, and I've found Maria Game's death on there - 1855, age 40. Also a William Game died in 1856, age 7, right age to be the William jr on the 1851 census, and Richard Game died in 1855 age 4, also Anne Maria in 1855 age 14 and Harriet in 1854 age 6. There is also a Walter who died in 1855 age 1 and a George in 1856 age 1 who may or may not be part of the same family.

So of that Game family in 1851, the only ones who might still be alive in 1861 are William senior, Charles (born abt 1836), Joseph (born abt 1838) and Frederick (born abt 1840). There is a possible marriage for Frederick in Wolverhampton in 1873 - Frederick Edward Game married Mary Ann Game, Frederick's father William Game, fruiterer.

Have to see if we can find them in 1861 to see if their William is still with them or not.

I think they may have returned to Cambridge.

From 1861 and CAMDEX it would seem:

Maria may have died in Cambridge in 1855. Record on CAMDEX but aged 40.
Charles is in Cambridge aged 22
Joseph is in Cambridge also aged 22 but they are not together.
Frederick I've not found (haven't loked properly yet)
William may have died in Cambridge in 1856. Record on CAMDEX aged 7
Richard may have died in Cambridge in 1855. Record on CAMDEX aged 4
Ann may have died in Cambridge in 1855. Record on CAMDEX is slightly too old at 14 (But FreeBMDdoes have this death as Ann Maria).
Harriet may have died in Cambridge in 1854. Record on CAMDEX aged 6

lol We were probaby doing those lookups at the same time as I ate my lunch before clicking Submit!!

[Merry]

So, as Maria seems to have died, I wonder why William didn't marry Charlotte? (assuming he didn't!) And why doesn't she seem to have married any of her partners?

[Merry]

Kate, have you come across anyone to fit this? I don't see why it would be 'our' William, but......

Yes, that one was on the Wolverhampton marriage transcripts site and that William was age 19, occupation shearsman, son of Robert, fruiterer. Address is Cleveland Street. Must be connected somehow!
